Ron Paul supporters recently marched on several of World of Warcraft’s cities in a show of support that, unless I missed something, still only qualifies as playing a video game. The Montgomery bus boycott this is not. And it looks like Paul’s support rally went over about as well as anything in a MMORPG that wasn’t vandalism or hopelessly perverse. When will people learn that virtual worlds are even stupider and less relevant than our real one?
Finally, they reached Orgrimmar, a ghastly, reeking city of the orcs, which Paul supporters had agreed would serve as a stand-in for Washington, D.C. If they could storm its gates, Lettuce B-Free says, they would be symbolically taking their country back from the Beltway elites.
Y’know, rather than actually taking back their country. It’s always fun to pretend.
So if you’re wondering why your protest inside WoW or your voting up an article on digg aren’t getting the earth-shattering change you hoped for, it’s because playing video games and surfing the internet is, second to none, the least you could possibly do.
Except maybe complaining about it on your blog. Ooh, zing!
Reading that made my testicles shrink.
No no no, I’m sure they’re talking about a different Paul.
there’s a reason they’re called “Paultards”
Ron Paul supporters, that is, not Paul’s testicles
