What do we want?!? A STUPID CHANT!!! When do we want it?!? NOW!!!... apparently.

You know what I hate about pop-rallies? That stupid chant...

"What do we want?!?"
"[Insert what you WANT, preferably with as few syllables as possible]!!!"
"When do we want it?!?"
"NOW!!!"

If you're rallying for something, isn't it obvious you want it now? Also... since EVERY rally/protest seems to include this, your possibly unique passion seems less unique, and in my mind, gets lumped into just ANOTHER demand/complaint.

Also, even if I really want what you're talking about, if that's ALL you're going to say, I'm going to get bored REALLY quick. At least break it up with impassioned speech between chants - don't just do it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over... get it?
