Well. The question is who is the audience? "CCC" (who ever that is) references
Discordianism every now and then (Robert Anton Wilson blah blah Karl Koch
blah), and satire+activism featured in several more artsy talks in the past.
Other than that, there's always been groups of people disliking subgroups and
their way of doing $stuff at congress/camp events.

I'm personally saddened by reaction of the queerfeminist village crowd (and I'm
sure it's not all of them btw), despite understanding where they are coming
from. I'm very certain that that's the exception though, and not the rule.
Given that our villages are right next to each other though, the mockup up
there might not be the best idea to put up *cough*

M, all in favour of more silly/whimsy
