What's With the 'JFK Was Here' Banners in Downtown?

The signs were erected in Dallas ahead of the 60th anniversary of Kennedy's slaying, but some aren't so sure about the slogan's effectiveness.

    Lmao holy fuck that is amazingly, comically tasteless. Like sure, it was 60 years ago, but I’m also pretty sure that’s not an element of the city’s history that most current residents are terribly proud of.

      It’s mind-blowing that they’d choose that for the actual article title.

    Maybe “blowback” wasn’t the best word to use

    Do people under 25 years old feel the same way about 9-11 the same way I feel about the JFK/RFK headshots?

    Did he approve this? I’m assuming so, so that means he’s dumber than a doorknob.

      Who is the “he” approving things in this scenario of yours?

        Oh you’re right, I thought it was an ad for JFK Jr, lol. Still not a good look.

            0 for 2, you’re right again. At least you have something to type about? I get the RFK and JFK confused since they were both murdered.

              Well, at least your demands for consent from the dead are funny. We should also get approval from that Kennedy that skied into a tree.

                That was a Bono, not a Kennedy.
