TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

If you've been following the Memebomb thread then you saw that I was able to get 3 of our memebombs printed in the Indianapolis Star's Let It Out column a short time ago. Roughly 200,000 people were able to see our memebombs in print.

This got me thinking that maybe we should push this idea further. Several other papers have sections like Let It Out which is basically a low tech message board.  Other papers have sections in the classifieds where you can place non-advertisement messages very cheap (or for free).  If we want to be really adventurous we could even start writing letters to the editor on relevant issues with a couple of memebombs sprinkled in the middle.  If anyone here knows anyone in who actually works in at a newspaper we could try to convince a journalist to even slip a few phrases in. 

Anyone else have suggestions with what we can do with this?
You cannot fathom the immensity of the fuck i do not give.

I'm liking this... can't think of much right now but will stew on it and get back to this thread.
"I'm guessing it was January 2007, a meeting in Bethesda, we got a bag of bees and just started smashing them on the desk," Charles Wick said. "It was very complicated."

off the top o' my dome:

personals ads (i once had a friend that did this with random wanteds and personals. "looking for driver with good response time willing to idle while i make a stop at the bank. call 555-2134, ask for jack" etc...)

opinions, letters from our readers, etc. (i would suggest that people doing this pick a current event with controversy, but take a different stance from the mainstream. you have slightly higher chances of getting picked up, since they all want to seem fair and balanced.
i got a "black sheep" variant into a "quick opinion" for my local paper, re: protesters extinguishing the Olympic torch. they ask random people on the street an opinion...i happened to be on scene.)

penny savers, etc... they usually have limited-word-count free space. (this is where my friend did his wanteds) those are the ones that always have the "thanks to st. jude for prayers answered" etc...

all else fails, google your area.
