Sagle,
ID - Outspoken comedian Larry "Mad Dog" Fury, known for his
cringe-worthy verbal outbursts at the downtown farmers market,
publicly announced his involvement in the flyers that have been
posted all over town during the past two weeks.
On
his blog, Fury stated he had initially mailed a 19,000 word manifesto
to the daily paper, voicing his dissent over governmental
mismanagement of the enduring coronavirus clusterfuck. His submission
was rejected due to lack of space, prompting Fury to take matters
into his own hands and display printed flyers at all "essential"
businesses remaining open during the government-mandated shutdown,
such as state revenue builders like liquor stores, gas stations, and
"medical" marijuana dispensaries.
The
flyers, invoking the populace to "open their minds" and
"rise up" against the "orchestrated sham" of the
coronavirus pandemic, became widely discussed on social media
channels despite Fury warning fellow citizens to stop using such
"free" services due to profitable data harvesting gained
from the voluntary relinquishment of personal liberties that, once
taken away, are rather difficult to get back.
Fury
also used his flyers to drive home various talking points including
"the newfound divided collectivism of the people", "herd
mentality", and "the ease of which the government gained
control of everyone's lives by using a switch-based psy-op campaign
of fear mongering and rapidly changing facts." The flyers were
peppered with political phrases like "red herring" and
"black swan", and included a "then versus now"
reference to the 1997 film Wag The Dog starring Robert DeNiro and
Dustin Hoffman.
The
comedian's messages were downplayed and mocked within social media
circles, prompting an array of jokes ranging from "You know
you're crazy when" memes and excessive usage of angry-faced
emojis wearing tinfoil hats.
Fury
was also criticized for using Comic Sans font on the flyers, when a
more serious font would have gained bigger impact and more respect.
He could not be reached for comment as of press time.
