Demonstrate for unicyclism! ACT UP!

unicyclism: A social theory or political movement supporting the equality of people who unicycle, in all aspects of public and private life; specifically, a theory or movement that argues that social restrictions on unicyclists must be removed in order to bring about such equality, and that organizations that conspire to keep unicyclists “in the closet” must be confronted (Wiktionary).

Unicyclist is the name for a person who supports unicyclism.

Unicyclists are tired of being treated like second class citizens. Unicyclists are tired of being told NO by organizations like the Olympic Committee, Guinness World Records, syndicated televised sports shows, and many others.

We demand equal recognition. At the next NAUCC, there will be demonstrations planed in front of newspapers and television stations who do not cover the Opening Ceremonies. For 2009, world wide demonstrations are planed in front of the Guinness Office Building, the Olympic Committee Office, Wide World of Sports, and a number of other locations.

If we can get the permit, a bike burning is planned.

Already, you have seen photos of the growing movement. Parades of unicyclists wearing signs saying: I AM A HUMAN and NO ONE IS FREE AS LONG AS UNICYCLISTS ARE OPPRESSED and ONE IS ENOUGH!

We are collecting documentation of this, including anecdotal. If you invited press or syndicated TV to a unicycling event and got no response or a documented “we’re not interested,” let us know. If you have applied for a Guinness Record and gotten a rejection letter, scan that letter here. If you have notified the Olympic Committee to cover unicycling events and have gotten a rejection, post it here!

lol I’m in

Will you be at the next NAUCC Billy?

haha bike burning!
Sounds good lol.

it sounds like we just achieved a new level of crazy .

sounds like fun.:slight_smile:

Sorry, no.

But NAUCC will definitely be a campaign stop for me in 2011.

I’m hoping for one in the northeast.

But things must change first. How can people participate, being marginalized by the press and every major sports organization?!

You don’t have to wonder why you get laughed at riding down the street.

When I’m done, the world will FEAR and RESPECT us!

Billy

Do you want me to supply the thermite?

I hate to admit it, but you’re on to something here Billy. Two major problems though for when your post is discovered by the major media. They’re going to forget all about the cause and report only on:

  1. Your co-opting of the ACT UP phase. They’re going to be pissed.
  2. Too much unicycle content, should be in RSU.

@Unibrier:
Humor has no place here, this thread is about a dramatic issue that should not be laughed about.
Shame on you for being so disrespectfull, some people have died for this cause. :angry: :angry: :angry:

That’s right! Unicyclist bashing, like gay bashing, continues, and the Olympic Committee and Guinness are in collusion with these anti-unicyclist attitudes!

Click the British Flag on the right and be amazed…

all hail billythemountain!

I’ll be at NAUCC this year.

That’s called a “token.”

Many more unicyclists have been rejected and excluded from Guinness.
