What's this "Citizens Against" whatever all about?

The Citizens Against Safety Goggles have existed since the year 2000, and have been committed to the promotion of the anti-protective eyewear platform ever since. Founded by Mike L. Mayfield in Philadelphia, the CASG vehicle for spreading the no-goggle word has been simple since its inception -- mind-numbing propaganda. And that's what we're committed to bringing you today, tomorrow, and for years to come.

You're full of crap about this absurd agenda... Where did the name, "Citizens Against Safety Goggles" really come from?

We don't endorse safety goggles, and we stand by that. However, the name actually was originally conceived as a production company title for "The Lollipop Tree" . The concept behind this film was that much of the educational material used in the U.S. during the 1950s, 60s, and 70s was paid for by groups with hidden agendas. So, "The Citizens Against Safety Goggles" served to give the impression that "The Lollipop Tree" was commissioned not by an entertainment production company (i.e. "Blah Blah Blah Productions" or "Poopy Poopy Films"), but of a strange civic group with a ridiculous agenda.

It is also worth pointing out that Aaron Reizner of Cincinnati, OH suggested his own interpretation of the meaning behind the name -- that "safety goggles" was a metaphor for censorship, and that therefore we were actually an anti-censorship rather than an anti-goggle organization...

So... Was Aaron right?

...Sure...

How many Citizens Against Safety Goggles actually exist?

A lot.

Fine. Name some.

That'd take too long.

Mike L. Mayfield is our founder, though. You can watch the detailed biography, "An Intimate Look at the creator of 'The Lollipop Tree'" for the complete story.

Cop out.

Mike L. Mayfield works as an animator, writer, and director in Los Angeles. He has produced numerous short comedic works under the name "The Citizens Against Safety Goggles", many of which have been recognized in international film festivals and heavily circulated on the web. He also worked as a Character Layout Artist On "King of the Hill" (DPS Film Roman, Inc.); as an animator and director on commercials for Guinness, Snickers, and the Ohio Lottery (Moo Studios); and first as a Storyboard Artist, and then Assistant Director on "American Dad!" (FOX Television Animation). Mike co-created a kids' show called "Boogies", which Warner Brothers made into a pilot with voice actor Tom Kenny. Mike also performs, most notably in a number of segments for FuelTV (on "The Daily Habit" and "Stupidface") and in a number of satirical performance art groups, including "bLoNd cHiLi" and the fake church rock band "Tracy, Dean, and Jesus". In September 2007, Mike left full-time employment to focus all his energy on freelance and personal projects. Since then he has produced four animated comedy segments for "Stupidface" on FuelTV, worked with Olivier Gondrey on a stop-motion commercial for Beringer Wine, and is producing animated vignettes for an upcoming surf documentary sponsored by Quiksilver. If Mike would ever update the news section of this website, that would be a good place to find out more. But he doesn't. As though you might actually care.

Man, how arrogant and presumptuous have I become?

Very.

You shut up.
