Virtual idiots to fake march on Washington

[muriel_volestrangler]

The excellent TBogg says:

On April fifteenth, hundreds of thousands of Sedentary-Americans are set to not-march on Washington DC in order to protest the unfair taxation that was recently enacted and then shoved down their throats by that colored fellow in the White House:
...
And, outside of a massive turnout of voters voting for change, what sends a more compelling message to the fat cats in Washington that people are mad as hell and they’re not gonna take it anymore (and “by not take it anymore”, they mean that they will pick out an awesome Button Gwinnett or a unrepresentative slim small-busted woman avatar to express their online disgust) than joining an online movement? Nothing, that’s what.

How easy is it to join this Great American Movement without actually having to move from your couch where you spend your days masturbating to feisty spitfire Megyn Kelly on Fox when you’re not shoveling fistfuls of peanut butter pretzels into your gaping maw with your sausage-like fingers? Well, it’s as easy as typing your name and email address into some boxes, pausing to catch your breath from the exertion, and then hitting ’send‘. Just like the Founding Fathers did… but with computers!

And as well as those avatars, the 'team' names have to be seen to be believed (the drop-down list in step 3 - don't worry, you can see it without filling anything in). One of them is even 'Wolverines'! :rofl:

1. Pathetic

It says

"210,841 patriots are now marching with you to Washington, DC for our Tax Day, April 15, 2010 online rally!"

So I take it, they are gonna take the number of online registrations and total ACTUAL participants so they can come up with something like "250,000 attended"

2. I object to the term

"virtual idiots"- nothing "virtual" about it, they are the real thing :rofl:

4. Meh - we don't pretend we're 'marching on Washington'

We're a discussion forum, and we discuss.
