Never Forget...?
Today we're doing "man on the street" interviews, asking people to share their feelings on the upcoming 5th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
First stop: A political rally in Berkeley, CA.
Excuse me, sir - I'd like to ask you a couple of questions about the upcoming anniversary of...
Yes! The anniversary of Katrina!
Actually, I was talking about...
NO. MORE. KATRINAS!
NO. MORE. KATRINAS!
Heck of a job, Brownie!
IMPEACH. BROWNIE. NOW!
IMPEACH. BROWNIE. NOW!
I was going to ask you about the attacks in 2001...
When Bush took office after being selected, not elected, right? That was an attack on the Constitution!
HEY HEY! HO HO! THE CONSTITUTION'S GOT TO GO!
HEY HEY! HO HO! THE CONSTITUTION'S GOT TO GO!
Tell her to stop doing that!
You got a problem with free speech?
FREE. SPEECH. NOW!
FREE. SPEECH. NOW!
No, it's just annoying!
Well, Jefferson once said, Free speech is sometimes annoying, but you shouldn't go around telling people to stop yelling things at a demonstration.
Jefferson never said that!
How do you know he didn't? Were you there?
YOU. WEREN'T. THERE!
YOU. WEREN'T. THERE!
Just forget it, I'll talk to someone else.
Excuse me, how do you feel about the upcoming anniversary of the attacks on 9/11?
What are you, one of those 9/11 whiners?
Whiners? What are you talking about? Our country was attacked by Islamic...
What about all the things Christians have done in the name of religion?
Like what?
Like, uh...like the Crusades?
Yeah, what about the Crusades?
HEY HEY. WHADYA SAY.
WHAT ABOUT. THE CRUSADES.
Stop that!
The Crusades? That happened in the Middle Ages.
It's still a shameful chapter in this country's history!
This country didn't even exist then.
Sure, who cares about people in other countries, right?
Typical conservative!
Don't you feel the least bit silly trying to prove your point by bringing up something that happened hundreds of years ago?
What about the Salem witch trials?
Yeah, that was a witch hunt, just like the Ken Starr investigation.
Hey, I just thought of another one - what about the Ken Starr investigation?
That was nothing but a witch hunt!
What does that have to do with Christians?
So you're saying Ken Starr wasn't a Christian?
I'm not saying...look, no one died because of the Ken Starr investigation.
What about McCarthyism?
That doesn't even make...
Mrrmrrphrrmrr!
What?
MRRMRRPHRRMRR!
I can't understand a word you're...
MRR. MRR. PHRR. MRR!
MRR. MRR. PHRR. MRR!
Stop that!
Ann Coulter started all that McCarthyism crap with her book!
Ann Coulter didn't have anything to do with the McCarthy hearings, and no one died because of them, besides that has nothing to do with...
WHAT DO WE WANT?
MCCARTHYISM!
WHEN DO WE WANT IT?
NOW!
All right, that's enough! You people are idiots, I'm not talking to you any more.
ONE. TWO. THREE. FOUR.
HE WON'T TALK TO YOU ANY...
SHUT UP! I'm out of here!
That guy's got issues.
Mphmmrrmmrrmm.
You said it, man.
UPDATE: Big Oops. Forgot to thank ZombieTime for the pics used in this post.
Brilliant. Sad thing is that it's true.

This is not satire, Bob. This is every Berkeley event I've ever seen.
Oh, and thanks alot. Now I've got the whole "Hey Ho..." rhyming thing in my head and I can't make it stop. It's Jr. Highish, simplistic cadence, rudimentary words, and assertive tone put me in a trance and make me want to rebel. Against the man. Against the machine. Against that damn oppressive regime... AHHH! Make it stop!

Here's a couple of chants for when these people finally enter the job market:
Hey Hey
Ho Ho
Is your order for here?
Or is it to go?
Ho Ho
Hey Hey
Would you like a drink
With your order to-day?

Remember, all those pretty butterfly people were once larve, boring into vegetation like maggots.

Every news station keeps babbling about New Orleans, what about Florida? Didn't they get smacked with 3 or 4 hurricanes last year? Why no coverage of them? Oh wait, people there went back and are trying to rebuild their lives, rather than waiting around for others to do it for them.

The guy with his face covered reminded me of Kenny.
"Oh, my God! They killed Kenny!"
"You bastards!"
