We’ve had enough of mobilization and social activation. Like your average tumbltards, we are giving up with our campaign to change the world.

Post apocalyptic week starts next week!

Pros: The above tumblr, which in no way related to anything we discuss in this post, is basically the JCPenny catalog for the new century. Our 13-year-old selves get sweaty palms.

Professor Gary Sick is a senior research scholar at SIPA’s Middle East Institute, and an adjunct professor of International and Public Affairs.

Professor Sick served on the National Security Council under Presidents Ford, Carter, and Reagan. He was the principal White House aide for Iran during the Iranian Revolution and the hostage crisis. Sick is a captain (ret.) in the U.S. Navy, with service in the Persian Gulf, North Africa, and the Mediterranean.

Professor Gary Sick is also an avid tumblr user.

Yay for Professor Gary Sick! He’s got the whole using Tumblr for advocating and that jazz down.

Pros: Read, read, read.

Fags everywhere unite! You’ve got a new place to turn for your daily gayness: This is Gay.

Something tell us that whoever started this tumblr was found out by their parents and thrown into one of those Anti-Gay camps in the middle of the summer and became a reformed Gay. You know, because their quest to make sure the word “Gay” isn’t used like we use it here at Latfat only lasted until June.

Fail.

Tumbltards should stick with their social mobilization programs! Like these idiots do.

Pros: We don’t have any Gay employees here at Latfat, but one of our writers does dress up like Herbert Hoover in a dress every time he hits the crack pipe.

The greatest trick the people of Williamsburg ever pulled was convincing the world that they were interesting and should be paid attention to, instead of mocked and avoided.

This tumblr, like all the tumblrs, would be much improved if it was working towards making this world a better place.  We’re doing our part, can’t he at least paint some bike lanes or something?

Pros: Better stay away from hoodies Jose, they’re a killer when combined with elevators.

Zooey Deschanel is a major point of contention here at Latfat.

One of us wonders if he is the only one not obsessed with her, and thinks she’s “fucking pretentious,” with her only saving grace being her cuteness.

The other thinks that she could be described simply as “the best,” so long as she stays away from Jim Carey and M. Night Shyamalan movies.

But we can both agree that the Tumbltard hard on for Zooey fills an entire tall boy, and that tumblrs devoted to posting pictures of a particular celebrity (no matter how great awful great awful great) is a waste of energy.

It’s just a shame that all the effort put into tumblrs like this one aren’t used for social activation and mobilization. (We’re advocating for the internet to get preachier and more sincere. It’s a new decade, the fun is over.)

Pros: Did you get the Frisky Dingo reference there? Probably not! Boosh.

Depictions of mental illness through ages and more?

Is there a point to this tumblr? We aren’t really sure. It seems like another voyeuristic tumblr taking advantage of the weird or bizarre for cheap thrills.

It is really too bad that all the effort put into tumblrs like this one aren’t used for social activation and mobilization (look at us, nearly a week into 2010 and we’re sticking with our preachy New Year’s Goal).

Pros: We’re crying like a grown man over babies and chickens after just a few minutes with this thing.  But a link that pointed to the National Alliance on Mental Illness would go a long way.

Oh, now that’s more like it, a tumblr actually devoted to social activation and mobilization!

This week we gave platelets, which is something that you probably have a lot of, but are things that cancer patients need really badly.

The whole process takes about 2 hours, and you can’t really move because you have giant needles sticking out of both your arms.  Other people were there watching movies, but sticking with our resolution to get preachy in 2010, we sat there defiantly while having a staff member listen to us ramble on about what a great thing we were doing, and how other people should really get their acts together and do some good in this world.

Pros: As we said, great stuff.  But wouldn’t it be better if they individually called out people who weren’t doing their part?  We certainly think so.

Penis in a Rowboat! Now, what would a penis be doing in a rowboat? Fuck if we know.

Still, it is one of the most original titles for a Tumblr we’ve seen yet. And it seems like this cat cares about some actual issues… we guess as much as one can possibly show they care by simply grabbing a pull quote from a random website and posting it to their tumblr called “Penis in a Rowboat,” which also features crotch shots of Debbie Harry.

Pros: At least she’s advocating for something, but it could stand to be more preachy for us to really appreciate it.

Our hats are off to you, Anthony Beltempo, you magnificent bastard. Your brainchild, Jersey Shore, is possibly the greatest Public Service Announcement ever created.

Here, here!

Now that you have America’s attention, start inserting messages into programming… wait, what?

See? Even MTV can be a force for good (still not sure this is preachy enough for our tastes, but we’ll let it slide).

Pros: Micheal Cera and the cast of Jersey Shore. Does it get any more ironic? (Also, we are pretty sure that “The Situation” is Pauly Shore).
