In a peculiar but perhaps inevitable "final" evolution of the seminal Human Be-In from the Summer of 1967, Iowa City bore witness to a Die-In last night.
The event, sposored by the UI Antiwar Committee, drew 100-150 people. Casualty figures were not released.
I could not help but wonder if the group drew inspiration from the execution of similar tactics in Monty Python's Life of Brian. Sadly, no veterans of the Judean People's Front Crack Suicide Squad could be reached for comment.
Note: by visiting the link you can see that this was an actual event, i.e., this is NOT from the Onion. The difference between gravitas and parody can, indeed, be the trembling of a leaf.
Lastly, I assure you that I never intended this Blog to be a forum for publicizing odd protests (see previous post); just a lucky coincidence I guess!
