Attention pretty white DU women: How you can stick it to CNN, FOX, MSNBC
Would any intrepid lady DUers like to do a great service to your country by making the country aware of how fucked the fucking media is now?

You can FAKE your disappearance, let the media cover it to their heart's content, let your fiance or whoever provide lots of pretty pictures of you to CNN and FOX when you go "missing."

Then when you show up, get before the microphones and recite HOWARD BEALE'S NETWORK SPEECH followed by reciting the names of ALL THE DEAD SOLDIERS IN IRAQ.

Open your speech "Before I tell you about my ordeal I'd like to say a few words to you fucking media FUCKS."

No law would be broken and you can finally stick it to the Repuke loving media fucks.

4. what charges?
Nervous brides and grooms get cold feet and fail to show up for their weddings every single day. You are allowed to call your boyfriend and tell him a fib on the phone. If the boyfriend and the local police are too stupid to figure that out, how should that be her problem?

99.9 percent of the time when an adult disappears, the media and the police refuse to do anything. I once disappeared for some time. I was young (late teens), white, and blonde. If you think disappearing is the short path to media attention, I can assure you that you are wrong. I do not know why the police even allowed the family to file a police report. Most of the time they tell you it is not a police matter and you must hire your own private investigator unless you have solid evidence of a crime. Good Lord. Actual teens, much less adults, take off every day, and the police and media do nothing.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.
--John Mitchell, US Attorney General 1969-72

5. For making false statements, etc., but not for disappearing, which was...
...completely legal. This idea could actually work, I think.

2. Well, I'd give it a try, but I'm not real young. Nor am I especially
pretty. And I'm definitely not rich! But I would love to see someone do it!

9. yeah this occured to me a bit ago
and didn't post/hijack a thread on it...

you'd need about 1000 volunteers, across the country, and calling into small news orgs first, leading up to larger groups.
Have enough similarities in the story to keep the MSM confused and running with it as details came in and culminate with as many possible 'beales' reciting at the same time (in case CNNMSNBCABCCBSFAUX jerked the plug, smaller news orgs would still be airing it).

but yeah, it could work. Blowback big time.

17. OMG, I love the OP's idea
and your take on it! If only I had the courage to actually go through with it, lol. Of course, I don't think I'd be considered pretty enough and I'm probably too old for the MSM, anyway. But maybe there are other, prettier, younger gals who'd give it a go? :evilgrin:

14. gee, do you think they'd fall for it a second time?
on second thought -- of course they would. Anything that let's them get away with avoiding the real news.

19. Very creative...
Edited on Mon May-02-05 09:59 PM by sendero
... but it won't work. You won't be on live TV and all of the good stuff will be on the "cutting room floor".

But seriously, we NEED to come up with some creative ways to get our message out. It seems our "leaders" are AWOL and cannot wriggle out of their pink tutus long enough to say anything real.

20. Just fail to show up for work. Let your co workers report it
Then the husband or fiance or whatever won't have to file a false report. Let speculation run wild. Let Nancy Grace have nitely orgasms on the air over it.
