I think someone should make some Neda masks

[Duer 157099]

Of her living face, that is, and somehow get them to the Iranian people who want to protest but don't want their faces seen.

I'm thinking of the scene from V for Vendetta!

1. Who is Neda?

3. If you google the name Neda you will get thousands of hits.

And it will save you time in trying to understand how she's suddenly a martyr to all freedom loving people on the planet. You'll also get a crash course in how twitter has been used to show the revolution in Iran in progress. It's now probably the most watched revolution ever. That includes watching Tiennemen Square,

She was killed and it just happened to be filmed on someone's cell phone and suddenly she's the face of war.

2. Neda

Neda						Novicky 6/21/09

I hope her death was not in vain
Those last few breaths of anguished pain
This fight against theocracy
Politics, incompetency
Go to sleep my lovely child
Let God protect you for the while
Your voice is heard throughout world
Freedom from a dying girl

[Lancer]

4. Her name means "the calling"

Welcome to DU!

[arcadian]

5. Good idea!

Get right on it. I think an investment of $50,000 should be a good start. Let us know how it's going in a week and you have a warehouse full of masks and people are asking you "Who the hell is that?"

:rofl:

What an ultra maroon. :rofl:

6. Yeah, except nowhere did I mention money

or anything along the lines your mind seems to go.

[Posteritatis]

7. Okay, that takes the tastelessness award for the day (nt)

[Oregone]

8. ug.

Maybe you can sell them too

9. Remember yesterday when i said that a movement first goes to shit when people start rallying around

a single person instead of the cause?

I stand by that. This is a stupid idea.

[BlooInBloo]

10. Yah - Just like the Civil Rights movement jumped the shark, rallying around the 3 little girls...

Thanks for trying to make sure there's no repeat of THAT debacle.

[Joe the Revelator]

11. There is a large difference between that and a strange death cult of personality that some

are beginning to assign to Neda.
