2009 Teabagging Championships

All across America Wednesday, viewers of a certain news channel named after an animal gathered to express their fervent belief that if you are angry about something, the best way to express that anger is to engage in group teabagging. If you're outraged, if you're mad as hell and you aren't going to take it anymore, if you're, well, how did Tina put it? "This teabagging movement is still trying to win a presidential election that someone else has already won!" Yeah, that's it. If you're all of those things, teabagging is definitely for you (especially if you don't look up the word).

All of these rallies were highly spontaneous events that sprung from the grass-roots, otherwise known as "two well-financed political activist groups and one cable news channel that is named after an animal." The news channel denied involvement despite having aired advertisements disguised as news stories, like this:

Here's the thing. If you want to be taken seriously, you protest through proper channels. If you only want to be seen on TV, you wear ridiculous outfits and print up huge signs. Can you imagine the founding fathers marching around in huge foam hats shaped like barrels of tea? Or Patrick Henry with a huge sign "GIVE ME LIBARTY OR GIVE ME DETH?" Maybe Jefferson with a "No TACKSATION WITHOT REPERSENTASHIN" T-shirt? Publicity stunts are not protests, and anyone that takes these idiots seriously should be HUNGED BY THERE TOW NALES.
