*breaks out crying*

I..i...I didn't understand that article!

Hey look at the # of NCBUY articles approved this morning.

All your links are belong to NCBUY.

That's so true.

Wait...what!?

Oh, such witty pranks have caused me to reconsider my opinions of the WTO! This is much more convincing than reasoned discussion of facts!

/no.

Amen, brother.

YES men say NO
Inspired by John F Kerry

I saw the gold suit at the MassMOCA museum in North Adams, MA over the summer when I was visiting Williams College.

The video is pretty funny. The dude goes up in front of all these Finnish textile industry people with a normal suit on, posing as a WTO representative.

He then takes the business suit off to reveal this gold bodysuit. Everyone applauded. He then talked about how slavery was good, but inefficient. He said that corporations should now enslave people in their native countries by inserting radio transmitters in their heads to control them. Then he inflated the "appendage".

The guy explains that the suit, meant for the leisure of the manager of the future, could "monitor and control" the workers via a video screen on the, uh, "appendage."

The greatest thing was, everyone took him seriously.

no pics!

Pics?

Right on! These guys are funny.

If everyone who believed our culture is basically shaite went out and culture jammed something they hate like these guys are doing, we might have a chance to see real change in our lifetimes.

Or at least that's what my invisible friend, Mongo, tells me.

No. Nothing would change. Mongo is wrong.

Bad Mongo. Now what am I supposed to do with all this Gorilla Glue and acetone? Dammit!

Perfect for the busy executive on the go...

Let's destroy globalisation with slack-jawed improvisational comedy! That's the ticket...

Okay, bit off-topic, but perhaps not, but there is such a thing as being TOO big!

No, what is somewhat convinving is that those guys were actually taken seriously by their audience. Those guys should have been booed off-stage. The fact that they were not is pretty alarming.

Not convincing. Up to the leisure suit part, they said nothing that hasn't been said previously by free-market cheerleaders, so of course the audience didn't respond. I am not a limitless booster of the WTO; I'm firmly of the mind that Free Market Uber Alles is not a panacea for the world's ills. The problem with this type of guerilla education/theatre/stunting is that it does no good.

WTO boosters don't change their minds.
WTO opponents don't change their minds.
The interested, on-the-fence person thinks to him/her/itself: "Gee, these WTO opponents are a bunch of cocks."

Guerilla theater is the absolute worst way to convince reasonably minded people that your ideas are valid and important.

Well then, what about guerilla warfare. Would that be better?

this is really old. movie's been general knowledge for awhile. i don't get the greenlight process.

Most U.N. representatives could care less as they are just happy to be out of the hell-hole countries they come from.

LOLOL protesters are teh funny

i don't get the greenlight process.

there are 2 ways:

1. you submit a really great link with a funny headline, fark may or may not greenlight your link.

2. you give fark money. fark greenlights your link.

as mentioned above, it seems all your link are belong to NCBUY today.

Jon Stewart said it perfectly during the Anti-War protests...this is not word for word.
"Oh Anti-War movement, I want so much for you to have a cogent and defendable position, but when will you learn...."
That was of course with reference to the Rocket-Penis Women singing The Doors.

Except for the US ambassador, that poor bastard.

Pray for him, my children.

That may be, but it's a great way to let people who already hold similar opinions that they're not alone in it.

If you engage in grandstanding for the applause of the like-minded, you are engaging in moralistic onanism. Like more conventional forms of onanism, the practitioner feels gratified, while most onlookers are revulsed.

Guerilla theatre is a little better than trashing Seattle though.

Awesome halloween coustume

kind of early though
