We-ing in process... stand by... - UPDATED 5-4-08 12:45 am CDT
Posted by Harvey at 03:16 PM | View blog reactions | Comments (24)

Looks like there are enough volunteers to start, but first I need to test this out with one of my alternate e-mail addresses.

Here's the live-blog:



1) Although the invite was sent out quickly, it was snagged by my spam-filter. How appropriate.

2) The link shows up in the email as http://www.wecansolveit.org/join, but actually takes you to http://www.wecansolveit.org/page/ic/idol869ruxznor/Sg9ZXA0%253D, which shows up in my browser as http://wecansolveit.org/page/s/signupmain. So many sneaky re-directs from such a truth-oriented program.

3) Oops... had to clear my cookies because the sign-up page remembered my original sign-up info. Just a hint for you new folks who want to sign yourself up 50 times to become WeLeaders and get that sweet, sweet organic cotton T-shirt.

4) Ok, I submitted my e-mail & fake name... where's my welcome e-mail?

5) ?

6) Profit

7) Ok... I guess they're checking to see if that e-mail address has already signed up ("Once a new signup is received, Sponsor will compare names against the database to ensure each new sign-up is an Eligible New-Signup").

8) While I'm waiting, I think I'll check to see if that URL is consistent... invite another me... caught in spam filter... and now it's http://www.wecansolveit.org/page/ic/wvwl8how5fscg1/ShVXUgZLFRsWWldbRBVeAApX. How delightfully random.

9) It's been over over an hour... come ON guys! Put the bong down and welcome me to the collective, already!

10) Ok, bored now... I'll update this post when something new happens...



By the way, this openly-discussed covert operation needs a cool nickname, like "ScreWE", or something. Any suggestions?

UPDATE 3:30pm CDT: To answer a question: upon sign-up, they ask for e-mail, first name, last name, and ZIP. Only the e-mail is mandatory.

UPDATE 5PM CDT: Jimmy said, "Don't know what you really expect to learn from those guys." - I don't either, but the site says that WeLeaders will have "access to behind-the-scenes information, events and tools from the We Campaign", which implies that there will be things going on that they don't want the general public to know about. I'm curious as to what the eviro-cultists are hiding. And if it's juicy, I'll share.

UPDATE 5-4-08 11:30AM CDT: I'm working my way through sending out invites. I still haven't gotten my "welcome to the collective" email from #4. If you've signed up & got your welcome e-mail, let me know.

Ya know, my biggest fear in this whole project is that "behind-the-scenes information" will turn out to be "links to stuff that's on the website", and that being a WeLeader offers nothing that isn't available to regular members.

Not that a group of hippies would ever lie to trick folks into helping pad their membership stats.

UPDATE 5-4-08 12:45PM CDT: From the WE site:

We prefer to receive your donation online to minimize environmental impact of postal mail. However, if you would prefer to send us a check or are not able to donate online, please email us and our development staff will follow up with you.

Slickest paper-trail-elimination technique I've ever seen. I'm TOTALLY using that one for my next online scam.

I think your "ScreWE" is better than what I can come up with...

Operation:

Let's Go WE

WE Peep

WE the People

WE the Peephole

I got nothing else...


#2 - Posted by: Tremor on May 3, 2008 06:13 PM

I think something like 'WEtard Infiltrator' or something else with "WEtard" would be catchy.

#7 - Posted by: Toppo Daphoudchane on May 3, 2008 10:31 PM

Wow. you will get access to tools? Maybe you can meet Al Gore.

#8 - Posted by: Burt on May 3, 2008 10:38 PM

Weebles wobble but they don't fall down.

We can be Wobblies!

#9 - Posted by: dm60462 on May 3, 2008 11:14 PM

Top Ten Things the screWEd up WEtards don't want you to know:

10) WE is actually short for wee-wee.

9) Al Gore is an alien from the planet Moron.

