Shut The Duck Up!
>
I'm not sure what's my favorite part of "Shut The Duck Up!" the mini-documentary shot by Drexel filmies and posted this week to YouTube.
It could be that Walt Sherman, the ex-Independence Park ranger whose life was nearly ruined by those drive-by quacking, tourist-movers, is wearing hunter's camouflage for most of this movie.
Or the fact you can almost see him becoming unhinged as he pinpoints his annoyance: "It's the loud obnoxious screaming, the horrible incessant quacking."
Or the scene where he's in his basement, methodically hammering the life out of those little noise-makers, as he explains his crusade to bring them off the streets and silence their plastic beaks.
The Stop The Duck! movement joins the YouTube revolution. Love the T-shirts. Zip that canard!

At first I thought this guy was funny, then I started to think he was serious and really sad. Then I thought he was funny because he was serious and sad. Now I think he might be a genius. The film's great, the cause, if serious, is really lame. I really hope this is big joke, if so, it's great, if not, watch out, this guy might be dangerous.

I personally think he's right on(a little eccentric, but still right on). I've lived near where the boats drive ever since they came here and they are SO annoying. I wish Walt luck in his success!
