Kelly Slater Politickin' in the Pipeline

Surfboard art goes political! kelly slater

After losing a heat in the Rip Curl surf contest in Chile, reigning eight-time Foster's ASP World Champion Kelly Slater was photographed rockin' a surfboard with a statement. The board art mockingly puts Abu Ghraib images in the iPod silhouette advertisement style.

Slater is not known for having much to say on anything -- except winning. Guess he does now ... or maybe he just digs the wicked graphics!

17. BOBO -- Quick, how many Iraqis on the flights hijacked on 9/11?
Lemme help: 0.
Quick, how many held in Abu Ghraib subjected to torture and lesser forms of mistreatment were actually accused of terrorist-related acts?
Lemme help again: 0.
Instead of revealing your ignorance regarding really basic facts and your misguided sense of "justice", you might try reading a newspaper or book. These kinds of sites are fun to visit, but wake up already.

21. Julie,

I was thinking about feeding Bobo too, then again he's just not worth the time, effort or space. Same goes for Mesaboy.

22. Take the hooks out of your mouths kids and read "The Looming Tower". The words are big but you can probably handle it. CMB: which side of Newport Blvd? East or West?

23. Christ you people are dumb. Was the last movie you saw "Little Mermaid"? Let me give you a hint: if you make Bobo mad he'll come after you with a pillowcase full of oranges. The guys in the prison were BAD GUYS. These are the same guys killing their own countrymen. Why do you constantly defend them? Kelly should be ashamed of himself and so should his sponsors. And ExPat, I'm guessing you still enjoy all the freedom our troops provide you with? Or are you writing from say, China? BOBO, get going after Bin Laden, sounds like you're the man for the job. And Costa Mesa Boy, if you can surf, see you at the Jetty, if you know where that is Homes.

26. Bobo's been reflecting on how harsh he was on Julie. Having those prisoners stand on stools, get scared by dogs and have some ass photos taken was wrong. Let's follow the lead of of the locals and next time BEHEAD THEM, mutilate their bodies and string them up from a bridge in downtown. Kids, enjoy that air conditioning today, blow dry your hair and ride to work in your cars. Make sure you check out that cell-phone video from a couple of weeks ago of that 17 year-old girl being stoned to death at 11:00 am in the Town Square. Kelly: how about a real nice graphic of Daniel Berg or Daniel Pearl's severed head next time you puke? Or is it the "rape" mentality? They had it coming?

27. Take it easy Bobo, how cool could Kelly Slater really be if he banged GrannySkank Pam Anderson? I hope he was wearing his FULL Quicksilver winter suit!

28. Bobo has to get to work at the Gitmo Bada Bing now. Here's today's assignment:

1. How many dead Kurds in Iraq?
2. How many dead US Troops as of today?
3. What's the difference between a Shiite and a Sunni?

See ya later kids.

29. Kelly Slater is beautiful person.He actually looks like my ex boyfriend and seems like a good person too...so no jealous comments on her just because you will never look like or make the millions he makes:) Kelly come to Cincinnati!!!
