The Federal Government Discovers Skateboarding
This is just weird… the State Department just posted up a poorly crafted article about skateboarding here… I mean, the article isn’t anti-skating or anything, it’s just a really horrible read, partially because it sounds like they just found out what skateboarding is. Then again, considering our government’s track record, maybe they did just find out about our crazy little board-skates. Yeesh.
