Hello Kitty Slut Riot!

[jack_babalon]

So i'm sure a lot of you guys have read about how some Thai Police officers have to wear pink Hello Kitty armbands as a reprimand for their poor public behavior. Well as much as i'd like to see that happen here (cut to a naked Harvey Keitel screaming at Jesus in the Bad Lieutenant with only his Kitty Cutestapo armband on... yeah that'll haunt your dreams tonight).. never the less i'm still going to have to ask this one question.

Why should we let the pigs have all the fun?

Imagine an anti-WTO riot where everyone wore Hello Kitty Bandit Masks like the ones below? I just love the subversive poetry of it, turning a ubiqitious corporate mascot into a mask for the discontent. By 'hacking' into their Sigil Brands one can commit an act of both artistic appropiation as well as catharctic violence directed against our corporate masters.

But why stop there? Picture a mob of disenfranchised fast food employees, each and everyone of them dressed up as Ronald McDonald storming into your local Mickey D's. Screaming "Free Fake Food For the Poor", smashing out the windows, emptying the cash registers out into the streets, tearing out the tables, the seats, the soda machines, hijacking cars that pass through the drive through, some copulating openly out on the slides of the childrens play center, some writing death threats to upper management with ketchup on the walls and finally when the law is called in they'll be forced to commit violence against the beloved burger clown they've been indoctrinated into loving since they were children.

Cop: "I just tear gassed Ronald McDonald... it's just ... it's not right!"

Cop: "That's nothing... I just put a bullet in the Grimaces head!"

Thousands burn down Disney Land while dressed up as Mickey Mouse. Armed thugs with Nike Swooshes painted on their faces kidnap sportshoe CEOs and force them to work in sweatshop conditions at an undisclosed location. Roving packs of Joe Camels vandalize 7-11's and Quicktrips across the nation.

If the marketing departments of the world are turning every form of rebellion into a commodity then the next step is to wage a class war disguised as a commercial!

Just a thought really.

Free food for the POOR!

Love that film, especially when John Cusack tells the guys to order more food at the diner: "Hell... that ain't enough for no swashbuckler!"

The movie reminds me of my late uncle actually. He was a biker and had gone on his own cross country trek on his Harley.

Yeah the king ad rock"(which is still fun to say) certainly was annoying, but I thought that played well against John Doe's character.
