They have become impossible to parody. Don’t even try. You can’t top this.

Beware the dreaded Brown Note.

Beware of the Brown Note.

That’s the word among some political activists as the Democratic National Convention nears.

As legend has it, the Brown Note is an infrasonic frequency believed to resonate through human body parts and cause a loss of bowel control. Some protesters are convinced that Denver police will amplify such low frequencies to subdue them in August.

“They’ll bring out all the technologies they can get their hands on,” says activist Ben Yager. “I wouldn’t put anything past police in terms of crowd control.”

Sounds paranoid?

I’m not sure why these “activists” are so upset about the Brown Note. After all, one of their slogans is “Just Poop.”
