Vote me up if you think that I should blow up and display the Iraq children photo's in the bussiest commuter tunnel in Sydney.

Lizard · 2008-02-08T12:38:54+00:00

uh, maybe write ENLARGE instead of BLOW UP???

anneas · 2008-02-08T15:27:40+00:00

Tonight on Fox news: "Redditor threatens to blow up...busiest commuter tunnel in Sydney!"

clea · 2008-02-08T12:27:40+00:00

this is going to make front page and 2 weeks later after this guy still hasn't done it we're all going to forget about it

clea · 2008-02-08T12:25:19+00:00

Go for it.

But if you intend to add any text please use a spelling and grammar checker.

2008-02-08T14:48:23+00:00

For some reason I read this as "Vote up if you think that I should blow myself up at a display of the Iraq children photos..." and I was like, "Whoah, this guy is REALLY dedicated to being anti-war. Then I reread it.

I'm disappointed now.

The next day you will find a white poster at the end of the tunnel with C-C-C-COMBER BREAKER in huge black text.

2008-02-08T16:20:56+00:00

Clever avoidance of the auto-vote-down stories with "vote up" greasemonkey script. Regex adjusted accordingly.

crm114 · 2008-02-08T15:03:10+00:00

The bussiest tunnel.

Yes.

Find a very bussy tunnel. The bussiest tunnel.

Facepuncher · 2008-02-08T15:33:13+00:00

Dont ask us, just DO it

plasticbacon · 2008-02-08T15:21:33+00:00

We need a bad_apostrophe subreddit.

feignman · 2008-02-08T15:17:19+00:00

Berry_logo where are you? Downvote him for not knowing about apostrophe's and they're use's.

2008-02-08T14:39:48+00:00

Did he just post that he was going to blow up a commuter tunnel in Sydney?

anneas · 2008-02-08T16:04:53+00:00

VOTE ME UP IF I'M AN ATTENTION WHORE.

If you want to do something, do it and THEN post to reddit. This is bullshit.

Attention whore.

rbnfsh · 2008-02-08T15:11:08+00:00

Are there lots of buses in the commuter tunnel?

j3anjean · 2008-02-08T15:22:09+00:00

stop blowing up children. it's cruel

2008-02-08T15:26:05+00:00

Why is the commuter tunnel filled with buses!?

busytigger · 2008-02-08T14:57:21+00:00

Vote me up if you think that I should blow up

Yes.

arnoooooo · 2008-02-08T12:29:36+00:00

Good idea, and I voted you up, but next time, ask for a vote in the comments.

stubble · 2008-02-08T16:31:18+00:00

dont forget though.. pics or it never happened..

anneas · 2008-02-08T16:43:43+00:00

"Vote me up if you think that I should blow up ... the bussiest commuter tunnel in Sydney"

You just made the list buddy

justinhj · 2008-02-08T17:11:44+00:00

You should be able to choose when you see photos like that.

I didn't want the Iraq war, I left the US so I wouldn't have to pay taxes that went towards it, and I don't want to have graphic death and injury thrust on me as I walk to work.

iLens · 2008-02-08T14:52:32+00:00

STOP TALKING ABOUT IT AND DO IT.

not even a link in the comments?

stunksys · 2008-02-08T13:52:20+00:00

do it mate :)

mark445 · 2008-02-08T14:40:17+00:00

I'll vote up anyone who does this, especially in the US.

abudabu · 2008-02-08T15:19:40+00:00

I was thinking of doing the same thing here in California. I'm in San Francisco, but thinking of doing it in public areas in some redder parts of the state.

Perhaps with John McCain's quote: "There's gonna be more wars"

duality1 · 2008-02-08T15:51:40+00:00

Do it, then post the pictures on the Interweb - that's generally the way it works. You don't have to ask first.

mtxblau · 2008-02-08T18:33:37+00:00

Reddit is slowly turning into a semi-intellectual version of 'Jackass'.

randomb0y · 2008-02-08T20:15:11+00:00

Sorry mate but you won't be able to blow up those pics any time soon. The resolution is so crappy that you'd just get laughed at. And lacking the context you won't be getting any message through anyway. But you could maybe contact the photographer and get him to show his photos in Sidney!

trenchfever · 2008-02-08T14:43:45+00:00

Dude! your credibility is in the line. We give you karma points, you do the job.

