The Iraq War Was Wrong Blog

The world has many wrongs, and many wars, but there's only one wrong Iraq war.

Announcement: TIWWWBprov Everywhere

If you haven't Improv Everywhere check it out. Anwyays that got to me thinking, could we incorporate that sort of gonzo approach into are efforts (to say The Iraq War was wrong repeatedly and incessantly until everyone everwhere concedes The Iraq War was wrong).

Yes we can. I call it TIWWWBprov Everywhere.

So I took of the afternoon today and got a shake and tried to figure out what we can do. Here's my idea for are first mission:

Mission 1: Train Full Of The Iraq War Was Wrong

The idea is so simple it's ingenious. It's to takes place in New York City like all the best Improv Everywhere stunts on account of, they seem to have the best Improvers there.

On the specified day, Friday May 9th, at 7:10 a.m. in the morning, our interpid TIWWWBprov Everywherers will board (or arrange to have boarded beforehand at an earlier stop), say, the Uptown 6 (local) train at the 86th Street station. Once aboard, each Player will either stare straight ahead and sit/stand silently, or look down at an open book they are holding in their hands as if reading, occasionally turning the page. (Books optional).

At Grand Central/42nd Street (or, say, 23rd, depending on where they need to go ect) a few minutes later, the TIWWWBprov Everywhere Players will then get off the very same train, exit the station, and go their separate ways, not having said a word the whole time, with no one's the wiser. IMPORTANT: DURING THE MISSION, DON'T LET ON TO ANYONE WHAT'S GOING ON. If anyone asks, you're just a commuter going to his job as a COO at some bank or wahtever.

But once the mission's over, if approached (by reporter's or whoever) we say we did it because The Iraq War was wrong. Just like that: "Because The Iraq War was wrong".

Folk's I can already tell this is going to be a classic. I've talked to Jim about it already and he's promised to get up there from Charlottesville to video the whole thign. (Sorry I can't be there for this one/prior engagement). Anyways LET'S DO IT people.

Reason I'm so exited you ask is because this is frankly one of the best idea's I've had in a long time.

UPDATE (5/9) Just got of the chat with Jim and he says it was AWSOME! THe way it went down and the way he describe's it. Just wow. I'm amazed too because I thought I screwed it up by typoing that you guy's should use Uptown instead of Downtown. But Jim says there was literadely HUNDRED'S of people on the Train Of Wrong so I guess you figured it out. See, that's why I have some of THE BEST blog readers going. Anyways he got it all on tape and it sounds helarious, I'll try to figure out how to post the video when i get it.

watching your mental deterioration is becoming harder and harder with each new blog post. please consider professional help. perhaps this fixation with "the iraq war" is causative?

But, what about the overwhelming smell that would be present with all of the Iraq War Wrongers in one place. Will that be another part of the puzzle, too?

And yoou must simply do something to make it seem that it's not just a regular day on the train, you know, except for the smell.

And I forgot, how are the Iraq War Wrongers going to even afford to ride the train? Have any of them got jobs?

You will certainly have to take up a collection.

Sorry, just war gaming your plan here.

I'm.. fuc*ing stunned!! This is brilliant. Those people watching won't even know what hit them. Now it'll sound like I'm chickening out of it but seriously, there's no way I can possibly make it. I swear. It's not that I'm scared of sticking out like a sore thumb or of acting stupid and staring blankly in front of me or at a book. If I'm not alone, I'll have the guts to do it, I'm sure!!

I'll be with you all in spirit.

p.s

2dogs: ha ha. very funny. you're a real wise-guy. Pity it's so transparent (your trying to discourage us only strengthens my resolve to be there in spirit).

pastorius: huh? what's not to get?! Plz explain. The plan sounds flawless from where I'm sitting.

I have been thinking about this all day through conference calls and meetings and I think that I have solved the entire problem for y'all.

Get this: everyone has to wear a t-shirt that says "I'm with stupid," but with an arrow pointing up at the head of the person wearing it.

It will be great. And people will post it on You Tube.

cool! Put the video up on youtube when it's ready! Add keywords and descriptions so everyone will see what a big turnout there is for artistic demonstrations against the iraq war being was wrong.
this will become a world-wide movement.

Well that explain's it if you took a cab. Because then you were just a normal person getting out of a cab. Not one of the IWWprovs getting of a whole TRAIN of Wrong.

Maybe you can make the next one (San francisco).
