whoa, fancy

whoa, fancy looking.....

but will there be stand-up

but will there be stand-up anarchy?

anarchist stand-up comedy: a

anarchist stand-up comedy: a platformist lecture on anarchy

guaranteed unintentional comedic gold

Boring and predictable.

Boring and predictable. Well, here at least

captcha was "subvert want". Cool. Random words are more entertaining and surprising than anarchist news comments!

god i hope the stand up

god i hope the stand up comedy is just zingers like that that take the piss out of everyone so we can all have a good laugh.
nice start!

(Spoken in true Seinfeld

(Spoken in true Seinfeld style)
So I went to this protest the other day, and people had their signs, their banners, their masks, ya know, the whole shabang, and I noticed this guy who had clown make-up on and he was playing an accordion, and so I thought to myself, is THIS supposed to make me to want change our material conditions?
Some guy with an accordion and clown make-up on? Does that somehow signify an attempt for permanent conflict with state & capital?
I mean, what's up with these people?

seinfeld: Bozo the Clown. Do

seinfeld:
Bozo the Clown. Do we really need "the Clown"? Are we going to confuse him with Bozo the Tax Attorney? Bozo the Pope?

c'mon, drop the tech act!

c'mon, drop the tech act!

8days site, not so good.

8days site, not so good.

want to complain? then build

want to complain? then build the site for next year joker

this sounds a lot like "so

this sounds a lot like "so what are you doing, you criticizers of our ultra rad street smashing actions". criticism doesn't require making something different right?

the site is slow for us non-highspeed-access people. this is typically unimportant for web developers these days as they ply their trade to the super-connected cult. since most sites associated with the bay area folks are simple, readable, and even work for geezer machines, i'm surprised - and not so pleasantly so. this design is a departure best not taken. or at least you could add a link that appears right away for a low graphics version. as to whether the satire works, i'll have to leave to others who can see what's on the pages.

just my feedback, criticism - don't want to do build the site for next year, thanks though.

-ow

feedback other than "site

feedback other than "site not so good" is more helpful. so more explicit version is good.

i myself don't like the ubertech associations of this year's attempt, but since it's a learning experience this time around, patience is appropriate.

as much as i hate patience. :)

Is this bought out by Apple?

What the fuck? when did we become corporate funded? I hope its a joke, be nice to smash some of those things.

Anarchists are on the

Anarchists are on the Corporate payroll wheather you are getting the money or not.

The media you are getting is turning the world to support the Corporations. >

I hope you are happy about this. I would be happy to see your guts on the ground because of the damage you have done.

wait a second. hold on

wait a second. hold on here.
are you saying...
are you telling me.....
wait, wait......
wait, you're saying **THE MEDIA** are turning the world to support the Corporations?
wow, that's CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCrazy.
all this time they were supporting anarchism, freedom, and justice, and now they are supporting corporations, just because of Anarchists who are on the Corporate payroll, who may or may not actually be getting paid anything.

wow. that is really shocking.
thanks man in tinfoil hat and jock strap with urine on his pants.
thank you ***so*** much.

SPREAD THE WORD!!!!!!!!!

yeah 8 days of anarchy.

yeah 8 days of anarchy. except it seems like 3 of these events take place on March 12th. that can't be right.

thanks for fixing the dates, worker, you rock!

This looks so good.

This looks so good.

I see that some of this is

I see that some of this is going to happen at Noisebridge. My experience was that NB is a negative space where any kind of energy can fly. Noisebridge even has a bad reputation with the other collectives in the area. You couldn't pay me enough money to go in there.
