Bed-In
Inspired by John and Yoko, I plan to conduct a Bed-In sometime soon. Maybe this weekend.
What's a Bed-In, I hear you ask?[link]
Well, Grasshoppah, a Bed-In is a protest conducted entirely from one's bed. It's a kind of supine sit-in, designed to create maximum media coverage without lifting a finger.
Lennon and Ono's protest concerned world peace. It's natural for anyone to think that keeping horizontal and ordering room-service could momentously change the momentum of human history. Natural for self-absorbed dicks like John Lennon, anyway.
But I like his thinking. Why create sweaty Million Man Marches or immense stinking charity concerts when all one need do to attract media attention is to check into a hotel and jump into the fart-sack?
Two things missing from this weekend's Wombat Bed-In. Actually, three.
1. A cause.
2. My own Celebrity.
3. A woman with whom to share the Bed-In (mandatory.)
If I could find a famous woman with a cause looking for publicity, I would have the answer, and quite possibly a tax deduction.
Bottoms Up, Bedriders!
