Help ABC destroy itself! Now there's 2 WillPitt PDFs you can print & xerox
Edited on Thu Sep-07-06 11:09 AM by StefanX
If you have access to a printer and a xerox machine, you can now "be the media".

Now there's 2 PDFs of Will Pitt's "data dumps" debunking ABC's movie, ready for you to print and xerox:

(1) "9/11 was Clinton's Fault" - by Will Pitt
http://www.myfilehut.com/userfiles/193404/911_was_clintons_fault.pdf
2-page PDF (fits on one sheet of 8-1/2" x 11" lettersize paper - double-sided - just fold it in half)

(Some people don't like the title of the PDF above, which sounds like it blames Clinton, although the article actually goes on to debunk the headline - which was written for internet search engines, or to catch a freeper's eye. If you're concerned about the "misleading" headline, be creative - go ahead and add a big handwritten "NOT" on the headline before you xerox or on each printout. The handwritten, graffiti effect might be cool!)


(2) Clinton, 9/11 and the Facts - by Will Pitt
http://www.myfilehut.com/userfiles/193404/clinton_911_and_the_facts.pdf
4-page PDF (fits on 2 sheets of 8-1/2" x 11" lettersize paper - double-sided - fold in half and staple on the fold)

Instructions:
(1) Right-click, choose "Save target as..." - and remember where on your hard drive you're saving it.

(2) Open it and print it, photocopy it double-sided, fold it in half - and distribute!

(3) When double-sided xeroxing the longer PDF, be careful to match up the pages correctly. The sheets with pages 1 & 8 and pages 7 & 2 go together, and the sheets with pages 4 & 5 and 6 & 2 go together. After you fold the larger PDF, you should also staple it in the middle along the fold.

Places you can distribute:
- train stations / bus stops
- diners / cafeterias / coffee lounges / watercooler areas
- grocery checkouts
- waiting rooms - doctor / dentist
- college / workplace / church
- email as an attachment to friends who might want to distribute it in their area
- have your kid's teacher / principal read this instead of Scholastic
etc

This stuff by Will Pitt was at the top of the "Greatest" page for a while, so people who like to read will eat this up.

Help people offline find out what all the boycotts, petitions and protests are about. Then ABC will just be spending $40 million to hang themselves - so let's give them plenty of rope!

PS - I've checked with Will on this, and in the thread below he says it's ok to use his stuff:

2. Thanks Will! It took me two tries to get the printing 'flipped' correctly,
but now I have it.

3. Getting the printing "flipped" correctly takes some care
Edited on Thu Sep-07-06 10:52 AM by StefanX
On the larger PDF, you're going to get FOUR (single-sided) sheets from your laser printer -- which you'll then turn into TWO (double-sided) sheets when you xerox.

The two sheets numbered
1 & 8
7 & 2
should be photocopied (or printed) back-to-back.

And the two sheets numbered
3 & 6
4 & 5
should be photocopied (or printed) back-to-back.

It's probably best to photocopy just one "test" set at first to make sure things are flipped correctly, before you crank out a whole slew of them.

Of course, if Kinko's or your office photocopy dept is doing this, they're used to double-sided photocopying.

4. On my printer, I had to flip short end to short end and it prints 2 pages
on a single sheet of paper.

8. Kicking...
Here's a funny comment I found at Atrios:

How I would love for Clinton to go on national teevee and say, "you know, I told that cracker sumbitch that Bin Ladin was a dangerous motherfucker but would he listen? oh, no... he was too busy obsessing about fucking Saddam, who we had completely boxed in and neutralized. Dumb motherfucker. 9/11 happened because he was asleep at the switch down at his fucking fake ranchette."
