Friedman gets “pied”

NY Times columnist near tears.

Apparently, Brown University thought Thomas Friedman would be an appropriate speaker for their Earth Day address. The Greenwash Guerillas thought otherwise...

    we do some dumb fucking shit sometimes and wonder why people dont take us seriously.

    Good fucking god this pisses me off.

    Just another reason I look at Sirota with a skeptical eye

    Heh, well, not to say the guy doesn't really deserve it for being a poser.

    But yeah, not best for your cause when you do immature shit like this. Or bring puppets to a political rally.

    Who was it that came up with the idea to have an anti-war march in business suits? 'Cuz that was frigging brilliant (no sarcasm).

    I'm not so much embarrassed by the pie as I am by the lame manifesto that accompanied it. If you're gonna demand attention like this, make it count when you get it.

    And Thomas Friedman himself is proof that being taken seriously has little to do with whether you do dumb fucking shit.

    "And Thomas Friedman himself is proof that being taken seriously has little to do with whether you do dumb fucking shit."

    Agreed - I was a little bit disturbed when Tech was so happy about being praised highly in The World is Flat. So, it's nice that we have a great program ... but does the Tech administration really agree with Freeman that all we needed to compete with 1/20th labor rate Indians and Chinese was band practice? Really?

    Yeah, I agree that the arts make you a better scientist/engineer, but I am not believing that our job exportation has anything to do with the quality of the labor pool.
