The Message of the Day from BoingBoing and its ilk:

It's not fair to punish those who were caught engaging in "guerilla marketing" (which I guess is now synonymous with "postering") unless they're putting up ads for something We Don't Like. Then it's okay. Take 'em away, Officer, we'll handle the lollin' from here!

Mmm, this cup of coffee tastes amazingly rich and full-bodied today. Must be the extra spoonful of self-righteousness I stirred in.

since when is taping a poster to a lamppost "guerilla marketing?"

I guess all those kids in Allston better be lookin' out then.

Since we've begun to live in a Post-1/31 World.

That spoonful of self-righteousness needed to be briskly stirred with indignation, too.

I stopped reading BoingBoing once the filters at work decided it was Not Work-Related. After about a day I realized I didn't miss it, and if I really need a fix there's always the numerical rankings of corysucks.com.

(Though I note with some sadness that both corysucks and xenisucks have gone dormant.)

I also recommend adding two lumps of Disdain and a pinch of Contempt to taste.

xenisucks really doesn't need to be updated; all you need to remember is that Sex Is Good and People Enjoy Having Sex and Different People Do Different Naughty Things When They Enjoy Their Sex Tee Hee. Oh, and something about how making television appearances is good, too.

Yeah, there's really only so many times where you can say OMG THE SEX and "here's an article I didn't read" before you start to repeat yourself.

You made me snort pea soup.

thank you for having a Barth icon.

[pushupstairs.livejournal.com]

I do that every morning in the shower during the winter.

[pushupstairs.livejournal.com]

wow.

now "Post-1/31 World" and "fuck you is why they're at half mast" are in a heated battle for Best Thing I Have Heard Today, And, In Fact, All Week.

[spatch]

I think "fuck you is why they're at half mast" gets the edge solely because it was the first response to the OP. It was a quick comedy karate chop, and it made me laugh like hell too.

[spatch]

You're welcome for having a Barth icon!

Did you see my Halloween costume last year?

[pushupstairs.livejournal.com]

not until now. that rules.

I'm all for guerilla marketing if the guerilla in question is named Grodd and the concept being marketed is the chance to let apes rule us all.
