Funny how those 'pimps' don't mention this when doing the Talk Show circuit...

It's hard out here in Philly for a pimp.
At least, it appears that's the lesson that self-described filmmaker-activist James O'Keefe learned when he and cohort Hannah Giles showed up at the Philadelphia ACORN headquarters on July 24 in the middle of a probe that has touched off a conservative-media firestorm

As someone who's worked for non-profits for the last ten years, I fully agree.

I just suspect there may be a few hours of video from the their phishing attempts that involves people asking "Are you serious?"

The CEO of ACORN was on CNN earlier saying they were trying to get the unedited videos. She was also upfront about how serious the problems were and that they were going to crack down.

Yes, I've had to work with people who listed among their concerns things like, "Why did you break into my house when I was gone and steal all the insulation from my attic?" We sort of skated around that and tried to focus on her financial problems.

I heard that at one office the workers asked the young woman to think about what she was doing, which seems more appropriate.

This "social experiment" was on the Daily Show last night, though they didn't use Philly. I'm kind of surprised, actually, that it would be Philly that called shenanigans (and I'm a little proud, too).