8) Aliens from the planet Moron are sub-space anomoly "icebergs", so only 10% of Al shows up under visible light.

7) Al Gore's sub-space alien hypnotic mind powers enable him to predict the future with over 6% accuracy.

6) Approximately 70% of the Earth's surface is covered by water. The other 30% is covered by Al Gore's waistline.

5) Al Gore chose not to run for President because he didn't want the country divided by religious nut cases.

4) Al Gore's book, "Assault On Reason", would have succeeded had it not been so easily refuted.

3) Al Gore's wife Tipper got her name from the Chippendales.

2) This comment is proof enough that the Internet was created by aliens from the planet Moron.

1) Al Gore accepted the Nobel Peace Prize because, in his words, "I love peach pies."

#9 - It's a good thing that I live alone. If anybody had heard me laughing as loud as I did for the past several minutes, I would have been committed.

Notice, everybody, I'm already using my official WE name. I'll be using it for all me WE-related comments. I suggest that you do the same.

#11 - Posted by: Precious Butterfly on May 4, 2008 10:33 AM

Harvey, I'm sure WE expect a good deal of phony membership applications and pranksterism.

And Loren, that's a funny top ten list. But I don't think inducing Friend O'Fur 'Gorebasms" on a Sunday morning is necessarily a good thing. I'm WAY too serious here this morning contemplating planting my little vegetable seeds today. Laughter just messes that up.

Oh, and if Gore is only 10% visible and he's already THAT LARGE, then holy crap...Somebody please stop feeding him!

0) Al Gore's biggest carbon footprint comes from the residue left behind by his butt.

#12 - Posted by: Jimmy on May 4, 2008 11:05 AM

'Wonder what the enviro-cultists are up to"

I can tell you that on a cost and damage basis they are the # 1 terrorist groups in the US, responsible for more bombings, more arson, and more property damage that any other terrorist group.

#13 - Posted by: TerribleTroy on May 4, 2008 11:16 AM

That Gorebasm was had on Friday night. I had a WE one this morning when actually joined!

#14 - Posted by: Friend O'Fur on May 4, 2008 02:51 PM

What got my attention was the comment that "we can put an end to climate change." I'm not a "scientist" like Al Gore, but I think that's means we would all be dead.

#15 - Posted by: J.R. on May 4, 2008 05:32 PM

I've gotten my invite...haven't replied yet, 'cause I've already had my shower for the day.

#16 - Posted by: Swamp Willow on May 4, 2008 10:50 PM

Got my invite, responded, so far nothing back. Received two invites, actually, about 15 minutes apart. Both exactly the same. (snort) Hippies.

#17 - Posted by: Joanie Macaroni (formerly EarthIsOurMom) on May 4, 2008 11:51 PM

I found my invite and confirmation exactly where they belong, in the Trash folder. I've signed up....eeewwwwwww!

#18 - Posted by: GreenyWEknee on May 5, 2008 01:31 AM

How about WEtoddid

#19 - Posted by: Mike on May 5, 2008 07:11 AM

WE are idiots?

I got nuttin.

(Bravo Harvey for keeping this thing going: WE are doers not just talkers)

I agree #12:

That should be "iceBORGS."

#12 - Posted by: Precious Butterfly on May 4, 2008 10:33 AM

As long as Harvey compiles a post that matches up the names so I know who I'm talking to.

Got signed up for my brainwashing....errrr....indoctrination...err...email today.

#21 - Posted by: Forrest Ferntree on May 5, 2008 10:30 AM

I'm late to the game and haven't seen anything yet, but I like where this is going....even if it's nowhere.

#22 - Posted by: Bonghits4polarbears on May 5, 2008 01:24 PM

I replied to we today, too. Just when I thought Mondays couldn't possibly get any worse...

Let the games begin!

#23 - Posted by: sparkle moonbeam on May 5, 2008 01:44 PM

How about "Operation Club A Baby Seal". I think it has a nice ring to it.
