LIBERALISM!
This isn't art ["Death Cabaret for Cutie"]. Have you been to the website? This is indoctrination. The articles are recruting [sic] people who are depressed and unsatisfied with their lives, like the terrorists do. What the hell does a performance troupe need a hypnostist [sic] for? Did you see the sublimnal [sic] messages in their party invatation [sic]? This isn't art. It's a cult.
The article says that we need more brains, less brawn [A Million Stories, Sept. 16, 2010]. Yes, but we need a lot of brawn, too. When the plumbing goes or the roof leaks, we don't need overeducated people. It is becoming harder and harder to find competent workers in these areas, and people need to be trained to do these types of jobs. There are always going to be people who will not be good at the educational system and they deserve a chance to succeed also.
In a recent cover story ["Hall of Secrets," Holly Otterbein, Sept. 9, 2010], we incorrectly stated that the city took down an online database of restaurant inspection violations. In fact, the database moved to the state's Department of Agriculture site. City Paper regrets the error. The online version of this story has been altered to reflect this correction.
I don't agree with the undertakings of "Swellco & Swellco," I'm really tired of people just trying to be shocking because they can't think of anything else to keep people's attention. I don't think it's liberalism or indoctrination...it's distasteful, but its not some liberal plot to invoke godlessness in our children. That's just blind reactionary stupidity
Oh,yes,teaparty,please take are country BACK![sic]Back to the times of old,back to the times of censorship,slavery and sheep herding.
We can not let Swellco&Swellco infect our minds with playful,bloody,tits,guns and fun to your face..! If Swellco takes over the world there will be no room for the Teaparty and Big Brother to whore out Jesus and sway the weakend masses!
Stop Swellco before it's too late!
:brought to you by a swellco&swellco goon..there's more of us then you know,,we could be sitting next to you on the train. happy travels ;)
Art is expression and Swellco is about expressing yourself. They just happen to express themselves in a way other than humping a bible.
Hey Steve and Dave, why don't you grow a pair watch some dead hookers shake it and enjoy yourself, or go back to your closet hang up your mega phone and let the kids have fun.
Swellco is about enjoying your life while you live it. And truly live life at that. Not just living and existing but making something of it and affecting others while you're at it.
Swellco opens eyes whilst you close them!
No one's forcing anyone to go to the site.
No one's indoctrinating anyone.
Why are you *so* upset? It seems a touch, rabid. You'd be great as a Swellco and Swellco guest.
You know what? Screamers gave the reaction ART craves. You either love it or hate it. It's funny to watch people squirm though.
Has anyone done their research at all? I never thought I would say that a letter by a tea bagger would be closer to accurate than the response by jaded hipster, but that seems to be the case when it comes to Swellco & Swellco. Otterbein had a rare chance to get into the very disturbed mind of Robert Brown and instead wrote a fluff piece about biting chicken heads. I met Brown several years ago when he bartended at 1601. He is a real life egomaniac Tyler Durden covered in tattoos of sideshow characters, a charismatic psychopath. As the story goes, he is a smart business professional who had a mental breakdown years ago and jumped off the grid. Guess how I know this? I asked. He is completely scary in his apocalyptic ranting once you get him talking. If Otterbein had taken even a moment to delve into what's behind all of this, she could have written an amazing article that would have spurred more of a debate than wether fake blood is passe, or giving tea baggers another over simplified knee jerk. While it is art, it's also very likely that it's indoctrination. Parents really should lock up their children, the ranting supporters on this comment board attest to that as much as the tea bagger concerns.
