I'm revolting !

no, this isn't some angsty emo thing about self hate and cutting myself.

I'm actually looking for some suggestions for things to revolt against. Does anyone have a good cause I can put my considerable volume of net shit talk behind ?

Preferably something high profile yet low, common and non denominational. Nothing too high brow. I cant be scaring the dumbfucks and youngers with language they can't understand or concepts even I can't get a handle on and it has to be new. None of that boring old stuff that everyone has been revolting against for centuries but to no avail. If the revolution for that stuff hasn't happened, chances are it probably won't.

It needs to have maximum rebel impact for minimum effort and if i don't have to move away from my computer screen that'd be even better. Trad protesting is too weather dependent, heaven forbid I catch a cold or become heat affected while marching with my trusty placard and what if it clashes with the latest 'all blacks' test ?

Can anyone help a brother out ?

serious replies only !

I'm still waiting for people to stage a full-scale uprising against Dissensus. Pick a mod - let's take xxxx xxxx [edited by John Eden] - try to guess his login password, break into his account and then go mad, deleting threads, unbanning the oppressed members of the forum like HellSD, etc. He's probably got a reggae-related login, like 'BABYLON' or 'BLOODNFIRE' - just keep keying possibilities in til you strike lucky. Woebot's is probably something French. Come on! Let's wreck this joint! They can't turn all of us into meaningless cyphers subdivided by category folders, locking our threads once our voices become too powerful. Up and at 'em!

Or you can protest against sex. That's not been done for a while.

quite popular amongst the yankee xtian youth, that one. Lots of scope, though. How brilliant would an anti-sex pop group be?

Failing that, me and a mate always wanted to do "Rock Againt Entropy".

I was thinking about this. You're right: Non-religiously motivated sex striking is definitely subversive. A feminist told me she wanted "more eroticism and less sexualism" in the public sphere (I think she meant that the prevailing sexualism of our time was some kind of phallocentric capitalist invention that left her and other women cold), I guess that's about the same thing as sex striking (well, the results are pretty similar anyway).

Who are the "yankee xtian youth"? Cool name.

Best thing ever. But that's Daft Punk in a nutshell, isn't it?

No, Guybrush is right, it should be non-religious. Like George Orwell's Anti-Sex Youth League, or something.

K-Punk and Infinite Thought have done some stuff on the over-sexualisation of, uh, stuff. That would be one way to go.

I meant evangelical christian youth in the US. Is the "promise keepers" or something? No sex before marriage and all that. Which is another way to go.

I'm just wondering about something more lyrically overt, I think. I suspect it might end up being much more sexy that way.

Yeah, I want an anti-sex pop group too. <i>AIDS comes to those who deserve it</i> could be a smash Eurodisco hit.

<i>Your virginity is Jesus Christ's gift to you
Cherish it, save it, preserve it
Surrender to lust, it's a trip to the morgue
AIDS comes to those who deserve it</i>


Fuck, I'm so bored today.

Genius! I'll make the beats if anyone wants to do the vocals

How about

<i>Homos, lesbos - mad as bats
Heterosexuals - breed like rats
Labia close-ups, pinks and puces,
Incite this scum to spill their juices!

Burn all porn! World impotence now!
Slay the Playboy bunny sacred cow
Drive all sex drives from the nation
Bring back hanging for masturbation

Children flee the streets in fear
Perverts whisper in their ear</i>

Oh shit, I missed that Panorama thing about the paedo last night.

"True Love Waits" I think was the name of the celibate bible-worriers.


No, Guybrush is right, it should be non-religious. Like George Orwell's Anti-Sex Youth League, or something.

But yeah, much better...

"I have feelings for you
I know you do for me
You know my love is true
But baby can't you see?


chorus:

I don't want to touch
I don't want you in that way
I don't want to touch
Can't we sit and talk today?"


[2nd verse tba - probably rhyming "I always find" and "there's something on your mind"]

spoken word bit in the middle:

"Well we've been hanging out all summer, etc etc"

[chorus]

[last verse along the lins of if that's all you're after then get lost]

[chorus to fade]

I reckon that would be good for the pop-punk number. :cool:

Also probably scope for a song about women covering themselves up / attacking lad's mags etc?

Martin - splendid. I feel that no song of revolution is complete until something (which preferably is an animal, but obviously not a cow) has been labelled a 'sacred cow' and recommended for a damned good slaying.

I watched that Panorama - it was pretty good, but depressing that the cops only seemed to pay any attention to Panorama's phonecalls once they said 'oh, by the way, we're Panorama'. The filming took place in a bail hostel in the next street from the one I used to live on. Neither road was particularly nice.

Yeah, it's True Love Waits alright - here's one of their FAQs

<i>Question:

What about oral sex? Is that OK? How far can I go and still be a member of Stanford True Love Waits?

Answer:

We distinguish between affection, like holding hands, and sexual arousal. In dating, before marriage, affection is wonderful and totally appropriate, but sexual arousal tempts the couple to not wait until marriage. Thus, as a question of wisdom, we say that actions which arouse one or the other person sexually should wait until marriage. Clearly, then, oral sex is out. There is no official position of the group, but a typical dividing line that we personally follow is nothing below the neck.
We'd like to point out though that the tone of the question is not quite right. Consider a married woman who asks, "How far can I go with my handsome secretary and still be faithful to my husband? Can I take him to lunch? Can I give him flowers? Can I kiss him on the cheek? Can I go dancing with him? Can I go to his apartment alone in the evening and have a glass of wine?" Clearly, a married woman who wants to push the limits like this is asking the wrong question from the start. The question should be, how careful should I be with my secretary, whom I find attractive, so as to keep my heart and loving commitment totally for my spouse?</i>

A woman with a <i>male</i>subordinate? Burn these heretics!
