How did you think we came up with P.F.T. for Paper Free Tuesday.
Well, folks. T’was a moment of utter brilliance or complete buffoonery by the committee members during one of our meetings, neither of which is apparent on hindsight by any one of us, hence, no one wishes to take credit for it. Serious. Awww, ain’t that just swell for a bunch of racially diversified people getting together, working pro bono, like-minded in some ways, highly opinionated when trashing out the details which led to quite a lot of ‘pfftth’ being silently muttered. Of course it wasn’t meant for the company present at the time but for the MSM. Serious.
Anywayz, stage one is over and done with, and here’s some pics on the press conference on Monday the 28th,
in the presence of some MSM representatives (Star and Sun) which I thought was rather hilarious since we’re announcing a boycott initiative on MSM prints. We made it easier for them to face their editors later in the day by sms-ing their bosses directly during the PC, just to show that we’re actually quite a friendly bunch with no bad intentions.
Meanwhile, do you see the ubiquitous yellow t-shirts which most of us were wearing? The front and back are shown below:
Each t-shirt will set you back RM17.50 inclusive of registered mail delivery and you need to pay this guy (yeah, it’s the lawyer who gets the money) here:
HARIS FATHILLAH MOHD IBRAHIM
CIMB a/c no: 1456-0001231-52-5
Thereafter, send an e-mail to <http://thepeoplesparliament.boycott@gmail.com> attaching a copy of your deposit slip (scanned/phone-camed/digi-camed/whatever-camed) complete with your full name, address (home or office, whichever is convenient for you bearing in mind that you have to acknowledge receipt) and we’ll do the rest i.e. fulfill your order lah. And if you’re tech-challenged, there’s always the good old fashioned fax machine at 09-2227332. Sizes available – S/M/L/XL/XXXL. Sorry Bigdog, yer still need to slim down some more.
So is there a stage two to all this? Sure. As soon as you buy the t-shirts.
O.B.E.

Hello Shar,
I have already boycott the MDM (printing) not only on Tueaday but on the average dayss as well.
If you bloggers can come out with an ersatz in printing (other than Malaysiakini.com), I will be a definite subscriber.
Always see you at Elviza’s blog, where have u been, Sir?
Cheers.

HbH, How are you, bro? There are on-going discussions between some ex-journos/bloggers/activists to come up with an on-line ‘newsdesk’ to counter the MSM spins, not just geared for the GE but also, for the longer term. It might be an issue specific effort and/or a daily gazette.
Meanwhile, on Mkini, are you a subscriber or prefer not to read their articles? If it’s the latter, please let me know why because I’ll be meeting Prem shortly and would like to address ‘peoples reluctance’ in reading Mkini. You can e-mail me at shar.1zero1@gmail.com if you wish.
Oh yeah, been busy off-line i.e. in the real world doing activist-ing and plotting lah. OBE is not exactly a mainstream blog so have to contribute my effort with other initiatives for a better Malaysia – shar101.

Say bro, whaddya mean when you’re “compensating by plotting off-line”? Hmmm, sounds intriguing. Care to let on? Bro make sure the candidate you mark the ‘x’ for will go all out to drop the price of “essential” goods. Which to you and means only two things: Titties and Beer. Oops that was a song from the late Frank Zappa.
Carry on my wayward friend (to the tune of Kansas)… 🙂

Dang it, Swampman. I ain’t got time to even reply on comments here. Sorry, bro, for the late response.
See next post for the (hehehe!) plotting stuff re: BARISAN RAKYAT posters courtesy of MOB1900 – shar101.
