Late Late Nite FDL: I ACCEPT!!

Oh, my god!! Melanie Morgan hearts me!!
I just got an email from Move America Forward directed to Those of Us in the Anti-War Movement:
You've become so despicable in your actions that America is now turning against you. You are failing.
You promised 100,000 marchers for the "March on the Pentagon" but your march was a total bust with only a few thousand protestors turning out to show solidarity with the terrorists, and speaking out against the fight for freedom.
Well, at least it wasn't some completely fraudulent Cluster-Hump of Weasels like your little shindig, you braying fishwife. That one where y'all just made up a number of attendees, claimed it was from the Park Service, and then trumpeted it around in a delusional little daisy chain until us meddling kids brought you crashing back down.
Say guys, I heard some hippies are threatening to desecrate various locations in and around Baghdad. Why don’t the 30,000 of y’all surge on over?
…Hey wait, where did everybody go?
Update: No such Park Service, ‘Parks Service,’ or ‘Parks and Service’ estimate has appeared in any form, apparently because the National Park Service no longer estimates the size of crowds at public events. No publicly available photo on the Web — although please correct us if we’re wrong — shows more than a couple of hundred pro-war demonstrators in any place at any time.
So, I was sitting there contemplating where I read something like this before. Oh, right!
This is perhaps the best-known leaflet of the period. It is shown in several ww2 books. The Luftwaffe dropped dropped this leaflet over The Hague on the 10th of Mai 1940.
The Dutch text has several very bad mistakes (some German words are mixed with Dutch). It is said that this leaflet – used to intimidate Dutch civilians – had virtually no effect on the target. During the time of its use there were heavy fights going on around The Hague. On the roads between The Hague and Rotterdam, many Luftwaffe airplanes had to crash land.
In short, the text on this one sided leaflet reads:"Strong German troops surrounded the city.
All resistance is of no more use.
Germany is not fighting your country, but it fights England.
Only forced to, during this battle, the German army had to invade your country.
The German army protects life and property of every peace loving citizen.
But German troops will punish any violence by the civilians with Death.
Every citizen has to go on with his normal doings. In that way he is serving the interest of his own people."
But then I looked a little closer at the email and realized that it wasn't just some generic spam that got sent to everyone at FDL, I saw that it has my first and last name in the TO: line, David Ferguson. And I thought, like, oh my god! Melanie Morgan thinks that I'm, like, a MAJOR PLAYER in the ANTI-WAR movement? What a compliment! That means I am having an effect. They know who I am!
Excellent. That means Melanoma Miscarriage has probably even read things I've said about her.
Uh.
Mah.
Gawd.
You like me! You really, really like me!
Awwwwwww. I accept this award on behalf of…me.
Sigh.
Gosh, I had a bunch of people to thank, but now my mind has gone completely blank up here. Uh, well. Just, thank you.
You know who you are.
Good night!
UPDATE: Thank god Gavin from Sadly, No! was there with his camera.
