So these two scripts were adapted in no time. To be frank there’s only one real script. Activist Boy was written when people got their knickers in a twist over the soldier doing the ole puppy-chuck on video. People didn’t seem to mind when tens of thousands of civilians died, or thousands of soldiers… yet one fucking puppy and the world was in an uproar.
Thus, I wrote Activist Boy.
The other was just a passive aggressive way for me to deal with people who had a hard time reading more than one page of dialog. Although it would be awesome to see it acted out, I sincerely doubt anyone has the balls.
For the curious, here is Sans Dialogue.
Now I need to sleep a bit. Might have a new video up later.

Activist Boy is fantastic. Mad isn’t it, what people prioritise?
As for Sans Dialogue… um. Point made. ;)

Well, we’re planning for tomorrow to film mushroom monarch. i would love to do sans dialogue but i dont have a rainbow ass floodlight. after reading the script and seeing the video responses with the dialog acted out exactly i decided i want to change it. just so it doesnt seem like youve seen it already before having actually seen it. i did like the ‘they live’ reference in the TV thing.
“i dont have a rainbow ass floodlight…”
You don’t?! Nicholas, what do you *do* with your weekends?!
But that’s just it. We see videos of soldiers throwing puppies off cliffs and I have to wonder what our soldiers are doing over there? I have to wonder why thousands are dying when this guys are playing around throwing puppies off cliffs. It’s not about the dog, although that’s inhumane, it just shows us what the soldiers are doing over there.
hmm .. i like the activist-script a lot, but there are a few parts which pulled me out of the experience. some reactions and dialoge felt a bit too “over the top” .. unrealistic. when reading it a second time .. i had a hard time finding them again though. for example the first time .. the first reaction on “one puppy” seemed weird .. now i think its totaly ok.
maybe it was just me, that would be good :) … first impression is what matters most though .. .. so i hope more people give you feedback.
Damn you boh3m3… this tumblr thing is too addictive!

Hem.. The puppy isn’t real. No one seems to realize that the dogs barking in the background sounds just like a track embedded into the video.. or the fact that the yipes and whimpers coming from the “dog” thrown into the distance did not fade as it was hurled off the cliff. Mkai. Thanks.
Hey the activist boy script is good, you have a knack for this type of shit. Its full of symbolism and etc… Nice work
