It was an amazingly springlike day in New York City. While I ran along Brooklyn Q line stops, since yet again the MTA does it’s repairs in Brooklyn when it can screw up my day, while I meandered the streets of Manhattan, where everybody was both happy with the weather and bummed because the finally got just the right tights to cover up their holiday excesses, I saw people happy and amazed to be in out in sunny, balmy day that in my lifetime you didn’t see until March or April at the earliest.
But the lovely weather and encroaching heat death of life as we know isn’t the point of this post.
Know, about 2PM on the upper east sides, I saw a black Mercedes, rear windows blacked out. the driver looking like the Transporter with hair and a good dosage of anti-depressant. This was clearly the the vehicle of someone important.
Some one of status.
Then I saw the license plate.
“CAPORN69″
Wow. How rude. How dare they.
They can have all their pride in the California industry they want, but show some respect. Don’t they know there is a diverse, gritty New York industry? One that allows people to be people, not surgically perfect Fembots and ultra tanned men of athletic perfection. One that features not just the people people want to watch doing sick things, but people who really do sick things doing sick things.
And how dare they disrespect that.
Where are East Coast pornographers ready to defend the New York’s integrity and turf? Not there when they need to be. Not there today at 2PM on the upper East side.
What? Do I watch porn? Of course not. Never. What is this thing you call ‘porn’?
I’m talking about civic pride here, you sick, sick people.

I’ve come across this car twice before, an i asked the driver what it meant. He said it was short for “Capricorn” which is the limo service… and it just turned out to be in bad taste.

Thanks for the follow up. Your answer is sensible, rational, and should be easy to verify.
Therefore I must disregard it, for we make reality. You say the facts don’t match? I say thee nay. This was a purposeful insult. THAT IS WHAT I BELIEVE!!!!
Oh yeah, I also believe that every time you type in all caps, you sound like Goliath from “Gargoyles.”

I think the plate might actually have meant “See a porn 69.” Taking this sort of abbreviation a little further, I’ve heard rumors of the license plate “FQNDS” to mean “F*** you in the a**”–which makes the suggestion of watching filth seem downright friendly. It’s also possible that “Caporn” is a play on “Capone” and you observed a mobster’s filth wagon.

Not bad thinking, Anonymous #2. ( or #1?)
As for FQNDS on a license plate, wow.
That takes offensive dring to a new level.
Thanks for posting, sorry for the delay, hope you keep confusing things.
