Makes ya wonder, is the best way to defeat nonsense with even more nonsense?

“White Power!” the Nazi’s shouted, “White Flour?” the clowns yelled back running in circles throwing flour in the air and raising separate letters which spelt “White Flour”.

“White Power!” the Nazi’s angrily shouted once more, “White flowers?” the clowns cheers and threw white flowers in the air and danced about merrily.

“White Power!” the Nazi’s tried once again in a doomed and somewhat funny attempt to clarify their message, “ohhhhhh!” the clowns yelled “Tight Shower!” and held a solar shower in the air and all tried to crowd under to get clean as per the Klan’s directions.

At this point several of the Nazi’s and Klan members began clutching their hearts as if they were about to have a heart attack. Their beady eyes bulged, and the veins in their tiny narrow foreheads beat in rage. One last time they screamed “White Power!”

The clown women thought they finally understood what the Klan was trying to say. “Ohhhhh…” the women clowns said. “Now we understand…”, “WIFE POWER!” they lifted the letters up in the air, grabbed the nearest male clowns and lifted them in their arms and ran about merrily chanting “WIFE POWER! WIFE POWER! WIFE POWER!”

Is LG in there somewhere?

LG was there in spirit, at the very least.

And yes, fighting nonsense with nonsense is very effective.

I heartily approve... but I have to admit that clowns *still* creep me out.

How about clowns gathered in large numbers.




And wearing wedding dresses?



Probably not making it better...

LG would pelt them with mud and pies *nod*

But these guys are now up on my list of Most Respected Groups/People

I didn't realize that this was a few months old (May)...ah well, it's still damn funny.

The way that article is written bothers the hell out of me but it's still cool.

Certainly not in the spirit of journalistic neutrality, to be sure...I would like an accurate representation of the reaction, that'd be cool.

Awesome. LG? It was probably his idea.

Now they're almost as scary as the KKK! :(

Well, not really.

Rarely -- especially in the Bush era -- does news make me laugh like this news! XD

Good job!

Which ones, circus or Nazi?

I've been keeping an eye on them. They seem to be heavily focussed on the west coast of the US and abroad in Europe.

They recently had some fun with immigration protestors. :)

If the opportunity presented itself and I had the time to invest, yes. I'd be there too. In fact I think I'd go so far as to say I would make the time. *nod*

"Alex Linder the founder of VNN and the lead organizer of the rally kicked off events by rushing the clowns in a fit of rage, and was promptly arrested by 4 Knoxville police officers who dropped him to the ground when he resisted and dragged him off past the red shiny shoes of the clowns" :D

Heh, reminds me of the Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army - http://www.clownarmy.org/

I actually saw them here in SF, but since it was SF I didn't think much of it. But quality to be sure, now that i know what they're on about.

Well, I just found clown to be a little less creepy. I still hate them though.

Hail Eris! What a wonderful idea . . . I'm sure there was a discordian mind behind this somewhere. Whoever it was I hereby declare them a saint.

They'd have to work to get a nod in SF. When I lived there, my daughter came for a visit. Her mom warned me--she was gothed out, complete with studded collar, etc. I took her for a walk through the Mission and the Castro the next day, and that evening she was in jeans and a sweatshirt. She couldn't compete. But when she got on the plane a week later, she was back in her costume--weird enough for Mississippi.

I had a roommate like that when I was going to UC Santa Cruz. He actually said, "California hasn't seen the likes of me." I was torn between, "Sure we have, like 15 years ago..." or "we get bus loads of you every day..."

Really, his idea of freaking out people in Santa Cruz was a mohawk, boots and painting his nails black.

Not even close to the mark.

That's one of the single most hilarious things I've ever heard of.

I asked my friend from San Francisco "What would it take to freak your neighbors out?"


His response:
"This is one of them Zen riddles, right?"

Nazis are one thing. Parodying Fred Phelps is a bit more of a challenge.

I mean, here's a few I have trouble finding a sillier version of:

"Fags die, God laughs"
"Thank God for 9/11"
and of course "God hates fags"

Nazis are one thing. Parodying Fred Phelps is a bit more of a challenge.

I mean, here's a few I have trouble finding a sillier version of:

"Fags die, God laughs"

Shout "Nags die, God laughs?" - take Phelps' wife, shoot in head, start laughing

"Thank God for 9/11"

Shout "Thank God for wine, we're loving?" - bring out wine, drink copiously, start indulging in sex

God hates fags

Shout "God fakes bags?" - start sewing fake Gucci bags and sell on world market for half the price of genuine

It's easy if you put some thought into it.

Bloody fantasitc!

Shout "Nags die, God laughs?" - fake Phelps' wife, shoot in head, start laughing

Shout "Thank God for wine, we're loving?" - bring out wine, drink copiously, start indulging in sex

Hehe, all fun and games until Fred decides to run with your version.

1. Fred shoots wife, goes to jail. Discovers joys of recieving anal sex without consent (and thereby without guilt!)

2. Fred gives up the "Vitamin C drinks" for the stronger stuff. In drunken moments, accidentally makes sense, leading people to think he's a regular guy who goes off the rails from time to time.

3. Fred gets rich from bogus merchandise, allowing him to advertise during the Superbowl, and comes into contact with high fashion, possibly leading to him dressing like a modern metrosexual.

Now I ask you ... do we REALLY want Fred on OUR side?

Fred Phelps would love being mocked. He actually responded to the mockery John Stewart and Stephen Colbert threw his way. :)

I really like the picture in this (http://www.knoxnews.com/kns/local_news/article/0,1406,KNS_347_5557548,00.html) related story.
