When everything else fails, you have to send out the furries.

I'm getting the strangest sense of deja vu... do the posts today seem like the same old Malibu Stacy, but this time she's got a hat?

Nell Carter's looking good these days.

thats like every acid trip Ive ever had.

@shortsshortsshorts: ahahahaha... win.

Nothing says conflict resolution like incoherent, hysterical leftist Rap-Rock.

The hell? Did I just have a stoke?

I smell almonds.

I have to ask, what does a polar bear have to do with this protest?

Did you rip footage from The High Tide?

and they wonder why no one pays attention...

LOL, too bad its raining now. Its totally a sign that those hippies needed to take a shower.

Are you sure it's the war their protesting and not the lack of readily available sports-mascot costumes for every American?

Imagine being one of the undercover FBI agents who has to go to these things, and now you get rained on, too? Those guys must be hating life right about now.

It's about time for the gigolos of GHOPAC to trolley out the 'Boffathon for Peace'.

yes, but was Malkin there in her cheerleader outfit?

@Tracy Ham and Eggs: aww.. that's kinda sad. My acid trips were way more fun. Even the scary ones.

I was going to college a few years ago, and some kids set up a "Peace Camp" or somesuch. Like this, probably, living in tents and hanging out but in haze of moral superiority. I thought it was a stupid idea then, too.

I get the whole 60s/yippie thing, trying to use fun and chemicals and anarchy to fight against the big life-crushing machinery of the world; I even get the whole being-a-bum-as-ideological-statement thing, but man... this is not then.

Maybe this: you want to party, you want to end the war, okay. Throw a party. Charge a minimal amount for booze & bong rips. (Maybe get it donated.) Give the proceeds to some organization that might actually be able to do something. Or something!

In the 60s, a big part of the struggle was gaining visibility, wasn't it? I don't think that's the issue now; most Americans are unhappy about the war, there're lotsa people talking about it even in the mainstream news. At the beginning, protests might have been useful, and there were some big ones, but they were mostly dismissed and ignored anyway.

I dunno.

This is not a protest. This is some kind of attempt at re-creating woodstock at McPherson Square, and only 4 people showed up.

I hope the park police put them in jail for playing music without a performance license or some such technicality.

Can someone please explain the polar bear? Are they protesting a war in the Arctic Circle? Has Knut come out against the war?

Wonkette! You were seconds away between a sex collision between that guy and the black woman! :-0 I sooooo wanted to see that!

"police put them in jail for playing music without a performance license"

Rock and Roll - or what a bunch of Canadian Expats called Rock and Roll - killed Communisim.

I'm not sure whose dancing is more atrocious...the polar bear or the daddy bear with the beard and beer belly.

Polar bear has all the poseur wankster moves down, but daddy bear is better at "walk dancing" his way over to the chicka-chickas.

Hi-larious!

The bassist is also fucking up the "Bulls on Parade" riff. And that riff is super easy. I expect more from my dumbass cover bands.

Wow, that might be the worst rendition of "Bulls on Parade" I've ever heard. And dirty hippies dancing to Rage Against the Machine? I thought only 13-year-old boys who were mad at their mommies listened to them.

Actually, it looked like the bear was trying to pinch a loaf..

Might as well keep the huge tent up in the park- the homeless guys they kicked out of the square for the day will love it there.

@morepunkthanyou: damn...it WAS a thirteen year old boy mad at his mommie who brought Rage Against the Machine to our house....

must admit the next phase, Wu Tang to Hieroglyphics/Del/Souls of Mischief to Atmosphere/Rhymesayers to Sage Francis.... has been a little more melodic.

With friends like these

Aaaand this is why "liberal" is now a dirty word. thx.
