It looks like the natives are getting restless….
A website called Kissmygasprotest.com just sprouted, they are promoting so called ‘rolling gas outs’ (not buying gas from a particular brand) and other ways to try to minimize the pain at the pump. But by the look of their FAQ:
* WILL THIS CAMPAIGN LOWER GAS PRICES? – We’d be very surprised if it did.
* WHAT DOES THIS CAMPAIGN DO EXACTLY? – Well, besides making you feel like you have a voice and the power to protest, it allows the country to unite on a single issue and collectively protest the price of gas.
* WHAT IS A ROLLING GAS OUT – A term we coined to explain the effect of boycotting a different brand of gasoline each month on a national level.
* WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS? – Because like you, we felt helpless at one time and wanted to come up with a way to encourage Americans to use less gasoline but also give them the opportunity to protest in a way that wouldn’t create further hardships.
* WHAT ARE THE SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM EFFECTS FROM A CAMPAIGN LIKE THIS? – Well, that depends on the American people. If we band together in large enough numbers, this campaign over time can significantly impact the amount of profits Big Oil makes. On the short term end, you’ll feel better knowing that you’re part of a concerted effort to protest gas prices. C’mon, doesn’t KISS MY GASS! bring a smile to your face. At any rate, anything is worth a try at this point. Wouldn’t you agree?
* WHO IS THE TARGET OF THIS CAMPAIGN? – Big Oil and an Incompetent Administration.
it seems that this is just another way to bitch and complain about gas prices but not really DOING a serious thing about it. I really love the term ‘helpless’, oh we poor, poor victims of BIG oil.
Instead of Kiss my gass how about Gas Sucks, ride a bike….
