Target Audience?

[Jasper]

I think of stupidity more like a habit.  People with functioning brains are people even if they act like a Brit did all the wiring in thier heads.  I think it's a matter of getting people in the habit of doing what's "wise" and being able to express it.

[P3nT4gR4m]

all joking aside though, because BIP is reading matter, then you already have limited your target audience to people who can be bothered to read. so it makes sense to leave the pamphlet in places where people are likely to read.

Which, of course, means we need to develop a BIP movie or musical. 

"In a world, full of Greyfaces and Cabbages!  One man dared to take on The Machine!  One bar at a time, he uncovered the mysteries and myths of the Black Iron Prison.  That man, was.........Captain Barstool!"

if you could get a gameshow out of it or nudity (possibly combined) then there's a chance for BIP to exist outside of the reading population.

Idea for a quick skit, advertising reality show - celebrity BIP. Show clips of celebrities in the BIP (real world) and funny commentary as if it was big brother or survivor or something.

I know I would be intersted in watching a roundtable of people discussing ideas such as "the lie" and other BIP ideas.  Of course, that would probably be a PBS-type show and thus not much viewership, but maybe if it were kind of sexed up like Mangrove suggested people would tune in.

Actually, I have considered a Discordian type work before, much in the way of L'Entrager or something similar.

Have the panelists do shots of tequila, and the backdrop should be pictures of naked people.

I'd tune in for that.  Drunk presenters are the best.  The Brits will know what I mean if I mention Terry Wogan and Eurovision as an example.

Fuck yeah - there's nothing quite like watching the train wreck that was george best on the wogan show!

The problem with this idea is that we have to get at least 5 BIP Discordians in the same room at the same time.

[AFK]

Hmm, that would be quite the challenge. 

[LMNO]

However, some of the better rants could be recorded, and then animated, a la SNL's "Fun With Real Audio" bits.


I've been trying for some time to get permission to record TGRR's sermons.

[Cain]

Uh, Skype and podcasts.

Duh, we already have POEE.

Damn I feel like a moron for not realizing this before.

[LMNO]

Ok, new thread coming.

Seriously though, LMNO, what do you think of me, perhaps, slipping a few pamphlets into say, all of the papers in a Phoenix, Improper Bostonian (lawl) or Metro box? Or could I get in deep shit if I'm caught?
