Seven things wrong with this image:
1. A girl’s first kiss should be on her wedding day.
2. The girl is embarrassing the boy by kissing him in public.
3. The boy is playing football. Ball games are for little children.
4. The boy and girl go to the same school. Coeducation is asinine.
5. The boy’s hair is short. Boys should grow their hair long, then cut it at age eighteen to sacrifice to Apollo.
6. They are wearing purple. Purple is a color reserved for royalty.
7. The boy’s number is 81. 81 is a historically gay number.
“American gothic” is a euphemism for “American decadent.”
