Thumbs down Jamie Foxxxx: not so smart choice in boogie boards

OK, apparently it's just a rental board, but still a very unfortunate choice!

Oh and btw, why is he wearing a sawn-off pantyhose on his head?

Interesting. It's probably very useful for lots of things, like making jam and sifting for gold. Apparently it also serves in combustion and emissions technology:

Seriously... what do you think of the frakkin' board!?

I find the juxtaposition of Star of David and Nazi Swastika especially puzzling. What is the artist trying to convey?

More importantly: Why would Jamie Foxxxxx choose this board!?

It was probably some teenager being "edgy" by scribbling a swastika, star of david, and peace sign all near eachother. Not exactly high art wrought with complex meaning, just juvenile juxtaposition. I'm sure Jews and Skinheads are equally offended by the board...so let's all call it even and move on.

Clearly because it was only $30

Yep, and Jamie Foxxx is so poor he can only afford this crappy, scribbled-on by an 'edgy' teenager used boogie board!

Geez ... the grinning smiley should have been some indication to you that I was joking.

It was my first time though. I didn't think they existed..thank you for posting this Zaphod. I assumed they were only in movies, but I've seen unicorns in movies and we all know they don't really exist. But, now that I know they are out there I will keeps my eyes peeled to try to spot more.

OK.... thank you for your thoughts on Jamie's headwear and all, but this is really not about that. It's not about him wearing a giant black condom on his head, it's about his board, fer cryin' out loud. It's about his incredibly poor judgement in using a boogie board, in public, with a Nazi symbol scribbled on it. I'm not saying he sympathises with that ideology or anything, I'm just wondering what he was thinking. IT'S NOT ABOUT THE HEADWEAR. Jeeeezas!
