I plan on participating in this.

Is anyone going to actually be in D.C. on this day?

sounds like a plan. I'll have to stock up on everything the day before of course, totally negating the effects of the boycott.

Is this another internet scam? Like the one a couple of years ago where you were supposed to not drive over 55 mph to protest the speed limit?

'Cause I still feel stupid for that one!

No, this one's been in the works for a while. And you better believe I'm participating. Or would "not participating" be more accurate. ;)

BTW, boycotting the mediawhore news isn't officially part of the plan, but I plan on doing it that day, just so I don't become violently ill - which would force me to go to the drug store and buy meds.

Then fuck TargetŠ! I'll stock up as well. Though I might need meds as well:
