"Caped Crusaders" release biting satirical online ad series.
http://www.capedmaskedandarmed.com/video
According to the authors of CampedMaskedandArmed.com "All the Television Commercials have somehow gotten mixed up. Now people are going to see things that make them very uncomfortable and not want to buy stuff. All that carefully crafted public relations work is ruined! This is quite a predicament. Must be those confounded caped crusaders at work again"
"Caped Crusaders" release biting satirical online ad series. http://www.capedmaskedandarmed.com/video According to the authors of CampedMaskedandArmed.com "All the Television Commercials have somehow gotten mixed up. Now people are going to see things that make them very uncomfortable and not want to buy stuff. All that carefully crafted public relations work is ruined! This is quite a predicament. Must be those confounded caped crusaders at work again" It certainly seems to be the case. The "Caped Crusaders" as they have so comicbook-ishly dubbed themselves, have been hard at work in their underground lair (or maybe in the back room at some major ad firm, one wonders) crafting wonderfully satirical commercials. The ads are based on TV spots from the US Air Force, Army and National Guard, just to name a few. One of the favorites seems to be a bit on Chef-Boyardee Ravioli, with the catchiest theme this side of the "It's a Small World" ride at Disneyworld. Another is a play on Fox News and the Matrix. A bit of delving into the site revels the CapedMaskedAndArmed.com "is dedicated to the revelation of the hidden and the unspinning of the spun. So beware all you ad companies, PR firms and other zombie-makers. We will break your trance by educating the hordes, teaching them to laugh their way out of your deadly misinformation matrix." Many of the spot are being featured in the Gadabout Film Festival which is currently crisscrossing the USA. So check out the newest/latest Adbusters style culture jamming at: There is much more dissent based fun to be had at: http://www.capedmaskedandarmed.com/video Peace and Love, Crrawl

Still lying to everyone that you're a SEAL?
You should try hanging out down here in the jungles by Mitu.
It's quite nice.

Also I need to clarify....You said you were in Team 6, right?

He's not in Columbia. Look at the time stamp on his last two posts. Columbia is three hours ahead of Pacific time. utterfailure posted at 10pm (1am in Columbia) and before than at 1:40am (4:40am) Columbian time. Keepin' some long hours in the jungle, eh Enrique?
Our dear friend utterfailure's real is Enrique. He knows it and I know it. He's not in Mitu, he's in Alicante, Spain just southwest of Barcelona. He's a student at the University. And he's a punk as bitch and a liar.
Now Enrique, tell everyone that I'm full of shit. After all, you've got my info (or so you claim) so you should know my whole military career. What teams I was attached, where I was deployed, how I got my Navy Commendation Medal, etc. Feel free to share with my friends here at IMC...

You wouldn't last two seconds outside a Hampton Inn without room service, much less a jungle.

Check this internet website on how to detect
FAKE SEALS
it was funny to see that "eric" violated a few of the fake SEAL rules.
http://www.authentiseal.org/howtospot.htm
They had no records of a person named
eric greene of colorado springs colorado
ever being a SEAL.
How to spot a Phony SEAL
(as outlined on the Naval Special Warfare Archives homepage)
1. He's wearing camouflage clothing decorated with multiple patches, ribbons, and tridents.
2. When asked for his class number, says he didn't have to go through training...went straight to SEALs from Marines, Air Force, etc.
3. When asked what Team he was in, says Team 6 (everybody wants to be in Team 6).
4. When asked for names, places, dates, etc., the wannabe says it's top secret, still classified.
5. Claims to have been a POW, or his entire platoon was wiped out and he was captured.
6. Talks about his medals, maybe even the Medal of Honor (SEALs don't talk about their medals).
7. He can't remember the name of his swim buddy, commanding officer, or platoon officer.
His name should be posted on the website shortly
as a SEAL impostor.

You learn to live with irregular electric service very quickly. Kind of peaceful really. Beer gets warm though - so you don't want it out all the time.
And then there is the heat. It's not so much the temperature but the humidity. Take a shower and 15 minutes later you're ready for another.
You learn to shake your shoes out before putting them on. And then you look to make sure everything did come out.
But then of course to hear my detractors I have never been near anything like that.
ROFL!!!

