things have gotten pretty slow this summer, seeing as there hasn't been too much public fuckery, the bloggers have slowed down.
so I decided to take another route, and blog about some past LULZ that the SFUO
has provided
linked to some of the SFUO promo videos, (the videos are as funny as paula poundstone) is one of the old YES CFS campaign videos. if you want to waste a few minutes of your day, dare I say click "this" link.
I understand that it wasn't the SFUO that made these videos, it was the OUI/YES campaign.
but to pretend that the SFUO didn't have a part in the yes campaign, is like turning a blind eye to a senior citizen falling down a set of stairs, you can't ignore it no matter how much piss and shit is sprayed on the walls on the way down.
unlike jean-sorphia guillaume, the yes campaign was able to get kanye west to provide a back track for the video. wasn't to expensive for them I guess, all the no campaign could get was the guy on rideau street who plays the pan flute to prerecorded synth tracks. OMG JEAL.
the video opens up with what seemingly seems to be thousands of students (its actually just looped footage of the crowd sped up, so it looks like thousands. fail) ascending upon parliament, ft. guy fawkes. (street cred.)
diverging away from the video for a second, really my little student leaders? drop fees. how long has this magnitude 10 fuckery been going on for? and where has it gotten you? ill show you
|| this far. (to scale)
these sheep think that yelling and holding signs is going to get you somewhere, hell no it doesn't. if anything it makes you ignore whats being presented even more. nobody likes being yelled at through a megaphone, and lame ass cheers about how you are scraping by on kraft dinner.
fuck than, don't go away for school, don't drink, budget. you got yourself into this situation, you knew it was coming.
instead of putting money into a campaign that has gotten us no where, why not put it into something that would help students. why not provide a service to help students budget their spending and money. start up a book pool. fuck i should be on the sfuo. but again they don't like campaigns that only effect our school. it has to be something global that isn't really relavent at all. (and this year, it must involve haiti.)
end divergence damit.
we move onto the testi monials.
if students actually watched this high budget movie, and actually listened to the hollow points presented, I can only imagine the voting would have been a little different.
opirg dude - generalizations to the max. campaigns have been working. major impact. we have been getting discounts. tution freeze, tuition reductions.
WHAT WHERE WHO HUH.
what campaigns? how have they been working? how have they made a major impact in my life.
people in student politics need to understand that the average student is not going to give two shits about it. 99.9% of students probobly can't name a campaign that CFS has.
what discounts have we been getting? the flimsy plastic student saver cards? I was so surprised that nobody called them on their posters saying that the cards were free. you can buy them at travel cuts for around 18 dollars, our cfs membership costs are 14 dollars. we save 2 dollars right? wrong. you pay these fees every single year. add them up, you are paying more to be part of CFS than you would have actually buying the card with your one eye open mugshot on them.
who is this WE that has been getting tuition freezes? I haven't got one. who are the WE who have been getting tuition cuts? not I. tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies.
CFS needs to stop claiming they are the sole reason for anything to do with lowering tuition. for fuck sakes they will take credit if Ghandi is rises from the dead.
legit.
becky beer comb. cfs turned no means no into a bigger national wide campaign.
buttons and posters don't make something a legit campaign. a campaign has substance, a campaign makes change. I have yet to see anything come of this, other than no means no buttons taking up 1/4th of the free button bucket outside the sfuo.
julie julie julie: as a franco-ontarian woman i feel represented by the cfs.
wait. you are kidding me right? you, julie, as a member of the sfuo, feel the need to join CFS because as a WOMAN and a FRANCO-ONTARIAN they represent you.
basically you are degrading your own student federation you work for, in saying that to be properly represented you need to join CFS, because the SFUO can not, has not, done that for you.
lets just take a second and take that all in.
LULZ right?! now update that website, you franco-ontario woman you.
brown fabio: if you like lower tution fees, or want lower tuition fees. vote yes.
fuck thats like saying
if you like big dick, and want a big dick, vote yes.
you can wish and wish. but your dick is not going to grow that extra inch.
you can not compare apples to apples.
the ginger kid: 500,000 is alot stronger than 30,000.
cut the crap. your telling me, that every single student at every university is completely involved with student matters at their university. nu-ho. the real number should be cut in half at least, if not down to 100,000. I understand you can say the same about UOttawa, but how are people from other universities going to help us fix our problems on our campus. They aren't.
ROOOOOOOOOOOXXXXXXxaaan: She is not wearing a red dress. UofO students have their place in the only Bilingual student Organization.
