What's the most touching thing you can imagine running across with your mom on Mother's Day? How about the Midwest Bang Bus?
On Sunday afternoon on Frederick Avenue in St. Joseph, my family and I pulled up behind The Bang Bus. In the back window was the clever warning, "If she's a rocking don't cum a knocking." The case on the spare tire advertised Truckershos.com, "the truckers web site." The otherwise nondescript black van had Missouri plates. I wondered what the male driver had done for his mom that day. Did he take her for a ride in the Bang Bus?
Later, I checked out the Web site. Slogan: "If it's got tits or tires, it will give you problems." Too bad the site itself has little of either. There are some photos of gals in tight shirts and bikini tops but no actual nudity -- yet. Most of the site is still under construction, but its makers promise in an intro that live video, chatrooms, Web radio and games like Donkey Kong are all coming soon: "Our mission here at truckershos is to provide you, the trucker, with as many tools, information, and entertainment as possible to make life on the road as stress free as we can." What a relief.

I recently saw this mysterious "Bang Bus" on the Belt Highway. Here is my question: Who is to judge this man for advertising his website by coming up with a clever catchphrase and placing it on something everyone could see? No one. Yes, I plan to tell all of the people out there who happen to live in a parallel universe. The man is genius to place his business on the side of an everyday vehicle. As for all of the ridiculous desk jobs like most have, this man has decided to not longer envy the costly elements of advertising, but to do more in a less costly way.
Next, obviously he lives in St. Joe because most of theses sitings have been within the town. Here comes the next question: Why bash this website and this man and ignore the other large cities across the United States who most likely have "Bang Buses" of their own? In Vegas, its LEGAL to put ones fully naked body on the side of a moving billboard and dance around town. In New York, Dallas, Atlanta, Chicago, and everywhere else people are trying to make a living based off of adult entertainment. Has anyone drove to South Missouri and counted how many XXX shops there are while a mile down the street there is a strip club? If you haven't, you should. Then this whole "Bang Bus" wouldn't bother you up-tight snots who live in St. Joe.
So I cheer on this man who is making a living off this business.
I just saw it today driving on Fredrick Ave. It pulled out from the apartments accross the street from Maid Rite.
Sure, I know we've accepted the convention of bang-buses as part of the rich tapestry of our culture heritage, blah blah blah, who are we to judge their bang-bus lifestyle, tolerance for douches and their douchey traditions, etc. etc.
But it's still annoying when you call out a douchebag publicly and their only response is "WOO HOO FREE PUBLICITY! FART!"
I'd like to think this person was just passing through St. Joe on his way to, well, anywhere else but here.
