...he's on Team Conservative.
We just made sure they could never disown him.

I was just wondering how long ago we showcased him, and have spelled moron "moran" in his honor.

(17,188 posts)6. He belongs to the ages.
He belongs to everyone who ever stuck a knife in an electrical outlet.
He belongs to everyone who ever lit a match to see how much gas was in the tank.
He belongs to everyone who ever watched "Jackass" and said "Hey, that looks like fun!"
He is the summit of our stupidity, the perigee to our apogee, the hashbrowns to our underwear.
He is... The Moran Guy.
(I think I remember reading somewhere that he finally made himself known, and was planning on suing everyone who made fun of him. Yeah, good luck what that. Moran.)

Though the mans identity is unknown, the photo was taken on March 23rd, 2003 outside of St. Louis, Missouri.[1] On that day, approximately 350 pro-peace activists got together with civilian weapons inspectors at the Boeing missile factory, asking to investigate the weapons of mass destruction being produced there. When they were denied access, the protestors sat in front of the main gate in protest. Approximately 75 pro-war supporters came to the factory with signs discouraging the sit-in. One of these supporters held the Get a Brain Morans sign. The photo was initially shared on the St. Louis Indymedia Center[2] in 2003.

Probably should run a search for "morans" on DU from late March 2003 to find the first posting.
