So what would you have them say to get their point across? |
Not sure exactly.. but I am pretty sure that the haircut jibber jabber only made them look like a couple of immature monkeys on television.
I'm not saying that's what it is, but that's how it's going to be viewed, especially if the media twists it the way I'm sure they will.
believe it or not, I doubt the media likes people trying to "" with them. |

Blah blah blah, they're not taking this seriously because it's not a serious issue. Dduurrrr.
edit // mez, I would say they made a pretty bold statement :p |
i would too, but the way they were saying not like they were trying to make a point, but more they were trying to be dicks |

They *were* trying to be irreverent dicks though! That *is* the point!
If they took that awesome opportunity to make their point on national television seriously, it would actually detract from their point that this entire bull affair is something that should NOT be taken seriously.
They are not trying to change the world. They are confirming the pre-existing prejudice that people already hold against the mass media by more or less giving the proverbial "finger" to all of the people who want this to be a serious issue if not for the irrational fear of it all, but for the ratings.
In short, the media wanted them to take it seriously - so they didn't. This is all a case that has been inflamed by the media anyways, so detracting from their power by willfully refusing to cooperate with them might just be their only weapon. |

That may be, but they weren't the same monkeys who were running in fear from a lite-brite. :p |

Well yeah....
I really like the idea of public interventions like this and in my electronics for artists class there was a lot of people working on similar public space projects.
Fun stuff. |
