Couple Wearing "Impeach Bush" t Shirts First Through The Door On Black Friday

From Crooks & Liars:

I was watching MSNBC this morning and during a segment on the Black Friday shopping frenzy and the throngs of people waiting in line to get into a New Jersey mall, when something caught my eye. I rewound the video and sure enough, the first two people through the door were wearing protest shirts — “Impeach Bush” and “Out Of Iraq”.

I don’t know who these brave souls are, but I thought I’d thank them for waiting in line to get the chance to make their statement and give them props for getting the holidays off to a great start and trying to spread some good will. We can only hope security didn’t tackle, tase or beat them…

*Update: They made it on CNN later in the morning!

:thumbsup:

they could be followed by security.

Bush is a representation of our hollow "commercial" society. "I shop to make me feel better about myself".

Hate Bush? Stay at home and spend less.

But I do salute the couple.

Impeach Bush!!!!!!

Well done.

We need more people like them.

They don't exactly look like m$$hoppers, do they!

Rec-o-mmended!

They took advantage of an inane media frenzy and wonderfully subverted it. Well done!

I also have a hat.



It's about spreading a message. Whatever it takes. :)

That was beautiful. We had a thread on it this morning.

That's the way to do it!

:toast:

individuals were mentioned? Like, "the first two shoppers through the door were wearing..." or did they not notice?

Damn! What a wonderful idea! We need more of this!

Remember those guys? They were in every camera shot at ball games etc for years.
And good for those two! I hope they got some 10$ iPods or whatever it was the retailers were hawking yesterday.

All I could think was that I guess even liberal activists like to shop; then I realized that this was activism. They got their pictures on the teevee!
