Safe Mode: On
1941 New Orleans Mardi Gras In Color

The men wore suits. The ladies wore dresses. And there is an incredible lack of half naked drunks vomiting and pissing on the sidewalks. When did society stop caring about decency and decorum?

  • This was before the savages took over New Orleans by breeding like rabbits and sucking the life out of that once great city.

  • Wish I could answer that. Probably around the same time people didn't know the name of their neighbors unless they accidentally received one of their letters in the mail. We recently tried to have a block party, to actually get to know who's living around us. Well amongst the food people brought were some pork ribs, which enraged one of our muslim neighbors damn near to the point of fighting. Guess that'll never happen again. What the hell happened?

  • A little fun fact for the LiveLeakers:

    Mardi Gras is actually a religous holliday. Ash Wednesday (the day after Mardi Gras) is the first day of the Catholic lent season. Mardi Gras is like the last hurrah before the season starts. It's like a last chance to go nuts before becoming a good Christian again. It's mostly tourist that bring the serious debauchery.
    You gotta love NOLA for this one reason: Where else in this great country can you get America's sisters, daughters, and moms to trade More..

  • Back when virtually all Americans aspired to be something better than they were. Nowadays it's all just "Show us your tits!!!"
