This afternoon, just when you thought NYU was bored talking about TBNYU!’s failed protest, more than a hundred fliers dropped from the top floor of Bobst and landed on the heads of unsuspecting students studying in the lobby.
“We can’t afford to sit idly by while NYU profits off our intelligence.”
Dear lord.
Later in the evening we received this email:
NYU Local:
This is the announcement.
We are a new collective of students operating at NYU. We are not connected or affiliated with Take Back NYU, SCRC, or any other group.
This is Take Back NYU’s write-up of today’s events.
Attached is the flier.
Thank you.

We are not capital,
Our education is not a commodity.
Is there any way this could be real?
Hardcore.
Wow.
Well, I agree with their signature.
I don’t think they have to worry about NYU making any profit off of *their* intelligence.
Boom. Roasted.
Had to post this:
LOL. What did the fliers say?
This doesn’t sound at all like TBNYU!, note their message.
Sounds like an attempt at true activism. Let’s keep our eyes open.
They sound pretty serious to me.
“This is the beginning of their end and our … beginning.”
Either this is satire, or NYU is putting something in the dining hall food.
Hm – somehow, a movie trailer for your activist group doesn’t make me want to take you seriously.
Oh yeah, and is anyone else catching the really heavy Marxist overtones?

That video would be a lot more effective (well, not really effective but certainly more entertaining to watch) if you added the signature Terminator movie sounds right at the end.
if those signs had given the location of a kegger, in reference to the film ’10 things i hate about you,’ i would have joined this collective.
I think it’s an ad for Cialis. “Will you rise with us?”
Nice. They probably printed these fliers out at an NYU computer lab, too.
