Adventures in Reverse Psychology

Post by Ayaan » Sun Jun 17, 2012 6:40 pm

Book-lovers fight back against Tea Partiers in Troy, Michigan to save a beloved town library that will close unless the town approves a miniscule tax increase. An ingenious campaign changes the conversation and puts the focus where it belongs - on the often unforeseen consequences of dumb actions. And the good guys win. Even in these times, it seems, nobody wants to be part of a town that burns books.

Of course reverse psychology works.

But it's usually with children, to get them to eat. ( don't you DARE eat that cabbage !! )

I'm surprised adults fell for it though.
While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.
