Racist Bugs

Someone posted this on myspace and I almost punched the computer where his face was. I can not believe how disgusting this is. First of all, it completely ignores the fact that if we're really trying to apply this to human Americans, the grasshopper does not dance and sing and play all summer as is alleged, he is struggling to work but can not because of the racist, pro-ant society. The only reason the ant can collect all that good stuff is because he has the key to the resources.....
This is so racist even down to the last sentence........ugh.
