Burners at the Million Moderate March? Come on... at least make it funny

Some thoughts came to mind as I heard about Abraxas and her crew coming by the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Keep Fear Alive. To be fair, I woud love it, and would totally get into the action as much as possible. I'm just a freak like that. However, I don't think it's appropriate in this context for a few reasons.

1. Some of the tag lines used by John Stewart as been: "Take it down a notch", "I'm with reasonable", and "Think of our event as Woodstock, but with the nudity and drugs replaced by respectful disagreement".
2. What is the point of bringing a 100 odd foot dragon to the rally? What is it supposed to achieve? does it actually advance any concept or idea that adds to the debate?
3. It's just not funny enough.

The first two are pretty self-explanitory, but let me hit on point 3 a bit here...

What woud have been really great would be that instead of a dragon, it cold be a giant Grizzly Bear. Now that would work and be funny. It works on two levels. The first being part of the Daily Show's midterm election bumper which has "When Grizzlies Attack" as part of it. Second, it works ith one of Steven Colbert's 5 fears: Gays, Mexicans, Muslims, robots and bears. Since the bear would be made of metal, you can give SC a double whammy and call it a robotic bear. Then, everyone who travels with the giant robotic bear can also dress up as any of the 5 fears and be a part of the show.

Alas, it's just people doing things that could work in many situations, but are just becoming a sad sideshow.
