From the creators of the
Pabst Blue Ribbon, Gay Pride & Distressivus Festivus Poles.

Where free speech meets brushed metal.

In 2012, we installed an eight-foot Pabst Blue Ribbon Festivus pole next to a nativity scene in Deerfield Beach. In 2013, we escalated to the Florida Capitol. National media followed. Cities rewrote policies. What began as a beer-can pole became a constitutional stress test. Festivus 2026 expands that test internationally.

February 19, 2026: Former Prince Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office tied to the Epstein investigation. So, we thought, what the hell -- let's do a UK erection, and ask a simple question: when power operates without consent, who controls the permission slip?

TL;DR The Consentivus Pole is a satirical, permit-compliant public installation designed to pressure-test free speech, public process, and institutional consistency. It uses lawful procedure—not protest theater—to expose selective enforcement and bureaucratic hypocrisy. Support the project to fund permitting, production, documentation, and media visibility. This is satire with receipts.

Consentivus 2026: A six-foot middle finger of peaceful protest.

Six feet of aluminum. Wrapped in consent statements.
Stacked with pop-art cans stamped Limited Government Edition.
Now topped with a neon flashing heart signalling love.
It’s art. It’s satire. It’s 100% constitutional mischief.

Inspired by the original 2013 PBR Festivus Pole that stood beside a Nativity scene in Florida’s Capitol — the one that made national headlines and forced the state to confront its hypocrisy — this new edition fuses pop-art and civic duty into one question:

Can America,
and London, yes London,
still consent to free speech?

The 2025 Ohio State Capitol Erection.  It was nine degrees outside.

First Amendment Tactics for the Modern Smartass

PAPERWORK AS PERFORMANCE ART

We don’t protest — we comply, maliciously.

Each Consentivus Pole follows every rule, exposing hypocrisy through perfect paperwork.

Filed by the book, wrapped in consent, it’s six feet of lawful satire that turns red tape into revelation.

Highlights:

  • Lawful dissent, filed in triplicate
  • Every permit becomes performance art
  • Bureaucracy meets pop-art comedy
  • Approval = free speech; Denial = proof
  • One pole, zero permission slips
  • $25 = One can label printed
  • $50 = Permit application fee
  • $100 = One hour of legal review
  • $250 = Documented installation video
  • $500 = One full pole installation

Weaponizing Bureaucracy & Legal Loopholes

APPROVED, DENIED, AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN.

Each reaction tells the story. Every installation proves the point.

The Consentivus Tour rolls through state capitols and galleries—one pole, one can, one lawful headache at a time.

Palm Beach, Florida

We’ve filed in Palm Beach — the backyard of executive power.

If approved, neutrality stands.
If denied, the denial clarifies how selectively public forums operate.

Either way, the record becomes the point.

  • Fabrication of poles and can prototypes
  • Nationwide installation and removal
  • Filming, editing, and archival documentation
  • Public access to every permit and denial

Turning Controversy into Change

CONSENT — CIVIC AND PERSONAL.

This isn’t about Christmas décor.

It’s about consent — the foundation of both speech and autonomy.

Consent to speak.
Consent to dissent.
Consent to challenge hypocrisy on its own legal terms.

In an age of banned books and algorithmic censorship, the Consentivus Pole stands for every American who still believes the First Amendment doesn’t need your ID — just your consent.

Exposing Hypocrisy

One Story At A Time.

"Disruption Isn’t Just Necessary—It’s Democratic."

"Chaz Stevens has always embodied a fearless, in-your-face style of activism that cuts through noise and demands attention. His work isn’t just provocative—it’s purposeful. Whether he’s challenging government hypocrisy, exposing corruption, or pushing the boundaries of free expression, Chaz does so with biting humor and unapologetic urgency."

"What makes Chaz especially powerful is that his activism forces people to think—about power dynamics, institutional contradictions, and our collective responsibility to speak out. He doesn’t just push the envelope; he sets it on fire to make his point."

"In Florida, where critical voices are often silenced and sanitized, Chaz Stevens is a powerful reminder that disruption isn’t just necessary—it’s democratic."

Anna Eskamani, Florida State Representative

"Satan Loves the First Amendment. Broward Schools Didn’t."

"The Church of Satanology, run by the Ministry of Chaz the Bropostle, is a more political, constitution-based effort than it is an actual religion. "

Lianna Norman, USA Today

"This “Bite Me Greg” Activist Wants Them in Arabic With a Dash of Satanism."

"It’s a form of protest so ridiculous, it could actually work — and we would expect nothing else from a Florida guy [...] who’s back for a second round — and ready to mess with Texas."

Riya Misra, The Barbed Wire

"Council Braces for Flag Lawsuit Showdown."

"I think [Church of Satanology] is just nudging us to make the correct separation of church and state."

Torrington, CT City Council member Stephan Ivain

"The Law is on His Side."

“This letter was sent to poke the city in the eye for its poor choices ... [Chaz] knows what he's doing and the law is on his side.”

Attorney and Hartford, CT councilmen Joshua Michtom

"Stop Flag Propaganda."

"To help save it from itself, Connecticut could use a few more gadflies like T. Chaz Stevens."

Chris Powell, Columnist, CT Examiner

"It’s peaceful, it’s not violent."

"CHAZ STEVENS, the leader of Revolt Training, is heading out to Fort Lauderdale with 11 other protestors to — wait for it — wear inflatable male genitalia costumes paired with masks of Trump’s face."

Stevens said, "We are there smiling and taking pictures and it’s the absolute essence of our constitutional rights. Plus we’ll have a good time.”

Kimberly Leopard, Politico

“Provocative Activism That Gets Results Beyond Lawsuits.”

"As someone who has covered church/state separation for decades, I know that it's not always enough to make speeches or file lawsuits. Sometimes, you just need to grab the public's attention. No one does that better than Chaz Stevens."

"Yes, he's provocative. Yes, he can be abrasive. Yes, he often rubs traditionalists the wrong way."

"But here's the thing: He gets results. He demands attention through his unique brand of clever, funny, effective activism. That kind of public spotlight on a story can often do more than an entire cadre of lawyers. "

Hemant Mehta, editor of FriendlyAtheist.com

“Chaz Stevens Weaponizes Bureaucracy for Change.”

"As a media disrupter, guerrilla marketer, and all-around political gadfly, Chaz Stevens personifies John Lewis' idea of 'Good Trouble.' Few in Florida know more about weaponizing governmental bureaucracy to achieve tangible positive results."

"South Florida politicos have long admired (or feared) his sharp wit, savvy and doggedness — now, Chaz can show you the best, most effective way to get s**t done."

Phil Ammann, Journalist, Florida Politics

"A Relentless, Fearless, and Brilliantly Satirical Force."

"His unique brand of activism - equal parts performance art and legal precision has led to tangible change: public displays removed, policies reevaluated, and a growing awareness of the need for true governmental neutrality in matters of religion.”

Sharon Baron, editor of ParklandTalk.com

“Defending the Constitution, Not Your Feelings.”

"Chaz Stevens doesn’t care about you or your feelings because he’s defending the U.S. Constitution."

"And he’ll go to the mat to keep it unsullied by those who seek to defile it in the name of any agenda."

Anne Geggis, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist

"Sends Politicians Packing."

"There are those who don't know Chaz and those he sent to jail."

Aaron Nevins, GOP Consultant

"Diligent and Brutally Passionate."

"His pursuit of truth is intense and motivated. Love him or hate him, you must respect his work ethic and focus."

Commissioner Michael Udine, Broward County