Point 1. Columbia in general is usually 3 hours ahead of PST. Except they dont follow daylight savings time (so it is only 2 hours ahead) ==its now 5:55 am
Seems like a SEAL TEAM 6 member would know somthing as simple as this.
And....? What does my time stamp have to do with anything?
Point 2. The "friend of S.F." post, I have no idea who that is. (But you did qualify for MORE THAN ONE VIOLATION).
Point 3. I keep strange hours in the jungle. Yes I do.
It's pretty isolated out here, and you have to keep kind of a low profile. I check my email and other things (among Indymedia) at odd times. And?
Thanks Dio,
It's pretty amazing out here.
We have been on the Vaupes river for a few days and are heading south towards the Negro river.

I wasn't on Team 6. I was on Team 2 for six years. Close, but not cigar, Enrique. 6 isn't that great a team anyway. Just a lot of hype because of Marcinko. In my opinion, Marcinko is full of shit.
You're right, I stand corrected. Two hours difference right now. That would have put you posting to IMC at 3:40am. Hmmm. Long hours. Yep.
As far as any rules, some of those are true and some aren't. For instance, SEALs don't wear regalia or insignias on their field uniforms. But we certainly do talk about our medals, occasionally.
Anyway Enrique. You've got a great imagination. That's why I like you (wink wink).

Sometimes we had to do some despicable things to deliver our packages or to neutralize our targets. Such is the way the game is played. Unconventional warfare is a bitch. I prefer to think that we saved lives through the use of decisive force.
And I'm proud of the fact that I was good at that, too.

Some thoughts..
I believe I learned through a pailful process the meaning of love.
Not to want to see or hear or know of behind walls or miles the
whimpering of a soul in pain. My problem, I know.
Once joined to the winds I felt it in Utah under a steel bright
sky sitting on a mesa with the bristle cones.
I can't explain it in words, only in reaction to it.
I would hurt less if there was less pain to feel. I've
gotten angry. We must change or we are in for a
'world o hurt' and you know it if you aren't rolling shit cigaretts on your drive bys.
Your posts reflect mostly a desire to ride in with the bad big boys.
They are bad and we both know the deep manipulations our intelligence agencies bring in. You don't remember Vietnam, pup. Enjoy yer coffee cause it's always a good day
when you got some kids sleeping peacefully in their safe beds and be able to wake them up for summer school.
It's all about them. ( spare me your that's why I was here rant, cause we both served our masters. Hell I even trained them for slaughter.) Don't you believe with less motivations by greedy people in power my kids would be safer? As for dieing, geeez not without a path to Vallhalla on the great mounds of the bleeding corpses of the ones who tried.
That reminds me, time for some ken jitso; enjoy your coffee, Eric. I'll be back.

I’ve ridden with the big boys. And I’ve ridden with the underdogs. I ride with who’s right. More times than not, I ride alone.
Ain’t nuthin’ perfect. And a master is only chief as long as we say so. That’s how it works.
Love? I don’t know much about that. A bunch of distinguishable emotions all scrunched up, repackaged and labeled. I’ve had mesa moments too. Got to take the good with the bad, that’s just life.
And coffee? It’s the best. Warm, thick, and gets your head clear. Nectar of the gods, no doubt. Little things matter.

Muito bom Enrique! That's pretty good time you made traveling down the Negro river from Mitu, eh? What did that take? A week!
That was slower than Christopher Reeves on roller blades.
I realize the Negro is full of raging rapids and all (not), but come on, a week? Get with the show, Enrique.
Still keeping long hours I see, even in Manaus. Shifted timezones too. What time was it when you posted that last comment? 5am?
That's pretty flattering there utterfailure, that the first thing you do when you get out of bed in the morning is boot up your laptop with satellite connect and post a message on IMC for little old me. Most people usually just get up, take a piss, brush their teeth, shave and get dressed. I try to work a 4 mile run into that routine about 5 mornings a week, but I'm more of an exception to the rule.
YOU, well you get up and write your pen-pal. How sweet. I'm blushing.
I should be ashamed though, cause I don't start thinking about you until around 8:30 or so during my morning cup-o-joe. I tell you what though, I'll make it up to you. When you get back from your fantasy rain forrest adventrure, drop me a note and I'll take you out for a trip that's really in the thick that you won't soon forget.
Ciao Enrique.
