1. I have been waering an orange scarve since

oh Nov 5th, some people connect the dots, most don't

2. LOL... my alma mater's colors are orange and white

Tennessee MAY be a red state, but we have Triad machines, so who knows? I know the city of Knoxville went blue, even if the county of Knox went red. :)

If it helps any, UT is kicking Texas A&M's ass in the Cotton Bowl (35 to 0), so maybe 2005 IS the "orange" year.

Seriously, if anyone needs tons of orange to wear - I've got it. ;)

3. Do you know what the orange floppy hats say?

I can't make it out, but the last word looks like won? Thanks for posting these pics and happy new year!

4. They say "Discover"......

Not that I want you to read anything into that :)
A CCard promotion maybe.

Here's another pic from:

5. Ok, thanks. I see the Discover now.

Not that it's important, but do you know what it says above the Discover logo?

[Wilms]

6. Does it say, "It pays to Discover"?

That's one of their motto's. I say we borrow it.

[BreakForNews]

7. Lol : ))

It says "Happy New Year"

[Wilms]

10. Fine, then. Happy New Year, too!!! We Won!!!! n/t

[Pithy Cherub]

8. Orange the New Black

and it is a highly visible form of protest and discovery! :evilgrin:

[roenyc]

Exactly!!!!

[saracat]

9. But if this is a Discover Card promotion, what is this really saying.?

I think this is a bit misleading. Do any of those people even know what orange represents? Does Master Charge?

[DoYouEverWonder]

11. They do now

and because of this the whole country is finding out what orange really stands for. Viva la revolution.

[Not a Sheep]

12. So we're supposed to ignore the fact that this was a Discover promo....

.... and pretend that all these people were protesting the election?

Doesn't that seem a little ridiculous?

[bemis12]

13. Well yeah

But it hasn't prevented multiple threads for people to pretend in. No harm is being done, let's pretend they are protesting.

[Not a Sheep]

15. Yeah, people do like to pretend. /eom

[txindy]

19. Let's pretend the orange hair was given out, too

And the other orange clothing. That's realistic. :eyes:

[bemis12]

22. I'm not spotting the orange hair.....

except in the Ukraine pictures. If that's your point, you're correct. There wasn't a credit card promotion going on in the Ukraine.

16. The "other" media does this all the time. Why can't we? n/t

[Not a Sheep]

17. I guess I set higher standards for myself. /eom

[BreakForNews]

18. They do this all the time....U Bet..... So we CAN too!

Like the M sign of McDonalds
or the sweeping curve of Nike,

The Orange of Ukraine carries an immediate
implicit message for anybody politically aware.
And that works in media and the street.
It cuts out a lot of explaining.

The reason TAK in Ukraine used this is that
they are not dumb. This it is simple, brilliant
marketing. It works.

Marketing is part of this too.

We could use their momentum by echoing the Orange?

[Not a Sheep]

20. I guess I'm not comfortable being deceptive...(more)

Thanks for being honest about this. I guess I'm just not comfortable going along with it. Afterall, if word spreads that people wore orange in Times Square to protest the election, and then people find out the truth (that it was just a Disocovery Card promo), I tend to think we look stupid.

I guess I would rather have people unify and protest knowlingly and not be used deceptively as pawns.

23. ORANGE - The International Color of Protest

edit to add: for fair elections!

[Carolab]

14. Viktor is looking more human n/t

[glitch]

21. Orange ribbons were popular after the 2000 theft - it symbolised the vote

theft in florida. I like the continuity. And if Discover Card made the mistake of choosing orange as their theme color for the new year, well, I say we work it.
