The
tagline for the movie
Pump Up the Volume. Originally
coined by the
eat me beat me lady (
Nora DeNiro, played by
Samantha Mathis),
Happy Harry Hardon, the
alter ego of
Mark Hunter (played by
Christian Slater) uses it to push his
message out even as he is
arrested and dragged off.
It was also used in graffiti, along with So Be It and The Truth is a Virus.
I've always enjoyed the movie - the message to me has always been, "The best time to rock the boat is when you're in it." It's the passengers inside the boat - the ones most affected by it for good or ill - who know when rocking the boat is worth the cost.
Would you have told the American Revolutionaries, "don't rock the boat"?
