VIDEO: Anti-war veterans deploy 4,171 toy soldiers at gas station

By GottaLaff

Deeeee-lish, especially on the heels of this.


This video is from IVAW.org, posted Nov. 11, 2008.
In a daring guerrilla raid earlier this fall, members of the Los Angeles chapter of Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) infiltrated a local gas station to deploy a battalion of 4171 toy soldiers, together with a sign reading, "Price of Gas: 4171 U.S. Soldiers."

The project was initiated by designer Andrew Wilcox, who served as art director, and photographer and former marine Jonas Lara. According to Wilcox, it also involved "6 Iraq War Veterans who wish to remain anonymous." [...]

[T]he video is also gaining notice from right-wing sites, one of which suggested caustically, "These wannabe jihadists are members of the moonbat cult Iraq Veterans Against the War. Here they put their military skills to use as best they are able by arranging toy soldiers in front of gas pumps to express their dog-eared and cretinous motto, No War for Oil. Good thing these clowns aren't over in Iraq, where they could get themselves and (more importantly) real soldiers hurt."
Um, they were in Iraq, you "clowns". That's what "Iraq Veterans" means. How's about you?

Coolness on a stick! Obama: The gas station

By GottaLaff

UPDATE: Apparently, I'm a week late on this one. Did Paddy already post it? [Update: Yes, and I didn't realize it was the same place.] Bucky linked me to the video.

We heart Detroit! The photos are via a message board that linked to us. Click on each to enlarge:

Happened across this place early this morning. Took pictures. If you are in the Detroit area and want Obama Gas, it's at Plymouth and Wyoming:
