I think they need the Alex Jones Home Enema kit. For a REAL Truth Movement. Turns anyone's bowels into an amazing likeness of the man himself.

Sorry about that, I blame tubgirl.

They're selling the DVD for $17.95.

Thats outragous.

Or the "bare bones" at $9.95, which they again try to huckster you on with the same line about it being "near cost"!
Over here we get blank DVD's with our logo printed on them for about a buck a piece. How much labor does it take to burn a copy? But they're claimin 9.95 is "near cost"! And the difference between the "bare bones" version and the boxed one of $8.00? Why it's the box and a photo on the cover! Yeah, eight bucks worth of packaging?
They're such philanthropists.

And I'm sure we'll see an accounting soon of how much from the store is going to the victims. Do-Over has only got about two million to come up with, I believe.

What? No Loose Change Monopoly or jigsaw puzzles?

The final boss is a likeness of Gravy that shoots facts. And fireballs.

Yeah, really nasty, these people selling stuff to support their cause, and it never stops, just lookey here:

But what it comes down to is the simple fact that Randi isn't doing it by exploiting the fallen and accusing the innocent

 

[MG1962]

Yeah I think they are missing some oppotunities here

Loose change demolition pack (empty of course)

Loose change soda with special "Pull it" Ring

They could stimulate sales by offering a competition - First prize, a date with killtown. Second prize two free dates with killtown

But what it comes down to is the simple fact that Randi isn't doing it by exploiting the fallen and accusing the innocent

That depends on your point of view- many JREF supporters are atheists (by definition "the fallen"), and may people think that $ylvia Browne and Uri Geller are "innocent"

the real difference is that the JREF is run not for prophet, whereas LTW is all about the bottom line, oh and Randi is right and Avery and co are disgusting parasites.

Probably not... back in the seventies these people were called 'breadheads', they made a lot of money promoting 'alternative' rock concerts, Woodstock, Sunbury, et al...

 

[Graham2001]

Do we see any of that these days? Heck, no. Now it's all marketing. Social justice takes a back seat to selling T-shirts and DVDs.

Somewhere I have a late 1960's Analog magazine with a letter claiming that the 'networks' supplied protesters with banners, slogans and if I remember correctly fake blood as well (I could be wrong on this, when I get home I'll double check.), so the idea of marketing the revolution goes back a lot further than current events.

 

[ref]

These guys are still missing many opportunities to make money. Their stuff is nothing compared to our Eurovision Song Contest -winners here in Finland, the monster rock band Lordi.

Lordi products etc. so far:

- Lordi square in their hometown
- Lordi comic book
- Official Lordi book
- Lordi Restaurant
- Lordi Cola
- Lordi notes book
- Lordi Credit Card
- Lordi pictures in stamps, postcards, telegrams and packages

That to go with the usual T-shirts, chains, records, DVD's, caps... Jeez.

Imagine going to a LC restaurant in LC square, wearing LC T-shirt, chain and a LC cap. You could order LC cola while reading LC comic book, your bookmark would be a LC postcard with a LC stamp on it. The restaurant would be playing LC soundtrack and the TV showing LC 2nd edition. And you could pay your visit with LC credit card. Nightmare?

Sorry to unspoiler your spoiler but that, if not deliberate, is a wonderfully ironic misspelling.

 

[Brainache]

Thanks for that Brodski. Not sure if it was a typo, but it gave me a chuckle.

 

[brettDbass]

So how much goes to victim's families?

How much goes to Dylan's beer fund?

Scum.

Why all the fuss?
He'll send a free DVD to any victim directly affected by 9/11.
As long as you send him proof, you know, evidence of who you are and how you were affected.

"Loose Change 2nd Edition DVD on spindle (50 Pack)

These are fully functional DVDs, provided to you at near cost for the purpose of handing out to people or copying for friends.


Price: $175.00"

"Near cost" my foot. I can get blank DVD's and a marker for much, much less than $175.

Heck, Amazon's got DVD's for barely $30.

It looks like the ones they are selling are properly pressed DVDs rather than
burned DVD-Rs. However, I'd surpised if (at the quantities they're being made) each DVD cost more that a dollar to produce. Even if each disc cost £2 that's still a $75 profit (less distribution costs - but they may be covered by the postage and packing fee) on the stack of 50. And that's their lowest per-disc margin.

Yeah, like personal care products! How about a product we wish Dylan's mom and dad had used......

Ebay has "Loose Change' for $1.50 a pop, "Buy It Now." That's how I found out about the DVD in the first place.

Well, I think a real life RP game - first person shooter with Loose Changers "allowed" to play themselves -would be entertaining. I'd pay to play that!!

 

[jon]

Well remember the losers did mention during the vanity video that the snipers were watching them.
I mean reallly they could have called it "accidental"

Didn't someone mention going along to a 'truth' protest with a laster pointer

That's "near" cost the same way the collapses were "near" free fall. That is, not very close at all....
