Street Art West Bank 5tyle

Tagged Ya in Bethlehem BOO!!
A unique form of organized protest has taken place in the West Bank. Some would call it street art, some graffiti... me... I call it a big mess of paint. This is what happens when you inhale aerosol paint fumes through a handkerchief then fly from NYC to Israel - wigged out defacement of property. If this doesn't bring peace to the mid-east nothing will. Link

Thar be PIRATES!?

ARRRRRRRh!
Thousands of women hit the streets recently in Nigeria to insist some one do something about the pirates. THE PIRATES! WHAT IN THE NAME OF JESUS SON OF MARY IS GOING ON HERE??? F-ing PIRATES? Where is the East Indian Trading Company, or the West Indian Trading Company, or at least the Hudson Bay Company? They knew just what to do with pirates... PIRates... good god.

Protesters Dress Warm for Global Warming Rally

Old Man Winter to Protesters: "Get OFF MY LAWN... damn kids"

Tomorrow in London and elsewhere around the world people will be gathering to demonstrate against the warming of the planet. Strangely, many will be bundled-up in parkas, mittens and scarves. Why? Because it's FRIKIN' COLD! That's why. Leave it to people to organize a protest against global warming IN THE WINTER! That way they'll look like complete idiots to the people they are trying to sway. Next year, I suggest another season... like SUMMER. Whatever... ... ...idiots trying to convince idiots of something we can do nothing about. And really, who isn't looking forward to wearing sandals and shorts year 'round? So what if we are all poverty-stricken and war-torn.

Townsfolk Gather to Protest Lack of X-mas Spirit

Electrocution Preferable to No Christmas Tree


Recently, in the town of Nelson, UK a crowd of 25 or so rallied together in solidarity against the lack of Christmas decorations the town has put up this holiday season. This year the town opted to use the budget allocated for tree ornaments and wreaths to instead upgrade an ailing electrical system. Makes sense to me. If folks are really that steamed about it, maybe they should donate a tree and make some decorations out of popcorn and paper cut-outs, and be happy the chances of power failure and electrocution have been diminished. That's a pretty good Christmas gift to the people by the town in my estimate. But then again I once estimated that my generation wouldn't have to worry about all the ice melting.

Activists Mix CosPlay with Anti-Coal Protest

Sex Party at the Polar Bear Club to Follow, Shrinkage May Be an Issue
In South Wales, United Kingdom today several dozen people have gathered at a coal mine to disrupt mining operations in an attempt to bring attention to global warming. Specifically, to point out all of the carbon released from burning the coal extracted at the site. Many dressed as polar bears. All will be arrested... after they are hack-sawed off of the machinery. Look guys, it's too late... the planet is totally eff'd up so just relax and try and have a good time. Linkage

I just want to put things in perspective about polar bears...

Irish Women Demonstrate Against "Breast Controversies"

Around 160 Breasts Rallied for the Cause


In an effort to "stop being treated like a number" eighty or so Irish women (and their breasts) have crowded outside the Irish Health Service Executive building demanding change in the breast examination services there. Personally, I never treat women as just a number. A hole? Yes. But a number? Never!

French Fight for Their Right to Die a Long, Expensive, Painful Death

Thousands Demand Breath that Smells Like Ass and Teeth that Look Like Crap
Approximately 10,000 Parisians took to the streets last week in France to protest the coming ban on smoking in cafes which takes effect January 1st. The demonstrators walked several blocks, many wheezing, and coughing up blood, and some pulling oxygen bottles behind them as they made their way to the French National Assembly. One protester, though out of breath from the walk commented, "if I want to die of cancer and pass second hand smoke to others I should be able to, dammit... oh I feel dizzy" (translated from French).
