World's best dressed protesters

[DoYouEverWonder]

Goes to our friends in South Korea.





I guess they don't want anyone to accuse them of being dirty commies?

1. I go to protests dressed very nicely.

I love to confuse the stereotype-loving right wingers. I look very business-like and professional.

3. Way back in the early 1970's

my Dad used to wear a suit and tie to march in protest against the war in Vietnam.

8. Rock on.

That's the way to do it, if that's what you're up for.

I already LOOK pretty conservative (only look it, that's as far as it goes), so it's pretty easy for me.

2. Awesome!

Not exactly scruffy anarchist types, are they?

See how * brings all kinds of people together for a good cause?

[shance]

4. Always dress your best for every protest.

Not a bad mantra to live by.

It is a special occasion, after all.

6. I think it might be a good theme for one against the Monkey, frankly

A "dress like you are going to church" protest. Everyone wearing their best, like they are wedding guests, or attending a state funeral.

I think it would grab media attention LIKE MAD, and it would discombobulate the hell out of the administration. White shirts and ties for miles...smart dresses, skirts, suits, polished shoes, formal overcoats. Office workers at the boss's funeral...

Remember how the Monkey, in his snarky way, noted that HE would never wear jeans in the Oval Office (he solved that problem by spending most of his time at the Pig Farm or Camp David) and averred that the scruffy types who worked 20 hour days in the Clinton administration were somehow ineffective because of their CLOTHING.

Well, we might want to dress up and throw him out. It IS, indeed, a special occasion!!!!!

7. Exactly.

Kind of hard for them to dismiss professionals.

After all, they ARE classists.

[Bouncy Ball]

11. And some of us ARE professionals! LOL!

12. True. Maybe most, even.

But they always seem to catch the wild ones on camera.

Even veterans no longer tug on the heartstrings of most middle Americans.

Money moves them.

They might start to sweat a little if they saw large gatherings of what could be their co-yuppies out there in the street.

9. Oh I've always thought that would be awesome.

I've been to two protests where I was extra extra dressed up. Business suit and heels (the heels were a pain in the ass, but worth it), very nicely done hair and makeup, nice but understated jewelry, and then a nice-looking sign that DOESN'T MINCE WORDS.

Hee hee.

It would look like a bunch of bankers were protesting!

Plus it blows away some stereotypes.

14. Nixon was done for when the farmer's wife in her Sunday best,

accompanied by her husband in suit and suspenders, fell in alongside the vets in bits of uniform and those "dirty hippies."

15. You got it.

If they saw their "equals" out there, they might actually sit up and start to worry about their bank accounts.

I hate thinking like them.

5. Better yet, wear military fatigues.

They won't know if you're for real or not.

13. 1971 I wore my Navy uniform at a Vietnam anti war protest in DC

10. Anyone read Korean?

What do the signs say?

16. I saw a translation here last night, via Babelfish

It was a little convoluted, but suffice it to say they do not like the Monkey.
