    Here's Some Copy And Paste Job (Currently 187,207 People In The Group To Do It)

    Information
    Group Info Name: On May 15th 2008, everybody needs to go out and panic buy CARROTS.
    Type: Just for Fun - Totally Pointless
    Description: Basically, a few nights ago, when I was very very drunk, I came up with the idea that everybody should go out and panic buy a certain product on a specific day.

    I'm not quite sure what the reason behind this is is, other than the fact that a global shortage of carrots would be quite a laugh.

    So, what I'm asking everybody to do, is on the 15th May, 2008 go out and buy a load of carrots. IF EVERYBODY DOES THIS, WE CAN MAKE THIS GLOBAL SHORTAGE OF CARROTS HAPPEN!

    P.s PLEASE READ THE FAQ'S BEFORE POSTING!
    Contact Info Website: http://www.panicbuyers.co.nr/
    Office: This very room.

    Recent News
    Right, as we seem to have attracted the attention of the news and such now, I would simply like to tell the newsy folks that, this group is all in good fun, we know we're not going to cause a massive world wide shortage, it's all a bit of fun, and to the carrotty people who are saying "Well. This could never happen. We grow too many carrots for such things to occur. No." Maybe you should be thankful for the imminent rise we are probably going to make in your profits on May 15th. If you are all carrot farmers, that is.

    FAQ’s
    ---------
    Q-Why don’t you change the display picture of the group to something carrot related?
    A-Honestly? I don’t know, I just quite like it the way it is. Are you telling me you’ve joined a carrot panic buying group and expected the admins to be normal?

    Q-Can you make an event? Or some reminders?
    A-Yes, definitely. I will make an event soon, and I’ll send out messages to remind people of all of this closer to the date.

    Q-What will we actually do with the carrots?
    A-Whatever you want! My aunt said that on the 16th they should be randomly (I hate that word) placed on different modes of public transport/at the cinema/in cafes etc, which I thought was pretty good. Also you can join the sister group here, which also has carroty ideas - http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=7297488951

    Q-Why carrots? Why? Why does this face book group exist? Why are you doing this to me?
    A-BECAUSE I HATE YOU AND YOU FAIL AT LIFE. No, I don’t know, because for some reason this just came flowing out of my brain area and I couldn’t really stop it. Sorry folks.

    Q-Is there a time we should do this? Or a particular supermarket?
    A-Well… I think we should all aim for 2pm, and try and buy them from Tesco, Waitrose, Sainsburys, you know, the big places. Obviously if you can’t do 2pm, or don’t have a supermarket in close proximity then anywhere, anytime is fine, just buy as many as you can! (Imagine the weird looks we’re going to get. Christ.)

    Q-What about the starving kids in Africa? What about the Homeless people living in boxes, who can't afford sandwiches and coffee!? YOU PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS!
    A-Please be advised that the homeless HAVE been taken into consideration. There's not a lot that we personally can do about the starving kids in Africa, no matter how much i physically cry about the state of the world. It has been decided that a percentage of the carrots WILL be made into soup, cake, juice, and given to the Homeless of Croydon, Southampton, Bournemouth and London, mostly by Jadie. Please don't assume that we are as ignorant to have NOT thought about this. That's a serious note.

    PLEASE DIRECT ANY OTHER QUESTIONS TOWARDS THE "QUESTIONS" THREAD ON THE DISCUSSION BOARD.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    !!TO THE PEOPLE WONDERING ABOUT THEIR TOPIC HAVING BEEN DELETED FROM THE DISCUSSION BOARD!!;
    It's nothing personal, it's usually because what you've said is already part of another board, or there is already another board for the subject matter. Although, it might have just been a lot of crap and we can't be doing with that. The same goes for the Wall, we're not up for having messages such as "get a life!", "you're all idiots!", "Get a job!" on our wall and they will be deleted. We do actually have jobs, and, to be honest, we may be idiots in that we've created a group encouraging people to panic buy carrots, but YOU just joined it for the sole purpose of telling us we're idiots. We know we're idiots. Thankyou for your time, but we're not interested in what you have to say. :)

    A mass demonstration is being organised to challenge the implications and boundaries of SOCPA - the law that prohibits demonstrations around Parliament Sq. The aim is to organise 2000+ people for protest to break the official world record of 2000 protests in a day.

    The government panic when people raid the shelves during a petrol crisis in supermarkets. So lets see if this can happen.

    Rather stupid really

    Besides - I bought some carrots today!


    "There's not a lot that we personally can do about the starving kids in Africa, no matter how much i physically cry about the state of the world." - err....how about instead of everyone buying carrots, they donate what they would spend?!

    I wouldn't bank on it!

    There'll probably be one lurking in the bottom of the fridge!
