I’m starting a movement. Join me!
I wrote “I want to die, ask me why” on a tshirt and wore it around town. No one asked me why. So disappointing, but im not giving up.
I am waiting to hear from the city attorney about the legal ramifications of planning my own death. In speaking with our local newsletter agency, it was determined that I should take full advantage of social media to network and create buzz.
The girl there said that the concept is newsworthy, and that I can keep her informed of progress, but I need to get a little more momentum before they would do an article on it.
So, basically I need to make a Facebook page for the cause, start recruiting, etc. I designed a shirt on Booster.com, but it might need a different design too.
Here’s a link for that: https://www.booster.com/dyingwithstyle. You can actually buy the shirt and support awareness, but there is a minimum order amount, so if I can’t sell enough, they won’t print.
I’m doing this, I will find a way to get it viral or something, please help! If you know web design, I could use a site. If you have ideas for a shirt to get people talking, please share. I also could use some sort of trademark or logo for all my material, if any of you do design.
I’m thinking of calling all of us who support this idea the Proactive Death Squad. Provocative enough?
I’m asking for free help, resources, etc. if you have any knowledge of fundraising/crowd sourcing, please give me ideas too! Thanks everyone!
This is a bold and interesting social experiment…
Story of my life…
wait till you read my ideas for your name…
Joe thought of a cute idea too, put a barcode with an expiration date.
We all already have an expiration date… you want to throw away the package before the sell-by date…
Good point.
I know
My kids want me to wait till they’re out of the house. Probably take at least that long to change the world…
at least
I was excited that the idea is newsworthy. I’m a little ripple in the water who wants to become a wave.
Hang yourself from the roof of the White House…
As if they’d let me get that close. Besides, the whole point of this movement is so that people can die gracefully. Without having to resort to things like hanging themselves
You need publicity
Working on it. I need a lawyer first.
Maybe shoot yourself up in a big fireworks display… rain little chunks down all over the Capitol building…
Now that’s an idea!
yup
