Will you buy a black hooded sweatshirt today?

[burythehatchet]

Sign me up.

[grytpype]

1. Huh?

[burythehatchet]

3. If you haven't watched the new Eminem video

please do....over and over again.

[grytpype]

11. OK, I'm a loser, I admit it.

I'm out of touch, over the hill, etc., etc.

[burythehatchet]

13. hey I'm 44

and I realize that our generation has let this country down. If there is a future, it will be because our children decide to rise up.

[SemperEadem]

31. we've turned into our parents

the children of the 60's are more square now than their parents ever were.

when we were young, we could watch Monty Python and laugh at their bawdy humor. If it was airing new today, there would be those in our age group who would boycott, whine and complain about 'the children' seeing that kind of 'filth' on tv, instead of them handling their children and monitoring their viewing habits and not infringing upon my right to view what I want to watch.

[burythehatchet]

32. Interesting times. Monty Python was "risque". SNL was cutting edge.

Shame is a most powerful force. It is the force that controls conservatives. They have the same urges we do, they often do the same things, except under cover of darkness. They are ashamed for feeling those feelings. Their inability to purge them makes them repress them further. This inability to reconcile leads to a need to control others in order to compensate.

50. Is this the right room for an argument?

.
No you didn't.
Yes i did.
No you didn't.
Yes I did.
No you didn't.
Yes I did.
You didn't
Did
Oh look, this isn't an argument.
Yes it is.
This is simple contradiction.
No it isn't.

I love monty python, that they were originated from cambridge
says a lot.

I wish they were still in business, as well as SCTV, the predecessor
to SNL that produced the original artistic impulse.

[burythehatchet]

54. wasn't John Candy part of the SCTV cast?

those were great shows. More recently, Kids in the Hall had a few really good years.

[sweetheart]

56. here's a link for the cast

http://sctv.org/cast.htm

John Candy
Martin short
Rich Moranis
Eugene Levy
...

I always admire the ground cutting trend setters, and these guys
are american heros of another sort... they kept us laughing.

[Javaman]

38. Speak for yourself, I'm 41 and I will never give up!`

I didn't vote for this idiot we have now and I protested when he was appointed. I refuse to go quietly into the night. I'm getting my sweat shirt today!

[burythehatchet]

44. Please don't misunderestimate my comment

I never gave up either, but I feel that we, as a generation, got a little too lost in the corporate jungle and renegged on some our civic responsibilities. Our strength and energy will only go so far, our children will have to fight for the rest.

[Javaman]

57. Once again, speak for yourself.

I gave a damn when I was 18, when I was 28, when I was 38 and now at 41. Take your eye off the ball, and see what we get?
Don't just protest when it's in vogue. Speak out, piss people off, make them think!

[burythehatchet]

60. you might consider reading a bit more carefully before firing off

:toast:

[Javaman]

75. I have and I stand by what I said.

Some of the greatest protesters in our history and in the worlds history didn't begin until late in life. Giving a damn and acting on it, isn't only for the young.
Saying that we got lost in our self interest is your opinion and I respect that, but while you were getting lost (only lumping you in because you state that you are of that generation), I was protesting against Reagen, I was working in the early days of earth first, so I take offense at being lumped in with that self interest, corporate absorbed group. And since that time I have continued to be active in questioning the motives our our elected officials.
Never ever stop questioning.

[burythehatchet]

81. Then I'll say the same exact thing, except more slowly

I - never - gave - up.

I fought with NYPIRG against Indian Point
I worked for John Anderson
I worked for Carter
I worked for Bill Bradley
...and others

We are in the situation that we find ourselves because we failed to prevent it. That does not mean that people did not make an effort, many did. Noone is being asked to stop working for the cause in which they believe.

[ezekiel333]

62. "misunderestimate"?

Could you expound on that a bit more?

[burythehatchet]

63. I'll send my budget man down to talk to you about it

[ezekiel333]

71. Looking forward to it. eom

[Jackpine Radical]

78. Re: your sig line:

I'm not so sure about that.

[burythehatchet]

79. Therefore, you know!

Lets simultaneously crack open a Bordeaux and debate that philosophy.
:toast:

[Jackpine Radical]

77. A famous Bush quote:

"Don't misunderestimate me!"

[ezekiel333]

87. I know.

[nostamj]

4. reference to Eminem's MOSH video?

:shrug:

[burythehatchet]

6. you bet

:)

[Atman]

26. I already own two

My favorite is a black Billabong sweatshirt that just says "bong" on the front.

[catzies]

37. I bought my black hooded sweatshirt at Warped Tour '03.

It's one of Bad Religion's. "Crossbuster" logo.

[ClassWarrior]

5. A reference to the new Eminem video, I think.

An awesome Bush*-basher. See it here:

http://boss.streamos.com/qtime/interscope/eminem/encore/video/mosh-rev/300_mosh-rev.mov

24.

