Rationale

The questions we hope to answer is what is anonymous and what are there tactics. I believe that these questions are important as many people aren’t aware of this group and those who are aren’t well educated in them. I hope to educate people in an entertaining and funny way. What I want to convey through the song is that this group is no the creepy terrorists or hackers the media portrays them as but instead a group of socially conscious young people, something many people have wanted for years.


In my research I have found most members of Anonymous open about everything except their face and their name. They speak their mind on anything they wish and they say they find it personally freeing to be able to be in a environment that allows them to speak their mind. None of them appear to be the violent degenerates that some media (such as a now infamous Fox News broadcast). They appear in all honesty to be normal teenagers and young adults who like to have fun and tell people what they think.


One of their major targets is the Church of Scientology. Whenever the subject of religious bigotry came up they always deny it. They state they don't have anything against the religion of Scientology, just the way the Church is run. Many stated they agreed with some things in Scientology and one member I met had even left the church. She stated she still believed in Scientology, just not in the Church.


It made sense to me that a group created on the internet should have a informational art project on the web. So my classmate and I decided doing a informative rant would allow us to say what we wanted to say about the group, yet still remain humorous. This will allow more people to find the message as music is easier and more enjoyable then a page of text or statue. It also allows people to carry it with them, showing it to other people in the process.
