British Commuters Feel Like Cows

Cows Outraged at Stereotypical Comments

Railway commuters in the UK donned cow masks and using counterfeit tickets boarded the trains in Great Britain to protest unfair price increases and poor service. But an unexpected backlash from the cow community has overshadowed the event. A spokescow from BEEF (Bovines for Ethical Endeavors in Farming), issued a statement in response to the commuters demonstration:
"This blatant use of anti-bovite rhetoric to rally humans to their cause is unjust and immoral. The stereotypes used to insinuate that crowded humans are like cattle are appalling and offensive. When people are crowded into a train they are not prodded with electricity and forced to stand in their own feces. The Bovine community will not stand for this type of insensitive behavior and demands an immediate apology."

Italian Students' "Say 'Nope' to the Pope" Protest a Success

Pope: "Damn those kids to hell, then I'm not going"

The Vatican has canceled Pope Benedictinatinatahoohaa the Umpteenth's trip to Rome's La Sapienza university after students there protested against his upcoming visit. Their beef? The Pope believes that the Catholic church was correct in punishing Galileo 375 years ago for saying the earth revolves around the sun. Regarding the centuries-old argument, the Pope was quoted saying "Itsa more a bee-u-tiful a universa ifa zee eartha iza in thee center... like my Prada slippers... MAGNIFICO!"

UK Musicians Begin Walking Out on Strike

Now the Internet is REALLY Starting to Cause Some Problems... Or IS IT???

Following Radiohead and Paul McCartney a no-name musician, one Robbie Williams, has decided to stop working for EMI claiming he isn't paid appropriately for his music. Damn, since the writers strike started it's like a domino effect in the entertainment world. Soon, we'll all be watching re-runs, late night talk shows with their host's babbling incoherently and listening to the same old music, over and over... ... what's that? OH, we were already doing that? Okay, well then, uh... nevermind.

Not the Daily Show

Protest Can Work?!

Hmm...
A blogger for the Kansas City Star wrote an interesting editorial about the effectiveness of protesting against things you don't like, especially (well, exclusively) when it's something other people are doing that you don't condone. Basically, he is attempting to debunk the justification for whaling used by Japanese whalers that it's part of their culture to hunt and eat whale. The Japanese have said they will halt the whaling of humpbacks. So maybe it worked... maybe. The blogger himself says that they have said nothing about the other whale species and of course no mention of the giant squid, which surely makes millions of people salivate uncontrollably. I mean just THINK of the giant calamari rings. I for one would like to see the Japanese start going after those giant squid, which they recently confirmed does in fact exist and is estimated to be 30 to 60 ft in length... because MAN, if you can get that in the boat and eat it... well... you go right ahead buddy!

Hannah Montana Fans Go on the Offensive

Scalpers, Ticketmaster Beware - These Kids are Serious

A 15-year-old fan of the Disney phenomenon "Hannah Montana", organized a demonstration outside of a concert recently to protest unfair ticket prices and selling practices. It seems tickets went on-sale for $63 but within the first 60 seconds the tickets were all gone. Only to reappear in other ticket purchasing venues soon after at 2 to 10 times the original price. It's a good lesson for the young people of today; all the whining and sign waving, however well-intended, will do nothing to perturb the soul-crushing, dream-smashing, capitalist society we live in. And besides, Hannah Montana really isn't as talented as you think. Kinda like ketchup... the older we get the more we realize it really just tastes like tomatoes and sugar. Which isn't bad, but not really good either.

Egyptian Bedouins Redefine the Meaning of the Word "Protest"

You Say Potato, I say Rocket-Propelled-Grenade
Bedouins in Egypt rallied at an Egyptian-Israeli border crossing today by ... ... ... FIRING F-ING RPGs at people in protest of a recent arrest of two Bedouins by local police. Amazingly, only two people were injured. Wow, that's some protest. The Mid-East Times actually uses the word "protest" to describe the event. And I guess it is... a rocket-propelled-grenade protest! Not to be confused with an AK-47 protest, or with a guerrilla-warfare-using-basic-ground-tactics protest. Admittedly, the differences between these styles of protest are subtle, but one must make the distinction.

Protesters Stone Bus in South Africa

Let Him Who is Without Exact Change Cast the First Stone


A group of South Africans, apparently upset with the spotty bus service, have taken stone in hand to hurl at the vile beast which comes without warning and on no particular schedule. No one was injured in the stoning and the bus itself was relatively unharmed. Police quickly dispersed the offended populous. No arrests were made, and it is unlikely the bus will be making any stops near the site of the stoning any time soon. The bus driver was quoted saying, "I've never been so stoned in my life".

Efficient Funeral Home Upsets Elderly
A group of seniors in Idaho are outraged with a recent proposal that would allow a funeral home to be opened across the street from their senior center. I am compelled to point out that organizing in protest against the home goes against the grain of conventional logic. We have bathrooms in restaurants, ATMs in casinos, and steam vents next to the homeless, so naturally we should have a funeral home near a senior center. It just makes sense. And I'm not the only one who feels that way; 81-year-old Doy Seng said (and I'm not making this one up) "We're old here. We're all ready to go," she said. "I think it will be handy."

Red Light... Green... er... Blue Light

Anti-abortionist activists are up-in-arms about how no one cares when somebody takes a swing at them... not even the police. Maybe the message is starting to sink in... NO ONE CARES since you started blowin' up stuff a few years back. Getting the message? Nah, I didn't think so.

Man Protests Michigan Primary by NOT Voting

Welcome to Our Organization Mr. Mike Mallot!
A Michigan man, upset with the way the presidential primary is being ran there, will not be voting. He's bothered by the way voters are pinned down as Republicans or Democrats at the polls, then later are solicited by the party of the official for which they voted. Welcome to the SPAM AGE! This period of human history will be remembered as the time when human beings finally discovered how to annoy each other with extreme prejudice. That reminds me... I need to spam everyone I know about my blog ;o)

Link the vote!
