In another grand public relations coup for the Men’s Rights movement, Paul Elam’s drunken party tape has been featured on The Majority Report with Sam Seder, a sharp and funny political podcast I’ve started listening to on a fairly regular basis (and that you all might want to check out).
In the clip above — taken from a show a couple of weeks back, but only just posted online — Majority Reporter Matt Binder tries to explain Elam’s infamous 2-minute video, in which a bunch of grizzled, inebriated A Voice for Men dudes joined him in a rousing game of “who can embarrass the Men’s Rights movement the most by shouting drunkenly about how much they don’t want to get blow jobs from a feminist writer half their age and then go on to describe another feminist writer’s vagina as stinky.”
Yeah, it’s sort of an odd game. (Elam won, by the way.)
Seeing Elam’s video again — or at least the portion of it that Binder included on the show, before he got so disgusted by it he turned it off — I was inspired to come up with a game of my own.
You see, I’ve noticed that AVFM’s Facebook page has been posting what you might call “Quotations from Chairman Paul” memes, featuring quotes from Elam underneath a picture of his grim visage. A couple of examples:
Yeah, they manage to be both ridiculous and terrible, a bit like the Men’s Rights movement itself.
But they got me thinking. We could make some “Quotations from Chairman Paul” memes of our own!
Here’s one I made, inspired by Elam’s drunken tirade on his party tape.
Feel free to use that pic of Elam (or any other that you might prefer) to make memes of your own!
If you’re looking for good quotes, there are dozens of possible candidates in the archives. “Paul Elam In His Own Words” is always a good start.
And, seriously, check out The Majority Report; you can sample snippets of it (like the video above) on Youtube.

I think that’s when you try to phone Dial-A-Sympathy, get a wrong number, and wind up with a tinny recorded message advising you to hang up and try again.
Yeah, that was my first (spit-) take, too. Because damn, that is an ugly pic of Paulie…it couldn’t look meaner or nastier if it tried. That’s why I think they own-goaled themselves here. They’ve saved their critics the trouble of mocking them by unintentionally mocking themselves.
Seriously, I’ve said before; if these people are so hell-bent on insisting Anita Sarkeesian is using her harassment for money, why the hell do they keep doing it?!

Hey, Red Green looks like he’s lost a bit of weight!

I’m trying to figure out what Red Green has to do with anything, other than the fact he’s totally awesome.
@ColeYote:
Oh, haven’t you heard? She makes it all up!
Yup. She just sits around all day making sockpuppets to send harassment to herself.
It totally makes sense, really! 😉

Here’s my Paul Elam meme:
“I want my mommy!!”
David’s made me laugh my head off this morning. 🙂
On another note, someone mentioned Sage Gerard who is in the drunken video. Sage Gerad has his own youtube channel where he posts videos about women and feminism. In one I recently watched a bit of, he talks about women who are “worth their salt” and what exactly they should be like according to the wise Sage Gerard. There is no wiggle room for us ladies, if we want to do our JOB as women (that is what “worth your salt” means), you must be what Sage Gerard thinks you should be. I can only take his videos in small doses as they are creepy, with undertones of rage and you can tell just how much rage is bristling under his supposed rational, philosophical presentation. He thinks he’s the next Aristotle and as most know, Aristotle was not exactly helpful to the world view of women we’ve inherited.
Oh please, don’t go there. Red Green is nothing like Elam.
For one thing, Green actually does stuff and has friends.
And is, you know, fictional.

I wasn’t comparing the character to the person, just making a cheap joke.
In fact, I consider Red Green to have the best marriage of any member of Possum Lodge. Compare, say, to Dalton Humphries and Ann Marie.
Red, who is no spring chicken, also closes the show, more than a bit, with a neat phrasing telling his wife (who I guess is watching) about wanting to engage in maritals when he gets home.
Looks like Elam thinks “succinct” has something to do with getting his dick sucked, so it, too, is something he will never ever attempt… –Blah blah blah blah blah longest meme in the blah blah history of blah blah blah fools online blah blah Paul blabber blabber Elam blurp.
This is actually the best way to report massive savings.
