Q: How do current anti-war protests compare to other, earlier protests in this country?
TELLER: Vietnam anti-war protests were sexier than the ones operating nowadays. Nowadays it's all reason and compassion and economics and common sense. The Anti-Vietnam people were hot and everybody fucked all the time. That made their protests more eye-catching and engaging. Now the sexiest protestor is Ron Paul.
Sure, we can visualize it, but is World Peace actually attainable? Join us as we take a look at activists from Sheen to Sheehan.
We wondered exactly how effective the UN is, so we sent our crack investigation team there. They’ll take you behind the secretive walls of the United Nations in NYC, and then tear them down (metaphorically, of course).
We also drop in on some Code Pink anti-war activists for some…some chicken enchiladas? Weird. But at least they didn’t serve a side order of whirled peas. We’ll also speak to a “was is necessary” Code Pink hater, whose probably just mad she wasn’t invited over for the enchiladas. And we armed 9-year-old Nikki with some hard-hitting questions for the “man on the street.”
So if you think you know your Sheen from Shinola, check out "World Peace."
Q: As a kid, I was told to wait an hour before swimming after a meal. Do you remember anything like this from your childhood?
TELLER: "Stay away from 'that man.'" There was a poor old schmo who used to take walks in the neighborhood I grew up in. My guess now is he was a widower on a low budget, since his clothes looked a bit frayed. He wore a Brooklyn cap and a raincoat. This proved to all the parents of the neighborhood that he was a child killer and we kids all loved to scream and run from him, on the assumption that he would catch and eat us. I suppose he must have enjoyed that, since he made the same rounds every day. Or maybe he never noticed.