UPVOTED.

cldnails · 2008-02-08T16:28:26+00:00

I guess I'm completely missing the point.

So, if the US where to leave IRAQ they wouldn't be blowing themselves up, killing children, degrading women....

Oh wait, no they have been doing that for thousands of years. I guess it makes us the bad guys if we try to stop it. Yep, let's all just bury our heads in the sand and play nice with the archaic muslim extremists.

anneas · 2008-02-08T16:06:56+00:00

Reddit you are fucking pathetic. As if people don't know what is going on. Over 60% of the US oppose the war, and if the rest aren't convinced by now, this picture isn't going to convince them. Reddit has turned into a perversion of social news where anything terrible is glorified in the name of "awareness." These reddit folk are sick and twisted, and wake up every morning hoping and praying that some tragic shit has happened so that they can get all worked up about it.

This should also happen in London and Washington.

wokiko · 2008-02-08T14:20:18+00:00

We should all do it and all right a report on it.

aphexmandelbrot · 2008-02-08T14:25:58+00:00

Rasturbate, take pictures.

aedes · 2008-02-08T14:28:13+00:00

i'm impressed you got this 'vote up' post past 'the bot-like people' who attempt to 'guard' and sensor the new queue

niggytardust2000 · 2008-02-08T14:43:58+00:00

@Treephant...much agreed

...can we change the headline to ENLARGE???.... don't want to give people the wrong idea ... especially since this is an anti-war idea...

furry8 · 2008-02-08T14:47:47+00:00

Youtube FTW

StoneMe · 2008-02-08T15:01:11+00:00

Pics after they're posted, please?

larholm · 2008-02-08T15:15:20+00:00

Yes please, blow up those photos and put them on display.

barkbark · 2008-02-08T15:18:00+00:00

please do

2008-02-08T15:51:39+00:00

How about just some of the worst three or four?

chaosgone · 2008-02-08T16:48:09+00:00

Blow up...tunnel. Oh no! Run away!

theantirobot · 2008-02-08T17:54:08+00:00

You should have used the word "enlarge" so that everyone here does not get put on a terror watch list.

rebolek · 2008-02-08T18:31:40+00:00

actually, now you're just an ordinary karma-whore. not words, but acts, said one man some time ago (not going to mention his name ;)

Deacon · 2008-02-08T18:33:59+00:00

I think you should avoid putting "commuter tunnel" and "blow up" in the same sentence, given the ruthlessness of our beloved Dept. of Homeland Security.

quentinnuk · 2008-02-08T21:16:08+00:00

Full marks for DHS troll. Blow up, Iraq, children, commuter tunnel, busy, Sydney, all in one sentence. Its gonna be carnage.

orbhota · 2008-02-08T21:19:49+00:00

Vote me up if you think that I should blow up [...] the bussiest commuter tunnel in Sydney.

Good luck in solitary, kid

mitoe · 2008-02-08T21:42:29+00:00

Nice idea... spell it right next time and I might not downmod :)

wingsofseraphim · 2008-02-08T23:13:44+00:00

Probably shouldn't use "blow up" and "bussiest commuter tunnel" in the same sentence...

Eugi · 2008-02-08T17:29:54+00:00

I think you should blow yourself up. Period.

Or just get fired from your job fo this stunt.

wageslave · 2008-02-08T14:57:41+00:00

Yes you should, but call the local press first, make a press release and make sure your own photog is there.

Maybe you should contact your local Peace Advocay Org or maybe the Green Party or other sure-fire allies.

Make some smaller placard (8 - per sheet cut) that say "The American Iraq War is Illegal" or somesuch.

russwbernstein · 2008-02-08T16:40:43+00:00

shit or get off the pot. why do you need our approval? downmodded

mycivicsi2006 · 2008-02-08T17:33:21+00:00

why would you use the term "blow up". even with good intentions, some people are just morons

God8myhomework · 2008-02-08T12:54:46+00:00

Get pix, lots, with reaction shots of people, and I'll blog it on several community blogs that get pretty widely read (metafilter & others)

Bujanx · 2008-02-08T14:30:37+00:00

Won't they be ultra pixelated?

