DESCRIPTION:Let’s meet in San Francisco, CA\n\n   Where?\n    Powell street "You 
 can't afford this shit" Protest\n    890 Market St\n    San Francisco, 
 CA\n\n       What's the plan?\n\n    Lets prove that SF isn't just a bunch 
 of capitalistic yuppies.\n\n    all anyone does right now is complain about 
 how terrible the economy is and yet these same people show up weekly to buy 
 useless bullshit they don't need. These philistines need to be reminded 
 that they can't afford what their buying and if they can afford it, that 
 money could probably be used for something better.\n\n    "You can't afford 
 this shit"\n\nSuggested ideas: 
 \nhttp://www.adbusters.org/campaigns/bnd\nMass humming in shopping 
 centers/commercial areas. Probably easier to do monotone if bringing people 
 together for the first time. It’s an old school trick as it is very 
 disruptive and intimidating without harming and without being able to see 
 who is actually making the noise. Alternatively it can be used in an 
 organized way to ‘buzz’ around as a ‘flock’ as with some street 
 theater.\nWe stood outside a McDonald's restaurant with empty bowls 
 representing how many people two beef patties would feed if translated into 
 grain. I believe the number is almost 20. The average is about 7.5 people 
 per ounce of beef. Another stunt we pulled off was putting signs in front 
 of stores that said “I’m locally owned” or “My money goes to 
 __(place)___.” All the local businesses were thrilled.\nHow about 
 attaching our own locks to the doors of big box, national chain stores and 
 major retailers everywhere before they open for Black Friday?\nOrganize 
 groups to walk into bank and loan company headquarters and strip naked. 
 Each of them carrying a sign that says "What more will you take from us, 
 now?" Standing naked before our oppressors reveals their injustice.\nLet's 
 start a stink bomb campaign – get a few hundred of them exploding all 
 over America. Imagine: bad smells inside Bernanke’s Federal Reserve, 
 stink outs on the floor of the NYSE, rotten eggs hidden in the bathrooms of 
 Congress ... gobs of rancid butter rubbed onto the pavement in front of 
 Goldman Sachs. It’s a campaign that could suddenly capture the public 
 imagination and take off.\nZombie Walk\nThe cheerful dead wander around 
 malls, marveling at the blank, comatose expressions on the faces of 
 shoppers. The zombies are happy to be among their own kind, but slightly 
 contemptuous of those who have not yet begun to rot.\nWe’re slapping the 
 “Corporate Crime” poster inside bathroom stalls throughout all stores. 
 That’s the one place where not even mall security can see. “Power 
 through potties” is what I call 
 it.\n\nhttp://www.adbusters.org/campaigns/bnd\n\n\n\n
