it's not how strong it is, it's what you do with that counts. Anarchist school, module 6, lesson 4.

Tis true, Irish mammys frighten their children to sleep with talk of the wombles, and the kids on my estate were still asking were we wombles a year later.
By the way, have you all seen this video which was produced by Irish Indymedia in the run up to May Day, talking the piss out of the press. 'Tis funny.

(the bloke talking about the Wombles is the Irish Minister for Justice - high profile attention indeed)

That videos actually quite sinister tbh. Anyone else think that? I mean yeah we know 'the wombles' is maybe 50 people etc etc. But if you just had that video to go on it seems more like your aggrandising the wombles more than anything, esp. by putting pics of womble toys with bombs.
Why ot tho? I liked it.
You really think so? Would anyone really take it seriously, and go, oh no, woolly toys with weapons, run! hide! I thought it took the piss of the meeja hype very well. And I dont think my sense of humour is *that* different from most peoples. I mean, if people "get" Brass Eye, I don't think they'd have a problem 'getting' the vid.
[As it was the press went crazy saying it was proof that we were planning a riot (dangerous video circulated on dangerous internet type stuff)- but I think that was more them cynically creating a story than any genuine fear on their part.]

nah it was spot on. i think you have to watch the original prime time piece to give it a bit of context; the absurdity of what was being suggested with the reality of what was being planned. Funny as fuck. Still makes me smile. Nice one.

both; i found it sinister in a good, moody, mysterious and slightly threatening way; and acknowledged that what i liked about it would definitely worry others. Cos i actually went to dublin for this, so i'm not exactly ur general viewer of irish telly.sovietpop said:no worries, one man's Benny Hill is another woman's Johathan Swift.
but out of curiousity, did you find it a bit sinister? or did you think that other people might find it sinister?

yeh, i can remember it happening - it was just after the cw international conference - but i don't recall anyone getting much more than a slap on the wrist for it.sihhi said:
