Ever wanted to be involved in the peace movement, but not even leave your own home? Well, this time around, you can. It's come to my attention that while the music video \"Boom\" by System of a Down gets some airtime on the Canadian music station Muchmusic, it gets virtually none on America's music channels, MTV and M2. If you haven't seen the video yet, it was directed by Michael Moore (of Bowling for Columbine fame) and covers the worldwide anti-war protests of February 15th. It is rumored that the MTV staff has decided to block out all music videos relating to the war. By calling in requests for this video, you are being civilly disobedient, by forcing true American opinion on the American media. Forward this mail to all your friends, and we're sure to see results. The Bush Administration may have started the battle, but we're going to end it!
