Eugene Mirman Protest @ Union Square - 5/8/06

May 9, 2006 AT 01:08PM | Comments (5)

To commemorate the release of Eugene Mirman's new stand up album & DVD, En Garde, Society!, Eugene organized a mock protest against himself at Union Square in Manhattan. It drew over 50 protesters, who gleefully chanted caustic anti-Mirman slogans as they followed Eugene down the street to a nearby bar.  Here is a photo narrative of the events that transpired.

Todd Barry loves a good protest, hates Eugene.

The battered skull of the effigy lies motionless on the dirty NYC streets. Everyone is happy.

I have never heard of this Eugene guy, but I can tell from the pictures of the protest that he must be some kinda mouthy bastard. Heck, that effigy could have been stompted on harder. What a pack of lazy ass pansey protesters.

Eugene's funny in the same way stringing random words together in a sentence is funny. People need to stop encouraging him.

If he's so big in the NYC scene, how come only 50 people showed up? That seems paltry for a "big New York comic". A car wreck can draw 50 people in New York.

Eugene is big everywhere he goes, because he weighs 637 pounds.
