Interesting way to protest, heh

Some guy spent $30,000 on half a million coloured, plastic balls, which he threw down the Spanish steps

Re: Interesting way to protest, heh

I would hate to pick them all up and I am sure even when they do go to clean up they will be finding them for years after because there is no way they could possible pick up every singal one of them?! O_o

Re: Interesting way to protest, heh

He was protesting what's happening in Burma right now, the injustice and something with the military. I think you guys got too distracted by the balls

Ally I have to admit that we did get distracted by the little shinny plastic balls. But wasn't that the point of his unusual protest, that we wouldn't have even seen the post on the Forum if it hadn't been for the little shinny plastic balls. If he and a group of people had just protested with signs we probably would have not seen it in the posts and wouldn't have become aware of whats happening in Burma right now.
