Invasion of the Teddy Bears

Did anyone read the news about the Teddy Bear Invasion of Belarus. Thouisands of Teddy Bears invaded. It has made a laughing stock out of the last dictator in Europe, causing many to no longer fear him, and some are predicting President Lukashenko will be overthrown by the end of the year as it revealed his military was powerless to stop the invasion.  All of the top Generals have been fired.  Fear the Teddy bears not the Generals is the new rallying cry of liberation fighters. What started as a stunt by a Swede with a small plane protesting the lack of free speech in Belarus, is now much more.

 

 

A DICTATOR CAN BE HATED, DESPISED OR

FEARED. THE ONLY THING HE CANNOT SURVIVE

IS BEING LAUGHED AT"

Here is a video of the Teddy Bears jumping out of a very small plane onto Belarus

 

 

Besides firing the top Generals in his military, the President has expelled the Swedish Ambassador, and is calling the pilot a homosexual from Sweden.

Pretty Cool, Pretty Innovative, and gets 5 stars from this bear.

from RT 

 

Belarusian authorities initially denied that the incident had taken place. The (now former) head of Air Force insisted the reports were a provocation by foreign intelligence services seeking to lower the morale of Belarusian people.

The denials were contradicted by a plethora of pictures and videos uploaded to the internet.

Here is a statement the head teddy bear to the press.

 

 

To the journalists that just became

interested in Belarus.

 

 

 

Anyone who knows anything about Studio Total knows that we're about the most irresponsible people there is. We cheat, we trick we break even the rules that we like. Not to mention facts like that some of us survived our youth by shoplifting. Certainly not the kind of people that should be trusted with anything serious.

 

So it came natural for us to turn to advertising. Last years we spent fine-tuning the art of getting attention and   disbelievingly watching global brands line up to shower us with cash.

 

Then one day in New York a guy told us about the murder of a human rights activist in Belarus that sort of destroyed our sipping-30$-Mai-Tais-in-Tribecca-mood.

 

"Somebody", we said "should write something about that"

Yet deep down we new that was highly unlikely. After all, we prosper in a world that writes 8000 articles about our "the-worlds-biggest iPod-dock". A world that, last month only, wrote 109 000 articles about Kim Kardashian and 79 on the belarusian opposition.

 

Then we talked some more to the guy, and as much as we love the lovely Miss Kardashian (remember, we ourselves are nothing but peasants trying to be cool in places we don't understand) we said "fuck this. Let's be really irresponsible for a change."

 

So we bought a plane and put together a campaign that our professional instinct told us had at least a tiny chance of slipping in the words "Belarus" and "free speech" somewhere between the news about iPhone 38 and Miss Kardashians cat.

 

And…oh, let's admit it. It is all just a way for us to get those Mai Thais to taste like they used to before that kill-joy started blabbering in Tribecca.

 

Now, if you read this far, you might as well check in oncharter97.org as well and catch up.

I needed to change my membr ID picture, so I took a clip of one of the protesting Teddy Bears. Hopefully it's clear, and others can still see the Teddy Bears head and his sign for Be;arusan Free Speech. Seems very approbiate for me, I do not know whay I did not do it sooner.

Select F5 to see the new pic.

 

It also seems a Teddy Bear is making news at the Olympics by winning a Gold Medal.  It is the summer laugh of Teddy Bears, when we showed the world we were much more than just plush toys to cuddle. Winning gold medals and invading countries and speaking out for change when others could not.

Not so cute that the KGB does not want them in jail.

Read the funny letter the Teddy Bear leaders wrote to the KGB \\.http://studiototal.blogspot.ca/2012/08/a-letter-to-aleksander-lukashenko.html

 

The KGB on Friday summoned three members of Studio Total — Hannah Frey and co-founders Tomas Mazetti and Per Cromwell — to explain their "illegal crossing" into Belarus. The summons threatened them with fines, six-month prison terms or "corrective labour" unless they appeared within 10 days.

The group's July 4 teddy bear stunt infuriated Lukashenko, who fired two generals over it. It also added stress to already deteriorating diplomatic relations between Stockholm and Minsk. Belarus this month effectively expelled the Swedish ambassador and ordered Sweden to close its embassy in Minsk over what Stockholm said was its push for human rights.

"Threatening someone with 'corrective' work if they don't accept your invitations is considered bad manners," the Swedish team wrote in a sarcastic open letter to Lukashenko.

The team said they had received threats by email and telephone since the teddy bear stunt and that "all trails" point to the KGB.

"To sum it up, all these small issues have made us lose our appetite to come and visit you," they wrote, suggesting instead that Lukashenko come to Sweden.

A court has given a two-year prison sentence to a border guard who failed to protect Belarus from foreign teddy bears. The Supreme Court said Monday that the guard had been convicted of failure to report an intrusion of a light plane that dropped hundreds of teddy bears strapped to parachutes into Belarus last year.

 

The court would not give the guard’s name or rank. President Aleksandr G. Lukashenko already fired several top defense officials over the July 4 incident, in which two Swedish advertising agency employees piloted a light plane into the airspace of Belarus in a show of support for the country’s human rights activists
