OPERATION TOP SPIN BLITZ ! What day?
Edited on Sat Sep-25-04 09:27 AM by vetwife
Maybe we should all go down to the local dollar store and send CNN and the rest of the media a spinning top, the kind we had as kids. You know the small spinning ones you pump up and it spins? We need to send it with a note that says, "When you get tired of spinning for King George, here is something else to spin ! We are FED UP !
Can you imagine hundred and thousands of spinning tops arriving to them?

3. I like this idea
At some of the party stores, you can buy plastic tops for about a quarter.

10. How 'bout "OPERATION FLATULENCE" ....
We can go buy those little cups of goo that you stick your finger in to make disgusting "breaking wind" noises and send them to all the media outlets with a message like

" A foul wind blows through the Fourth Estate when George and Karl seal TRUTH's fate".....

Or something corny like that :)

14. So, what's the plan for this?
Are we going to try and hit all the media outlets, or just CNN? Someone on another thread suggested targeting CNN with the emails and tops, but contacting the other media outlets to let them know we were targeting CNN, hoping to get the other outlets to report on what happened to CNN.

17. CNN it is. They deserve our wrath.
Not much journalism. Mostly editorializing. Hard to believe Frank Rich thinks CNN is our version of Fox. :eyes:

:wtf: is he smoking?
