Shut it up, just shut up, shut up
The Scarylibrarian recognizes that it ain't easy living the life of high class and style. As a service to all of man and woman kind, every Tuesday from this point forward (or until I get tired of it) will be known as "SHUT UP AND LISTEN TUESDAY".You'll learn many a way to just do it all better, Scarylibrarian style.
Lesson one: How to piss off Republicans while you are on camera.
Recently (like, today), the Black Assassin (the BA) and I had the opportunity to air our thoughts on the state of the country and our perception of the US military. A woman and her camera crew stopped us on the street to interview us. I guess they needed some brown people who looked like crazy liberals. They probably chose the BA because he was wearing a shirt that said "Free Mumia" and me because I just looked bitchy (in reality, it was a look of hunger, as I was in a must-have-carbs-or-kill kind of mode.) It soon became clear what side of the fence she was on, because after every one of our answers she would twitch disapprovingly. When you are in a situation where you know the interviewer supports a hate mongering bourgeoisie favoring social security dismantling political party, you can do a number of things. If you are into shock value, yell stuff like, "POWER TO THE PEOPLE!" and "BROWN FOLK RISE UP!" while raising your fist in the air. Or, if you like the subtle route, you can tilt your head and say, "The methods of marketing that the US army uses to blatantly recruit minorities has hit a new low. Have you seen the one where the brown kid is talking to his mom in the kitchen? He tells her, ‘But mom, this is the only way for me to go to college. You instilled this in me.’ The mom just sits there looking sad but a little hopeful. Having commercials that use MTV like tactics to convince minorities that the service will land you a kick ass job as an astronaut or a college degree is false advertising! Show the kids what they’re REALLY getting into - a desert with a bunch of people shooting at your brown ass."
Now watch that lady twitch, twitch, twitch.
