Occupy Dayton harass shoppers in Target during black friday



Wow this is just pathetic. We here at People Liking People can agree with the Occupiers on quite a few things but what the hell are you hoping to accomplish by screaming at customers in a Target store? Telling them that they should be ashamed of themselves for shopping at Target, really? Exactly where do you guys suggest we should shop instead? And you do realize that the people who shop at Target are the 99% that you claim to be representing, right?

This ranks right up there with PETA's unfocused antics. There are real serious cases of animal abuse going on in the world, but often their focus is on something ridiculous like Lobsters in restaurants and instead of bringing attention to a real cause they are attention-whoring themselves. Same with these folks. I suppose they are well-intentioned but instead of directing their efforts towards bringing about positive change, they're simply alienating the exact people who might otherwise support their cause.

The # of people in that Target store who were persuaded by the Occupiers that night: zero.

The # of people in that Target store who didn't really have an opinion on the movement before but are now squarely against it: probably most of them.

There's a right way to deliver a message and then there's this. You seem to take pride in the fact that you're a mostly leaderless organization but this is one case where it would have helped to have an adult in the room.

By the way, what's with the "microphone check" bullshit? Is this supposed to be some type of homage to Dr. Dre's Deeez nuts?

Black Friday shoppers go crazy over $2 waffle maker

Who knew waffle makers were in such high demand? I suppose at $2 even to someone that hates waffles that's a good deal - they could always resell it on Craigslist. Check out the footage below - shoppers act like animals trying to get dibs on their waffle maker in a Walmart in Little Rock, Arkansas.



The woman in blue in the middle there appears to be utilizing the smelly butt crack tactic, always the showstopper.

Math Professor gives really cool presentation for Thanksgiving

This teacher is awesome! For thanksgiving, a math professor at Biola University in Southern California gave a really cool presentation on the meaning of thanksgiving and what we should think about on this day. The thanksgiving lesson was just a small percentage of it though, he did some cool video interaction tricks, see below:



Cool, huh? And for all the tightwads out there who are concerned that this guy is having too much fun and not really teaching, Professor Matthew Weathers assures us that this was at the end of a long lecture and he indeed does spend most of his time going over math! He has a bunch of other cool videos on his youtube channel, check them out.

People Liking People: Koran Burning Nov. 25th

Folks, it is with great excitement that we announce what should be without question a dramatic and exciting ceremony. On November 25th Thanksgiving day, People Liking People will be holding a Koran burning event. While the rest of the country will be celebrating and giving thanks to others and getting together with family members to eat turkey, we'll be setting copies of the Koran on fire.



We will be broadcasting this event live for all of our fans and followers to join in on the fun. We're still working out a concrete schedule, but we're looking at around 3:00pm eastern time to begin the initial ceremony and then around 3:45 the actual burning of the Koran will begin. More details to come, but stay tuned and be sure to mark this on the calendar, though it should be pretty easy to remember being that it's on Thanksgiving day.

By the way, we want to make it clear that we still like all types of people, even Muslims. But this event will go much deeper than a simple like or dislike for any particular group of people. This will transcend time, cultures, geographical boundaries, and will revolutionize the way we think about oatmeal. If anyone has suggestions, comments, or for whatever reason does not want us to follow through with this, feel free to contact us at peoplelikingpeople@yahoo.com. Death threats are welcome too, all feedback is encouraged. Thanks to everyone that has stood behind us from day one.
