Finger Bitin' Mad?!

Upset over unpaid wages, a Serbian union official chops off his finger and eats it to protest the situation. "We, the workers, have nothing to eat. We had to seek some sort of alternative food and I gave them an example," Zoran Bulatovic says.

I can think of a hundred other ways to show that there is nothing to eat. This is way too extreme. I’m pretty sure actually that I would eat my own shit before I cut off my finger and ate it. I have a problem with protest in general without taking it to the levels of eating myself. Do you think this changed the mind of anyone in charge of union dues? No. It just showed that this guy was a nut.

I have been to a protest once. Years ago against the FCC when Howard Stern was being raped with fines. Me and a few hundred other idiots stood in front of the federal building in Westwood standing there with signs. As I stood there I knew that what I was doing would not do anything. Honking a car does nothing to support folks. It just makes noise. All that happened was I missed a few hours of work and Stern eventually left the air thus ruining my mornings at the porn shop.

I don’t even like looking at protests. They don’t accomplish anything unless you start burning shit. I always say if you flip a car over all bets are off. I remember when teachers would go on strike every year like it was a holiday. It was cool because then we could act wilder than usual. At my junior high they forced us to picket with them a couple years in a row until we started using the signs for weapons. God, what about those guys that set themselves on fire years ago? Here’s how I would protest.

“Hey, ya’ll. Stop fucking with me.”

Rockets.
