McDonald's and NYPD launch Three Strikes, You're In!

[iOWNme]

Ummm.....Im speechless. The NYPD and McMonsantoes are teaming up for a 'Stop and Frisk' program. But theres more. Every time you are randomly stopped and frisked, it gets logged into a Police database. After getting stopped 3 times, YOU WIN A FREE CRAPPY MEAL!

This is NOT a parody.

"Last year over 600,000 people were stopped and frisked. A technique that helps insure the safety of the city in these tough economic times. Stop and Frisk helps get over 100 guns off of the street each year and keeps NY'ers feeling safer. Surprisingly, a large number of NY'ers who were stopped and frisked, turned out to be innocent."

Over 100 guns in a city of 10+ million. uh, not a great number there NYPD. Does keep the boys in blue with a paycheck.

but how many happy meals did they give away? How can you be sure the database is correct? Computer says 2 times when you know it was 3. Where's the umpire in all this? Is there a Frisk Reward Arbitrator? I can see a lot of people getting stiffed for their happy meals. There'll be trouble. Mark my words.

What do you expect from a city with a Nazi for a Mayor with a pet bulldog yesman for police commissioner and a police force loaded with thugs on the take. I know: I have several family members who are and were NYC cops and after hearing their stories, I lost all respect for "New York's finest." That's one of the reasons I hightailed out of NYC in 1990. The other reason is that it's an overpriced cesspool of humanity.

That's better.

Yes it is. It's a parody from "The Yes Men".





Three Strikes, You’re In is a press relations stunt. But Stop and Frisk is a bigger press relations stunt. People in New York talk about ideas like broken windows policing, but what we want them to do is to consider what it does to a younger person’s mind to know that they’re targeted any time they leave their homes. How does that impact our society?
This is a project with the Yes Lab, run by the Yes Men. They’re teaching activists how to do what’s called ‘culture jamming’, where the idea is to create some kind of stunt, or hoax, if you will, that will attract enough attention that the media will want to go more into the story.

This portion is not part of the parody. Listen to the audio of a man being randomly assaulted.

Looks like the McDonalds portion is not true, but the Stop and Frisk program is. Good call....
