This Thursday night, we will be having a "sign painting" [and "FINGER painting"] party, where we will be painting the index fingers of those foam mitts PURPLE.This is where YOU come in. :o)We need some creative SIGN ideas, like THIS one:
IRAQ: 1
Hollywood: 0What do YOU think?What is the best MESSAGE for us to send to Hollywood?
(And to the BILLIONS who may be watching at home on TV.)
...from www.billingsgazette.com:

Shelby Dangerfield, 10,
is displaying her solidarity with the Iraqi voters
by painting her finger blue as a representation
of the voters fingers marked for the elections.

We may not be able to get very many people into the PRIME media location at Hollywood & Highland.
LAST YEAR, there were so many people jammed into that corner that the LAPD had to close the sidewalks to EVERYONE not already inside a two-block perimeter by noon.Even TED HAYES (who arrived just before 2 pm) was not allowed into that "prime location" -- as there were Oscar fans EVERYWHERE. :(
I plan to review our options with the LAPD later this week, but for now, here is our CURRENT strategy, from the pre-FReep thread:
...We expect that SOME the TV cameras, wire service photographers and print journalists will start arriving as early as noon, but MOST of the media attention should be from 3 pm to 5 pm – during the Red Carpet ceremonies.The limos should start driving west on Hollywood Blvd (from Wilcox, or Vine) at about 3 pm – right past our position in front of the billboard at Hollywood and Whitley.Our current plan is to have an advance team (led by Ted Hayes and RonDog) [and Outraged?] arrive at Hollywood and Highland – to "stake out" a position near the steel fence facing the Red Carpet arrival area VERY EARLY Sunday morning. This area will rapidly be OVERWHELMED by Oscar fans from all across the USA, as they squeeze in to perhaps get a glimpse of their favorite star’s arrival...Anyone arriving before noon should attempt to hook up with us there. Ted and I may decide to give up our “front row” positions to others, who may be able to hold signs.The SECOND team will gather in front of the billboard at Hollywood and Whitley – three blocks east of Highland. Some time around noon, Ted and I will break away from our "front row" positions, and move to join the second team (at Hollywood and Whitley) – where we will lead a "parade" down Hollywood, from Whitley to as close to Highland as we can get.We will know more soon.
Note that the signs that are most readble -- from a distance, on television -- all have the LARGE LETTERS, and FEW WORDS.
This is (in general) the kind of sign ideas that we are looking for THIS year...
Don't give the Oscars free publicity---stay home!
Or something like that..
I've never been a fan of the purple finger in solidarity.
If we defer to Google, PURPLE seems to be a more prevalent.
From search Google for "blue finger" Iraq:Results 1 - 10 of about 12,600 for "blue finger" Iraq.From search Google for "purple finger" Iraq:Results 1 - 10 of about 54,500 for "purple finger" Iraq.
Wish I could be there with you guys! But .. I have a suggestion for a sign:
HILLARY: WHAT CAN I SAY TO FOOL THEM TODAY
I have noted that a year ago when she went to Iraq - she made statements to our military about not knowing how the war was going to end up - and victory was not assured. This year, I hear she is saying that we must not leave yet. The seeds of doubt about her statements need to be planted in the public's mind so the public is suspicious of everything she says.
ISLAM HATES HOLLYWOOD

HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO ACT IN A BURKA
THE END IS NEAR........ISLAM IS COMING
HOLLYWOOD = INFIDELS
