I think you all read too much into the last sentence (or the
word "weird") than to read it as part of the whole story in a
contextual manner. Let's not forget that "weird" comes with
"perks". If they wanted to go all the way, I think it'll end with
"What a weird hobby."
I cannot disagree with that.
Ultimately I too, cannot tell people to think the way I did over
the last sentence.
As to whether it is trivial or not, that, only time will
tell.
Personally, I don't think it's a helpful statement, people are
easily cajoled by words, remember the incident about how some
people had a uproar when they read about how a girl "depends on her
parents" and "spends a lot"?
I cannot remember the exact phrasings, but the poor girl
complained that she was misquoted and stuff like that. Such is the
power over the choice of words.
It cannot be taken lightly. Neither can it be read too deeply.
Thus I wasn't too upset over it, but I could more or less confirm
that people are still uncomfortable with the notion of "bus
fanatics" (as the article states).
