Free Tibet. It's the cool thing to do. right?

Is it just me or has the whole Free Tibet cause turned into a trend? To the point where I feel no shame in saying that I'm bored with this hippy trend and want it to end? I know it sounds terrible to say, but does this have any relevance with anyone anymore? I mean seriously. This has become a cause for 18 year olds who have just entered college and feel the need to protest something because they started listening to records from the 60's or found out the Beastie Boys do a concert for it. Personally, I think people just want to buy the bumper stickers so when they drive around town they can try to make people think they're all worldly and "helping to change it." Which in reality they're probably NOT thinking about that and are more concerned about what's going on in one of those CW shows and just like wearing the hippyish type clothing because it makes them look more alternative and non-conformists (Yeah Jeff Evans. I'm talking to you!). I really just want to pull these people over and tell them they're the reason no one thinks about this cause anymore and they're a douche who puts bumper stickers on their car. I've already vented on my hatred of bumper stickers, so no need to relive that. To conclude, hippies are dirty smelly people that no one likes.  Sorry Flower Children.
