strange anti-war protest

"Simon Griffiths" | 07.08.2003 09:52 | Anti-militarism

Since American foreign policy *sucks*, how about this for a spot of creative dissent:

Every time you see a dog-poo on the pavement, stick a little American flag in it to protest against the ongoing war. Full-colour printable U.S. flags bearing the slogan "AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY" can be downloaded here.

Simply:

* Cut them out
* Glue them around cocktail sticks (Pritt-Stick or similar works fine)
* Stick them in the poos of your choice (see example photograph
- sorry, slightly blurry due to laughter)

Hey presto! It's quick, it's eye-catching, and it sends a clear message.

If you do not have access to a colour printer, email your full postal address to  poo-flags@end-war.com, and pre-printed flags will be sent to you.

Anyone who emails photos of 5 successfully-flagged poos to  poo-flags@end-war.com will receive a free "WEAPONS OF MASS DISTRACTION" t-shirt.
 
When submitting photos, please state the street name and town where your poo was flagged, to assist in monitoring distribution.

Until then, get poo-flagging, and please email the URL for this website to your friends, or send them this flyer (word document) - press coverage is within reach!

And remember....
 
it's not disgusting, it's revolting!

Great idea but what about having a flag of the unionjack and star and stripes,with regime change ....?or a pic of Blair and Bush having anal sex ,with Blair as the union jack covered poodle gettin butt fucked? by Bush....lET US NOT FORGET that here in "great britain" there are hundreds and thousands of people actively employed right this very moment in the mass free ecomonic spectrum of ARMS DEALING, i.e. lockheed martin......
This is still a great idea ,but lets's not forget the true origin of of all the immense death suffering and complete agony that thousands of "british" people are directly resposible for.....They have families and "mortgages" and survival of the fittest here today toady seems to be the cunning backsliding game,of "third world debt" and "Regime Change".....Or How about a SPOOF TOURIST STALL with union jack flags for sale with home of the arms industry under neath?

Whats sex got to do with it?

07.08.2003 14:01

Bolloxchops sez: 'or a pic of Blair and Bush having anal sex'..why? Is it because at some level you see an elective immorality between war and anal sex? I know the SWP have dropped it but at least *some* of us are still oppossed to silly homophobic remarks like that

hmm..

I don't want to start another flame war (!) but I must repeat that I have yet to see any actual evidence of the SWP or the Socialist Alliance 'dropping' gay rights. In fact I've seen them on Pride marches with (really pretty fierce) pro-equality and anti-homophobia placards in the past few days.

Likewise the alleged 'Peace + Justice Party' has yet to put in an appearance...

I hasten to add I carry no brief for the Trots, but I think it'll be a sad day if IMC adopts tabloid standards of journalism = 'it must be true because someone said so'!

Why is it homophobic

07.08.2003 14:49

Whenever there is a real article posted why is its impact lessened by endless comments accusing the poster of being Homophobic, antiislamic or Fascist or a member of the SWP, BNP or a Trot or whatever?

Surely you can see the difference between being slightly un-PC (as perhaps the anal-sex reference above is, although I fail to see why a refernce to anal sex is homophobic) and being totally wrong, evil and dangerous (as Bush, Blair et al. are). Why not put your energy into attacking the real problems and not those people who are basically on the same side as you but who you perhaps don't totally agree with.

Just a thought.

why is it an attack on gays?

07.08.2003 14:56

Why is the persons joke about blair and bush having anal sex an attack
on homosexuals?
For one homosexuals dont have the monopoly on anal sex
and also it is an attack on the closeness of bliar and bush.

cheery macbeery


Oh oh oo whats Trot got to do with it?

07.08.2003 15:22

Its come to something when even Tina Turner cant express an opinion without being labelled a trot!

Tina Turner


well thankyou

08.08.2003 22:09

I am simply an individual
without labels.....
I note the mass media promotion
of Homosexuality and war all at the same time
Just a thought....
Whilst the international media pulls out
all of the stops
To warn all of us heterosexual people
That to have sex results in AIDS
and that condoms and the pill and IUD.s don't work
And that there is no "safe time"
in which tgo maske love
when
the woman cannot be made pregnant
Mass SUBLIMINAL THOUGHT PROGRAMMING PERHAPS?
The key thing to remember here is that advertising on "telly" works when your concious mind accepts and sees one thing yet your subconcious mind interprets what they want you to do think or buy....
That is why we need to stop viewing "the world" according to the deliberate and false interpretation of others,....
The only reality is love...
And no body is born gay
Each child as proven by scientific fact
cannot be born with any notion of sexuality whatsoever...
Yet we hear them talling us that they are born gay.....
I am not anti anything
my only interest
is Truth
and the murderous arms dealing mind set "out there"
likes to promote the various forms of devisive mind control
and self hatred programs
Like "religion"
and "Gay sex"
But can you notice the subliminal
message of it's "dangerous to be heterosexual"
being chucked around in your subconcious via the Media
I don't give a stuff about being PC
But I am pro all that is natural
and not pro all that the "media"
subliminally trys to program me to
like being PRO GAY ,ANTI SEMITIC or PRO ABORTION
THis is all the subtle art of mass mind control
to get us concerned about shit which is rather irrelevant
when they continue to vicariously destroy
any shred of loving individuality
that we might be
trying to muster
That is why The pope is given billions to destroy people's individuality and any concept
of respect for women such as allowing her to choose whether or not she wants to have an abortion or not....
And that is why the police around the world attack anyone who "protests against war"
And that is why homosexuality is promoted and made to be "natural" or "acceptable"
because it is a sexual deviation....
Nothing wrong in it...
But any kind of deviation or diversionary tactics such as war politics and religion and police violence will be used aginst us to prevent us from Knowing the simple truth that we are LOVE...
And we do not need the violence fin the world and the abuse of freedom
and not the subliminally yet forcefully imposed "freedom" "democracy" or "free thinking"
that they use to control our behaviour...
So now shall we free ourselves
and be in
TRUTH