[BigMcLargehuge]

15. very powerful stuff there

gave me goosebumps

[burythehatchet]

17. no kidding Big

I've watched it repeatedly and it made me very emotional. I wish it could be seen by everyone, especially young voters.

[BigMcLargehuge]

18. it's certainly refreshing to see the younger generation getting their

own protest music. If I have to hear "Eve of Destruction" again I might have to hurt someone. It's also refreshing that Eminem's piece is so angry. Harnessing that anger will generate a whole lot of postive energy. I also like the message of the video, his anarchy is voting.

[wildeyed]

68. I was touched, too.

They played the video on MTV this afternoon. I tivoed it. Maybe I will make taped copies for all the youngsters at work.

[burythehatchet]

69. great idea.

what age are the kids you come in contact with?

[wildeyed]

72. I am calling them 'kids', but really they are 18 to mid-twenties.

We have 2 copies of F9/11 that have been making the constant rounds with that group, and it has been really popular. I will ask around, see if they like eminem.

[burythehatchet]

73. I stand by "kids"

I talked three young kids that age in the military to vote for Kerry last weekend. They were home for two weeks and it was amazing how they have been brainwashed.

[wildeyed]

74. excellent!

The kids I come into contact with are more apathetic than brain washed. But I have found if I take the time to talk to them, try to identify the issues that are important to them and then connect that to the political process, they get involved. One is a first time voter, but after F9/11 he has his own Kerry sticker, and last I heard was researching our local non-partisan judges races. :-)

[LynzM]

2. Already own one...

Will probably wear it Nov. 2nd!

[Chiyo-chichi]

7. armies of us marching to the polls in black hooded sweatshirts...

wouldn't that be awesome?

[aeolian]

22. I'm there. (n/t)

[BiggJawn]

8. Can't afford it.

Gas went up 28 Cents yesterday and the rent's coming due....

[burythehatchet]

9. PM me your size and address

one may arrive soon.

[Politicub]

16. Speaking of price increases

Have you noticed how much food and other staples have gone up over the past month or so? Inflation sucks.

[BiggJawn]

27. That's the other side of the equation.

What I used to get at the grocery for $50 now costs $60. and that ain't no Chateaubriand or wild Salmon sitting in the cart, either. So much for healthy eating, now I'll have to go back to eating empty calorie "White Trash" food, just like during the Ray-Gun Era.

Fuel increases, everything increases. even your local sewer bill. It takes electricity to pump that shit through the plant, doesn't it?

Food goes up, because it cost more to run the tractor and combines and trucks and processing equipment and ships that bring your Kiwi's from New Zeddland, and....

And your telephone and cable bills go up simply because they don't wanna feel left out.

[burythehatchet]

30. One thing that's given me a lot of relief on food expenses

is juicing fresh veggies. Lots of good side effects as well. You get a lot more nutritious calories, and the recipes are really good.

[wildeyed]

70. Milk is $4 a gallon.

I have 2 kids and we drink allot of milk.

[SheepyMcSheepster]

10. i have one already

:D

[DemWitch]

12. off to get one now...

and see if I can find the CD...

[Cha]

97. Go Jeff Miller...endorsed by

United Auto Workers and Eliot Spitzer!

A navy blue hoodie will have to do for me..but I'll have the black hoodie Spirit!

[Xenus Sister]

14. I own one, and I'll be wearing it.

This gray-haired grandmother will wear it proudly.

[superblah]

19. I'm getting one today

[burythehatchet]

20. welcome to DU

:toast:

[aeolian]

21. Hell, I'll be wearing mine to the polls on 11-2

[elehhhhna]

23. right. and i'll wear my pants around my thighs, too.

[burythehatchet]

24. and the pants would symbolize........

what?

[aeolian]

25. Ahhh, the Urban stereotype.

just kidding. :) :cheers:

[foo_bar]

28. gives new meaning to the Du Rag

[gpandas]

29. only time i saw or heard m&m...

but i'll be checkin' him out now.

[AngryLizard]

34. I've got one and I'm wearing in on election day

Probably freak out the little suburban church I vote at, too. Oh, well. MOSH!

[seemslikeadream]

33. I have my black hoody

and I'll be wearing it all the time. Everywhere!


Let the president answer a higher anarchy
Strap him with an AK-47, let him go, fight his own war
Let him impress daddy that way
No more blood for oil, we got our own battles to fight on our own soil
No more psychological warfare, to trick us to thinking that we ain't loyal
If we don't serve our own country, we're patronizing a hero
Look in his eyes its all lies
The stars and stripes, they've been swiped, washed out and wiped
And replaced with his own face, Mosh now or die
If I get sniped tonight you know why,
Cause I told you to fight.

