Putting humorists out of business since 1821. Sometimes, parody writes itself:
"By knitting you are resisting capitalism and consumerism....[Knitting] seemed almost as transgressive as breastfeeding in public 20 years ago...Once a devalued craft, knitting is now taking on capitalism, consumerism and war...a knitted willy with realistic head and veins....Knit your own purse grenade"
Where else but the Guardian?

Whoa. .. I thought knitting was sublimated masturbation. Oops! I have my calendar mixed up: Freudian Day was yesterday. Today is Arbitrary Folksy Activity As Anti-Capitalism Symbol Day. How could I forget.

Not just anti-capitalist, but transgressively anti-capitalist. Can't beat that.
