      MTV Permalance Troops To Attack Holiday Party (With T-Shirts)

      By Maggie, 4:40 PM on Wed Dec 5 2007, 7,396 views

      permalancercancer.jpg The MTVN freelancers' petition we'd found its way to us just now and these downtrodden drudges have a plan! It includes subterfuge and silk-screening. "Wear your custom permalance T-shirt Thursday night at the Holiday Party," the petition suggests. "In addition to getting drunk and making out with co-workers Thursday night, let's make a statement!" Rioting contractors are encouraged to conceal their fightwear under whatever proper party attire they can afford. The full outrage is after the jump.

      To all of you PERMALANCERS out-there in the MTVN family, To all of you staffers with a permalancer-heart or a permalancer friend, To all of your friends/peers and their friends/peers, (you know the drill pass this along to anyone you know who needs to take a stand)

      WHAT IS HAPPENING TO US IS OUTRAGEOUS AND YOU KNOW IT.
      We all want our benefits, we all work hard, we all want security.

      In addition to getting drunk and making out with co-workers Thursday night, let's make a statement! We don't have to be all "aggro" to make a point. Take the attachments of your preference and iron it on a white t-shirt. Let this uniform make our message resonate! Staples, Utrecht and Blick all sell iron-on transfer sheets cheap. They can be printed right from your inkjet.

      If you can't get an iron on:
      STENCIL IT
      SHARPIE-MARKER IT
      COLLAGE IT
      PIN THE PAPER TO YOUR CHEST
      STAPLE IT
      WRITE IT IN BLOOD
      WHAT EVER WORKS FOR YOU.

      Wear your custom permalance T-shirt Thursday night at the Holiday Party. We advise you also wear a top layer to cover this shirt and take it off once you get inside. Hope to see you ALL in white tomorrow night! If you don't want to participate we also ask to keep it shush from anyone who doesn't need to know this before the party!