[burythehatchet]

42. true...true

seems like seemslikeadream got pretty geeked up by the song as well
:)

[Nlighten1]

35. I got one already...

Love it.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

36. i already have several."Mosh" best damn protest thing since the 1960's!!!!

[sandnsea]

39. I already voted, but...

I'll be wearin' my black hoodie when I make sure every person in line gets to drop off their ballot at my station on Nov 2. I've always loved Eminem, I knew he had a good heart.

[burythehatchet]

43. Yeah I can come out of the Eminem closet now.

I've liked him for a while. I think the "hoodie" will be the official precinct watcher uniform.

[TrogL]

40. gonna borrow one from my kid

[TrogL]

86. Went out and bought one

Something really spooky happened. I didn't want to pay over $20 'cause I'm broke. Found one on for $35 and figured what the heck I'd get it anyway. The cash register rang it in at $19.95. There were no sale signs anywhere.

Telekinesis rocks.

[meow2u3]

41. I just bought my black hoodie

along with a matching pair of sweat pants!
The picture of comfort...

[Lisa0825]

45. You bet!!!

I think we need a "hoodie smilie."

[ghostsofgiants]

46. I have a navy blue hooded sweatshirt.

Is that close enough? Can I be part of the hooded revolution in navy blue?

[LiberalAndProud]

100. You & me kid -- the BLUE hoodies.

[jonnyblitz]

47. it has been a standard "staple" in my wardrobe for awhile.

for the last 10 years at least.

[burythehatchet]

48. throw it on

I'll see you on the march

[chookie]

49. Yup

That video blew me away.

Just yesterday I was decrying how empty of meaning "pop" music is these days and why so few have had ANYTHING to say about these critical times.

Mosh is great.

[sweetheart]

51. I've got a red one

It says "BEVAR CHRISTANIA" on it with 3 yellow circles printed
on the front. (save christania) a danish commune from the 60's in
copenhaagen. I'll wear that one.

[xultar]

52. Wear them to vote 10/2 n/t

[burythehatchet]

53. hey FREEPER

giving us Dems the wrong date to vote

:D:D:D:D:D:D

onedit - I'm trying to be funny:)

[idiosyncratic]

55. I want a John Kerry barn coat instead!

But, alas I cannot afford either one. My car insurance bill went up $80.00 and I have never made a claim nor gotten a ticket.

:cry:

[yankeeinlouisiana]

58. I was thinking about it...

but it's still really hot down here.

[Vox_Reason]

59. Where's a good place to buy a black hoodie?

Let me know...

[ornotna]

96. K- mart

40% off
You can get it for $13 and some change.

[OutsourceBush]

102. getting one tomorrow

[Chovexani]

61. I would if I had money

I hate Eminem and rap in general (I'm into the goth thing myself) but that video was some powerful stuff. I have to give him respect for that.

Too bad I'm broke. I think everyone should wear those sweatshirts when they go vote.

[in_cog_ni_to]

64. Too late to get one today, but

will get one ASAP. I will definitely wear it to vote. I really like the Black Hoodie with DU on the back idea!

[burythehatchet]

66. I think I'll go ask the Admins about it...that and a hoodie smilie

[hiphopnation]

65. No. eom

[burythehatchet]

67. excellent picture

my son, when he was 7 lived in the apartment below those guys in Atl. He used to go up and play video games with them.

[JudyM]

76. Grassroots efforts will rock the vote. Pass to friends: HELPKERRYWIN.com

The Republican machine is about winning by any means in order to line constituents' pockets and advance a horrific backwards agenda. The democratic/independent energy is about service to us, the public. Our only chance is to outnumber them in phone calls, etc. Lots of easy, quick stuff to do (and other important links and humor) are at

www.helpkerrywin.com.

Pass it on to everyone you know who supports Kerry because it's all about word of mouth getting out the vote!

[amazona]

80. unlikely but maybe i can have a doctor's note...

I'm in my 40s and it's going to be 80-plus degrees to boot, so I just think it would look silly instead of making a statement.

[troubleinwinter]

82. I'm old. I can't stand rap. BUTTT..

Thanks to DU, I went to MTV site and voted for them to show the video.

To my taste, I did not care for the music style at all, but the message was important and young people need to see it and get their minds working that they MUST vote NOW for THEIR futures.

[burythehatchet]

93. Great screen name!!!

says it all.

[MadMichDem]

83. I got my black "hoodie" yesterday

Watched the Mosh video at least 4 times yesterday. The little army guy who was sent back to Iraq REALLY got to me!! I'm going to be 48 on November 2nd and I want a new president for my birthday! I'm wearing my "hoodie" (what a funny name for a sweatshirt) every day until Kerry is our new President! :)

[American Tragedy]

84. Where to get one???????
