It’s the Change.org petition to end all Change.org petitions forever – literally.
A Change.org user named Adrian Alonso has posted a petition to the site that demands the website be removed from the Internet.
The petition reads:
Some of the petition’s supporters explain their reasons for signing it. One wrote that the website “gives morons a false sense of democratic ‘social justice’ while effecting no true change whatsoever. What is most egregious, though, is the media’s tendency to pick up on some flippant petition that superficially promotes a leftist agenda and treat it like a grassroots movement when it has 5 signatures.”
Another says simply, “I love irony.”
The petition, which was launched on Nov. 20, already has 435 supporters and is close to its goal of 500.
Change.org gained widespread attention in April 2012 when the parents of slain 17-year-old Florida teen Trayvon Martin created a petition on the site encouraging the state’s attorney general to prosecute their son’s accused murderer, George Zimmerman. The petition, which gathered nearly 2.3 million signatures, was ultimately successful, however Zimmerman was acquitted of the murder charges in July 2013.
