Thank You Bengals Fans: Billboards Will be Up for 2 months!

Well, we did it.  231 Bengals heroes donated a total of $4,560 to keep these billboards up through the regular season and into the post-season.  We are already talking to the billboard company to move them to better locations next month.  Thank you to everyone who donated and talked to their friends, family and colleagues about Project Mayhem. Click here for a full report of the press that the billboards received.

Remember, this campaign is about taking back OUR team.  We need you to keep boycotting Bengals merchandise and concessions at games (it is legal to bring in food and bottled water) and calling the Jerk Line during games on Mike Brown.

We here at WDR will continue to roll out tasks that will work to subvert Mike Brown's control of this team by disrupting the natural order of the team and by reducing his profit. 

What are your ideas for future Project Mayhem tasks?  Leave them in the comments below.

Thanks Carson. Is now fixed. Now will you please stop reading this blog and go get surgery so you are back next year?

[Carson]

wow, you are fast. thanks!

he he... i have no official comment about my desire to get the surgery done now :P

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Thank you Cincinnati (and anyone who donated) for supporting the billboards. I will not be evicted in January now!!!

Project Mayhem Idea:

Nothing new, but I suspect it would not be that difficult to organize. Get as many people as possible to where grocery bags on their heads to signify the solidarity and oneness of the revolution.

WDR representatives can submitt pictures of themselves at the games and the best decorated grocery bag gets a free t-shirt. Maybe by the end of the season the entire stadium is filled with WDR reps and they cant get around televising the revolution.

[Ben]

This is sort of a piggyback off of the previous comment. But instead of bags on heads, what if you had everyone stand with there back to the field. What would be even better if you took donations, and printed t-shirts with WhoDeyRevolution.com on the back, and gave/sell them before the last regular season home game. This ensures yourself plenty of time to prepare.

I'm really pleased with what you guys at WDR did. And, I'm really pleased with my fellow donors - even if Carson Palmer's donation of $2000 got us over the magic $4500 mark. Don't worry - our little secret, Carson.

[WhoDeyFans]

What about getting signs on the busses that tailgate. They are stored all over the city, drive around everywhere on Sunday's. I would be willing to put it on my bus.

Those automated phone calls I got during the election were pretty annoying. We could have those dial out to certain areas.

You could also do a contest of some sorts. Get people to send in pictures while wearing the t-shirts... Like in Mikes presence. Or any Bengal player presence. Those images will get some run on the net.

[WhoDeyFans]

or buses. not sure what a buss is.

[Joe]

Can we put a billboard up as close to Mike Brown's house as possible?? Maybe at the base of his driveway?

[Tyler]

A real eye-opener for Brown would be if you and your comrades filed a class-action lawsuit against him accusing him of emotional damage, false advertising, faulty product, whatever. SURELY you could find a lawyer who doubles as a Bengals fan.

[Rich]

If it is even possible, can we please bug Hamilton county about selling the naming rights to the stadium for task #4?

[Brian]

Is it me or was John London thowing WDR a bone when he said that the Bengals get 90% of game day parking?

[Brian]

I'd be up for dressing in black for gameday or having a candle light vigil Thursday night at gametime in an empty PBS to morn the loss of a great franchise.

[KGBengals]

I got another idea, how about a Major League inspired cutout of Mikey, where the WDR removes a piece of clothing for every loss, and the final reveal at the end of the season shows he has no junk.

[The Real Tyke Beasly]

Idea 1: Spread the Word
How about making up yard signs, like the millions that were out for the election, with Hire a General Manager (Or Join the Revolution) on them and passing them out (or selling them) to people leaving the stadium. And/Or organize a late night raid on Mike Brown's house and plant @ 300 of them in his yard.

Idea 2: Show Mike Brown
Hand out colored panels to a few sections of seats facing MB's box that spell out Hire A GM when held up at the same time and have someone orchestrate it several times during the game. (Although getting all of those into the stadium could pose a problem)

Idea 3: Make him aware
Start a petition. The signers will promise not to purchase season tickets next year and years to come or any concessions or merchandise this year until a GM is hired. Mail it to Mike Brown to show him how many people are serious about this.

Idea 4: Reduce TV Profits
I have no clue how to accomplish this idea. It is difficult to reduce MBs profits. You have to be a retarded monkey to not make money on an NFL team. However, a good portion of profit comes from TV coverage. If there was some way to get that taken away, he would surely feel it in his pocket book. That would suck for people like me who watch the game on TV, but you can always listen to Dave and Lap on 700.

Idea 5: Reduce Parking Profits
Park at Newport and walk across the bridge. Get some of the tailgaiter buses to run a shuttle from a parking lot that MB does not control.

[Douchebag]

Well it is clear to me, that in the spirit of revolution, you need to take Mike’s money. I recommend going big with merchandise. And I me an f*cking big. Institute and patent the answer to the terrible towel, "the big bad Bengal banner” only sell it through The Revolution, and make Mike wish it was his idea. Create a whole “Bungle Line” of clothing…Sell the Ocho Stinko Jersey like tee-shirt next to a Douchmandzadeh jersey.

[BengalsSap]

I agree with Joe about the possibility of filing a lawsuit. Was there not a promise made to Hamilton County tax payers that if they help pay to build a new stadium, Mike will supply a competitive team? Sounds like a breach of contract case to me. But didn't the county already file a lawsuit? Whatever happened there?

[jon]

MAYHEM IDEA:
Have a fundraiser to make thousands of stickers that say "Mike Brown Flush It Down" and hand them out to fans entering the stadium. Try to get every seat in the house to have an anti Mike Brown sticker on it.

[HofbrauNow]

1. Institute official "party" beverage:

WDR-branded bottled water (for taking in to the games)

Other ideas: WDR soda, WDR energy drink, WDR beer

* product Labeling should convey WDR idealogy at a glance

2. WDR cooler/lunch boxes, for taking food into the games

* again, should convey WDR's message at a glance

3. T-shirt: "Project Mayhem, Spread the Word" printed on one side, with "[numbered list of Project Mayhem's goals]" on the reverse side

4. T-shirt design, "WDR Revolutionaries": three fans/revolutionaries on the front, wearing orange and black, and wearing three cornered hats, one playing a flute, one playing drums, and one holding a WDR flag...print the phrase,

"NO MORE TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION" on the front and/or the back

[The Real Tyke Beasly]

Great Idea. "No taxation without representation." I can't think of a more appropriate revolutionary motto.

[JV]

I had enough last year, I am no longer going to support the Bengals -30 years is enough. When Mike Brown dies, which we all hope will be sooner than later or he sells the team to a competant owner. I will be back. A good GM is not enough, he needs to leave the team alone and go spend daddy's money like a good spoiled brat. The only way to make it change is to quit giving them our hard earned money. Screw em'.

[Chris Nelson]

My only idea for "Progect Mayhem" would be to simply get volunteers for the cause to set up tables at local grocery stores and malls around the area and get as many signatures as possible to sign a document basically saying that the community is tired of having the city's name and team ran through the mud by an incompetant individual who is more focused on the bottom line than the greater good.The ideal would be to get a decent percentage of the city to sign it. I live in NC and all I hear is laughter when I claim Cincinnati as my home. I'm tired of my home being a laughingstock.
