Lol, all you need now is a “Blondes Aren’t Dumb” campaign. Things like this never happen in Oklahoma.

This is absolutely the best thing ever! I’m from Australia (a redhead too) and we do Impro Melbourne which is inspired by you guys. We did a silent rave (MP3 experiment inspired) and soon we’re planning a slow motion shop. Just thought I’d say that all the scenes you cause are completely awesome.

Thanks for helping make America look like complete spoiled asses, when you can argue about a logo that shows me declining of a civilization because of stupidity

This was hilarious! I’m older so my red hair has settled into a more strawberry blond colour, but I would’ve loved being part of this!
If I’m not mistaken, I think I saw the actor who plays the cablevision technician in those funny Verizon cable tv ads there. He’s awesome!

Go Team Ginger!

You know, if Conan O’Brien had done this on his show and with a lot of the same bits (I can just picture him leading the charge), then I imagine that more people would have gotten the joke… “Uh, it’s Conan O’Brien’s show… Uh, he’s a comedian… Uh, so this probably isn’t real news… Uh, so I guess it’s just a joke… Uh, he gets paid a lot, so I guess it must be funny… OK, I’m gonna laugh.” It’s when you knock out the cultural indicators (… comedian… comedy show) that people’s stupidity is allowed to rise to the surface, hopefully only briefly and, hopefully — the moment of truth — ending in an opportunity to laugh at oneself at the moment of confronting one’s own limits and biases.

A joke where no one tells you it’s a joke, an invitation to figure it out for yourself and find out where your own bounds of reality are, that might even be what humor is.

Good work, I.E.

Some of these commenters are prime examples of why the world needs Improv Everywhere: they need a sense-of-humor transplant. Life must be a lot harder when you take everything seriously.

Wow. This was one day out of 365 and you’re all being hounded for not “doing something worthwhile like protesting the war or fighting hunger.” I might assume by people who waste their time posting negative comments instead of giving to worthwhile causes.

I’m fighting in that Iraq war these non-humor-filled individuals want you to protest so I will just say, “Thank you” for giving me something to smile about.

OK, so it’s a joke. But it’s a joke that uses two very serious and hotly-debated elements (racism and protests) to build its premise. Given the general failure of the Web to convey sarcasm or humor (especially in searches based on keywords) and the viral nature of the Internet where people throw links around based on cursory glances at the material, it’s not hard to see how people not only think this is real, but keep perpetuating the farce.

Besides, one can never exaggerate the stupidity of the American public, for all estimates shall fall short of the truth. And of course, facts never get in the way of emotion in our culture.