The SFUO is bilingual.
Tweedle Dee, and Tweedle Dum: Say yes to student groups, lower tuition, change, student movement.
Stop trying to seduce me with your bedroom eyes dammit. Sadly it doesn't make up for your lack of knowledge and progression of thought.
You just stated 3 things that the SFUO can provide, and 1 being unobtainable by the SFUO or even CFS.
And thank you Yes campaign, for leaving me 4 whole minutes to be able to write down, admire, contemplate each voting station listed. Sometimes its so hard for me to clearly read something in a video that is displayed for less than one whole minute. It really caters to the stoner in me, giving me ample time to read.
Each of these points were as hollow and as useless as the next. You built yourself up on a ladder of straw that could easily crumble with one more pile of shit on top. It clearly illustrated the biased the SFUO and the YES campaign had, by clearly showing two SFUO members stating their position on the referendum, if they were neutral they wouldn't and shouldn't have been allowed to state their position. And thankfully, with those lengthy four minutes of being able to read, and re read the poling stations you are able to notice the lack of stations in all arts buildings, the no campaigns major supporters.
View this video with or without a bias, and you can easily see whither you are pro or against, that the facts provided by the YES side, and people in these videos are as invisible as Kevin Bacon.
untill than, Don't think I've forgotten, you never liked that necklace.

three - br.eak. ing d-ow.n the bl()g
disclamer: this is a real blog entry. I didn't make this shit up
iblogsfuo
"After spending a weekend in Toronto with the student leaders of different campuses across Ontario, I came to a very important realization : the students at UofO who voted against CFS during the referendum were hugely mistaken."
if this is what you consider a very important realization. you must live quite the simple life.
that realization is in the same category as realizing there is a period at the end of this sentence*
"We're all incredibly fortunate to have this organization in our lives. One of the main arguments for the "no" committee was the fact that we've already had successes at our campus without their help so why should we pay more money?
The answer to this was that we were lucky to win against the Code of Conduct in April '08."
OMG SO LUCKY. now with CFS we have buttons, and banners and sticks with signs! what would we do without them!? our message could possibly get through alot better without yelling, and wasting money, but rather a more civil way where people would actually sit down and listen. but nobody wants that. (i like the expensive white kraft dinner, please.)
"This weekend, I was invited to attend the annual Skills Symposium, along many people at the SFUO. There were different workshops throughout the weekend ranging from "How to run an effective meeting" to "How to sign a contract without getting fucked-over". I had the most amazing weekend in a long time because of the lack of discrimination, complaints, and hate."
i googled "how to run an effective meeting" and got "this"
i googled "How to sign a contract without getting fucked-over" couldn't find a thing.
pretty revolutionary stuff they've got going for them.
"Are you surprised that the CFS is not a "hippy" organization? In fact, their main purpose is to represent ALL students no matter their race, gender, sexual orientation, progam, etc. And believe it or not, but 90% of the students who attended the Skills Symposium were average people - not pot-smoking hippies."
the sfuo and cfs must be like ... twins or something because thats what the sfuo does too! THANK GOD FOR CFS WE WOULD BE IN THE DARK AGES WITHOUT THEM. our campus would be full of straight white male heterosexuals.
and also that last 10% is pot smoking hippies right?
"Next time you decide to campaign against a union like this, I urge you to attend something that they put on... you'll be greatly mistaken because you will see how hard these people work to try and reduce tuition fees or even eliminate campus racism.
All they are doing is helping you."
extreme LOLZ, thank god for the word try in there, otherwise BRIX WUD B SHAT.
untill than, think of me, think of me fondly.
*you just came to a really important realization. there was no period.

two - the fail
fail @fedforthought
"Leaderaction/Arts Retreat is good for inter-executive bondage, and for general learnins, but not for making any plans nor any progress"
it's like, a fat kid writing about wiping his own ass. you should clearly write on a subject you have at least experienced before scrutinizing.
the very first round tables are held at both these retreats. I guess they are just for mapping out the latest trends and possibly trying to figure out what is going to be hot in winter '10, and to plan the crusades.
"Kudos to the ESS and to the CSSA who had such planning sessions last weekend."
blog entry, june 10, 2009, if so than these meetings took place june 6-7th.
mandates started may 1st.
good job highlighting the fail. maybe you should be pointing out executives that have had meetings more than once these past two months.
waaaaaahhhhwahhwahh.
untill than, tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies.
