Chicago Car Show Shutdown 2007 - Part 7

Global Warming, Hit and Run, War for Oil, and Exxon Mobil is making record profits! Sounds like it's time for another Auto Show Shutdown Festival, this year a posse of polar revolutionaries pedaled to McCormick Place to deliver a message of love and hope to the purveyors and consumers of car culture. We received some good press this year, check it out at:

Look at that huge crowd. Great turnout. Way to go! Shut that show down...how did it go?

Also, is that guy on the mic the best you could do as your speaker? So insiring, with his broken sentence and Peter Brady puberty tone.

 I'm sure he scared some folks in that Superman costume.

Also, I find it hilarious that cars prohibit kids from walking to school. The logic here is so retarded.

Keep up the good work. Critical Mass' image is just above a pile of drool.

We were pretty amazed by the effect we had. The big three begging to congress for tax money because car sales are down, just as we see a huge boom in bike sales, priceless.

Looks like we are starting to all pedal in the right direction.

Thanks for watching!

After watching the whole series of videos I feel inspired..to pollute as much as possible. How does it feel knowing that dozens of you can spend your whole lives trying to save the environment, and one person can undo all that work by simply burning a truckload of tires? Enjoy your dead planet, it's coming no matter what, and you're wasting your life looking like a retard for nothing. Well, I've got some tires to burn, later.

wow, someone needs to get laid.

Thanks man,

I will enjoy watching - it's always a good laugh.

[PottedSnoof]

Just as there is nothing original or special about yours. It must really suck to know that hundreds of douches can work their asses off to 'save the environment', and one person can undo it all with relative ease.

lol there are far worse things you can do than "touch a nerve". Don't give yourself so much credit, I don't believe in being silent in response to such ignorant and hateful comments. There is nothing unique or original about your views :)

[PottedSnoof]

Seems like I touched a nerve, mission accomplished! There is nothing I love more than pissing off douchebags such as yourself. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go club some baby seals to death.

A lot of great things have occurred in the existance of humankind...that people didn't want to hear. Maybe it's those that don't want to hear...that need to listen.

Isn't being full of oneself...what you are personifying, PottedSnoof? If you feel like polluting... causing damage to the environment...or assisting in the extinction of animal species...or hastening the extinction of the human race - perhaps you should begin with your personal extinction. If you get my drift. Your hostility and anger are not just ill-placed, they are rooted in your own insecurities and ignorance.

I hate to break it to you - you live on this "dead planet" just as we all do.

[PottedSnoof]

Even if I were a virgin, it wouldn't change the fact that you are full of yourself.
