Va. Tourism Pitch Mimics Gang's Sign

Jesus H Christ with a Blackberry. This is just ridiculous.

Virginia is still for lovers, but the state's tourism agency will eliminate images of people making heart symbols with their hands in its upcoming advertising campaign because the gesture is also used by a violent street gang.

The Virginia is for Lovers "Live Passionately" campaign will remove images of models making the hand gesture, one of several signs associated with the Gangster Disciples, Virginia Tourism Corp. officials said Friday. The gesture shows thumbs and index fingers formed into a heart.

So now street gangs are determining what Virginia can't do in an advertising campaign? Bullshit!!!1!!

Wonder what the Jews are gonna do.
