Project Mayhem
So, my friends and I have started distributing little business cards that say something along the lines of,
<!--c1--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->You are not the contents of your wallet.
You are not the clothes you wear.
You are not your grande latte.
Open your eyes
<email address><!--c2--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->
We've been putting them in public places for about a week now, and the other day we got a hit on the email address I set up. The back and forth messages are as follows:
<!--QuoteBegin- Him+--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> ( Him)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->I found your card at an ATM when I was at my local mall. I completely agree with your card.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
<!--QuoteBegin- Us+--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> ( Us)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->You have expressed resentment to the consumer aspects of society. We
respect you for that, but we must ask the question: are you willing to
do something about it and open the eyes of others? Our society is in
its current degraded state because of its own consumerism. The fallacy
that we must buy endlessly to find some truth in our lives. To give
our existence a name. Consumers.
Project Mayhem was first concieved by Chuck Palaniuk in his book,
Fight Club. Since the movie came out, Project Mayhems have manifested
themselves in cities across the country. Our mission is simple: to
show people their consumerist nature, and how it destroys them. Are we
over-reacting? Are we over-zealous? Think about it. People are defined
on what they buy. Their identity depends on what clothes they wear,
their car, how much money they have in the bank.
Welcome to the apocalyptic world of the Krispy Kreme and Caramel
Frappuccino. Should you choose to take part in Project Mayhem, you
will be given assignments. These assignments are to be fulfilled
without question. Most of these assignments will be small, seeming
like mere pranks. But we have many members active, and our efforts
will be felt. You may never understand the importance of your
involvement as you will recieve no reward for the assignments you
complete. Only the satisfaction of knowing you helped lead society
away from consumerism.
Keep in mind, no one will ever be hurt by any mission we assign. We
mean to make people aware of what society has become, not resort to
violence. Violence has its place, but to achieve our goals, no one
must get hurt. It is your choice. Reply with a simple "yes" or "no."
If you do not reply shortly we will assume you want no part in Project
Mayhem, and your e-mail address will be deleted from our database. You
will not be contacted by us again. This is real. Are you in or out?<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

You got your whole life to be a holier-than-thou activist, why not wait a few years?
Even if no one would be hurt you're fooling with a bunch of strangers to proform vandalism. It probably isn't such a good idea.
The ultimate irony here would be if you asked him to buy a Project Mayham T-shirt to spread the message.

SO what exactly do you guys plan on doing for these missions, considering all the "missions" did in the movie involved defacing or destroying other peoples stuff?
or tell them to assassinate important political figures...
or... tie themselves to trees to prevent deforestation!
Seconded.
It's unfair to that guy that you haven't planned things out further. Go come up with brilliant ideas while you still can.
**EDIT**
And please. <i>Please</i>. Have some respect for a guy willing to say yes to that. I mean there's no way you know he'd follow through with any of it, but nonetheless, you should really think things through.
Tell the guy to spray-paint "Consumer ****" on the side of the J. Edgar Hoover building and see what he says. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Amen. Its absurd, the conformity of the anti-conformist...
Not to look too deep into things... but you have no idea who you're working with. As above mentioned (but far fetched) could be a FBI agent, or it could be a serial killer, or could be some psychotic intraverted world-hating weak-minded terrorist who would be more than willing to do any crime or damage to people / property because you're giving him what he feels is a legitimate reason for such rash actions.
Seriously... stop it. Messing with people like that isn't cool.
[Well, if that's not the intention; maybe it'd make a suitable 'job' for your new 'associate'...have him make a garden of weeds.]

Because films are mindless drivel that we should take no influence from. Books, meanwhile are our gods which should be worshipped.

Man, don't start giving that the credit of deliberate thought.

To me it seems like he is the one playing the prank. *Watches SA-GBS for 'lol this retard thinks fight club is real'*.

That could very well be the case.

String him along, catch him on camera burning a giant smiley face onto the front of a skyscraper with industrial acid, then dob him in.
