UPDATE: Armageddon Eve!
8/29/2005
Back in April Novachild wrote about how the Adventists were spreading thier anti-intellectual, end-times propaganda via direct-mailings for strange, anonymous rallies for 'good, Christian families' to attend.
The comments received on that particular post are strangely fulfilling. And inspiring. It's a relief to know that 1/ a few people are actually reading this journal, and that 2/ in a tiny way, we've made a little bit of a difference in the world - something we didn't really set out to do but serendipitously have become inspired by to act in new, spontaneous and courageous ways.
I am fed up with these assholes. I'm going to DO SOMETHING about all the 'lawn sign spam' they leave on every street corner that scream "Armageddon" and "END TIMES."
I'm taking them down.
I'm putting them in my trunk and I'm hauling them to the dumpster in large quantities. I'm going to look into recycling, but because this is Oklahoma I'm not holding out much hope.
These pathetic little signs are going down, man. And I hope that everybody out there who is inspired by this idea does the same thing. And if you do, I would be honored if you let me know about it. With words, with pictures. With kind, warm thoughts. And here is a little graphic that web site owners can copy, upload to their web sites and link back to my post:
Even if it's just one or two signs, it all makes a difference. If sign spam becomes a waste of money because of our actions, then perhaps they will have to find more legitimate ways to spread their hate and fear, thus putting a more recognizable face on those who would rather wish to remain anonymous? In any case, ridding the streets of such sheer stupidity is a noble effort.