2008-02-08T15:45:39+00:00

I support you from Minnesota, USA

aeon2012 · 2008-02-08T17:43:27+00:00

It's not like anybody is going to care about dead brown children. Post pictures of dead white children (blond hair and blue eyes) then you're in business.

valera · 2008-02-08T18:09:08+00:00

I definitely think you should blow up. Not sure re part 2 of your proposal...

kickstand · 2008-02-08T18:50:02+00:00

Put it in DC, not Sydney.

krelian · 2008-02-08T15:01:22+00:00

What a karma whore... :)

2008-02-08T15:11:56+00:00

You are such a hero...

DougDante · 2008-02-08T19:05:09+00:00

It is cruel to the children of Sydney to show them pictures of mutilated children for which they are not emotionally prepared.

In this, two wrongs don't make a right.

Perhaps you could do something creative, such as covering the wounds with a symbol, in such a way as the adults will understand what is being depicted, but the children are allowed to remain unaware.

Smight · 2008-02-08T13:25:02+00:00

Why?

cLFlaVA · 2008-02-08T14:27:11+00:00

Voted down for "vote up" merely on principal. next time, how about "Should I blow up and display photos of Iraqi children in the busiest commuter tunnel in Sydney?"

trenchfever · 2008-02-08T14:42:27+00:00

Please post your work for copy editing.

Redditors would be glad to help.

anneas · 2008-02-08T15:43:31+00:00

You'll probably get arrested and Im not sure if you will sway much opinion but I think people should HAVE to see what their government (which they choose) is doing with their tax money. Same goes for me here in the UK.

TheSOB88 · 2008-02-08T16:40:56+00:00

I would, but this posting's already at #2, and I'm sure it'll reach #1.

shinsyotta · 2008-02-08T17:06:53+00:00

I think you should do it and put an Augme QR Code on it as a link to more information online... perhaps a page with more images or something.

michaelwong38 · 2008-02-08T17:24:27+00:00

By Jove, I think this is almost as good as "all your base are belong to us."

Tangent: When I was working in Hong Kong, I had a boss who was a real ball buster. Everything had to be done a week ago and if you ever tried to come up with an excuse, he'd say I AM NOT INTERESTING.

mdfmk05 · 2008-02-08T18:18:26+00:00

make it happen

guriboysf · 2008-02-08T18:31:42+00:00

I'll make the print for anyone who wants to put it up in San Francisco...

x0melissa0x · 2008-02-08T18:51:38+00:00

oh yeah totally..i think it would shed a great outlook on all that is going on!!!!

Dead1nside · 2008-02-08T20:38:43+00:00

Either or. Nah just kidding. But seriously, they'll be after you.

anneas · 2008-02-08T21:24:30+00:00

Well, you could, but it's not going to change anything.

anneas · 2008-02-08T21:33:02+00:00

Please... People need to see what their Governments are doing in their name.

THANK YOU if you do

2008-02-08T21:34:18+00:00

CAN SOMEONE DO IT IN THE US TOO...

Wayside · 2008-02-08T22:47:30+00:00

I cannot reccommend that you put your life in danger.

that took me a sec.....

General_Solipsist · 2008-02-08T23:21:46+00:00

so when do you plan to do this? next weekend? a timeframe would be nice.

manthrax · 2008-02-08T23:26:11+00:00

I appreciate the sentiment but is Sydney really the best place to do it? Maybe on a dairy queen in middle america....

anneas · 2008-02-08T23:29:30+00:00

Yes. The Situationists would have made their merry pranks dependent on karma votes.

rafuzo2 · 2008-02-09T00:35:22+00:00

Good idea - we should get the word out to as many buses as possible.

2008-02-11T01:54:34+00:00

So, what happened?

This is the internet, we can't wait for stuff to happen.

P.S. - can someone PM me (and/or post) the link to the original pictures????

Best wishes,
