Protest outside NBC headquarters in New York of the new "reality" show Stars Earn Stripes which glorifies militarism and is no doubt intended as a recruiting tool aimed at young people trying to enter a dismal job market.

Bus advertisements that appeared in San Francisco this week, drawing a huge public outcry against hate speech. (Personal note: Seldom have I been so proud to identify as a savage. Sauvage from the French, means uncivilized. As Dr. Seuss so eloquently put it, "I stand with the wild.")

See if you can identify the civilized men in this photo.

Want to communicate with San Francisco about their horrific bus ads? Click here to sign a petition which reads, in part:

The MUNI ads use language that is hate speech. By framing it as civilized man vs savage man, the ads draw upon racism and fear. This hate speech will incite hatred and violence, and it should not be on our buses.
