G8 FOLLIES

Via Freedom and Whisky, exclusive photographs of G8 protest entrepreneurs; at No Pasaran, a bunnyman searches for his lost echo; and in Melbourne’s Age, the cosmic fool freaks out squareville:

UPDATE. Dossier dude Andrew Gilligan was thrown out of a protest gathering by your typical free-speech advocates:


Instantly recognised due to his media profile role during the Iraq War, Gilligan, 36, was spotted taking notes and using a dictaphone and was given 20 seconds to leave by angry activists who particularly object to the coverage of anti-capitalist protests in the Evening Standard. When he refused, a large number of individuals simply escorted him from the building. Although his personal equipment was initially confiscated, it was later handed back. His diary is now being sent down to London.

  2. Suddenly I am convinced that CAFTA is a bad idea.

  3. Other great sellin’-stuff-to-stop-capitalism ideas:

    Rake Poverty History! The G8 could just sweep all that debt under the rug if they really felt like it. And now you can too! Except with leaves. Outside. But otherwise it sort of fits!

    Slake Poverty History! You’ve got a mighty thirst for justice. And water! The soulless corporate H2O in these Aquafina bottles has been replaced with good ol’ pond water run through a cheesecloth. Take that, AmeriKKKa!

    Flake Poverty History! Sure, cocaine is pretty bad for you and I think it’s illegal, but is it any more illegal than Bu$hi†ler’s war? It is? Well, buy it anyway.

    Etc.

  4. Well, you know, whenever there’s a meeting among serious people concerning serious matters, you can count on the anti-capitalist, anarchy-loving, hygiene-and-intellect-challenged Marxist/Leninist/Maoists to send in the clowns.

  6. If only the G8 leaders would listen to what that guy in the picture has to say… so many of the worlds problems could be solved.

  9. Bedbugs and ballyhoo!

    It is extremely difficult to take them seriously.  I mean, where are the papier mache puppets?

  10. Don’t worry I have it on good authority that the Police at the g8 have been “reinforced” with the sort of people who like hitting fools who don’t respond to politeness.

    Anyway, while their all oop North, I might smash up a few charity shops etc in a bid to raise awareness of economic liberty.

  11. I can just hear that guy in Freedom & Whiskey’s first picture:

    “Get your Smash Capitalism buttons right here.  Only two pounds.  You don’t want to go to the riot without one.  Only two measly pounds.”

  12. God! I love this site.

    A consolidation of global Common Sense to counteract the mind-numbingly retarded ‘activism’ of the left.

  14. As Mark Steyn said about the state of modern protesting.

    "the ongoing process by which the world’s multiple idiocies are becoming one giant, useless force."

  15. Anti-G8 protestors have failed to produce any Protest Babes - they are doomed to failure!

  16. loved the part where he sings:

    DOROTHY
    Well, what would you do with a brain if you had one?

    SCARECROW
    Do? Why, if I had a brain, I could --
    I could while away the hours,
    Conferrin’ with the flowers,
    Consultin’ with the rain.
    And my head I’d be scratchin’
    While my thoughts were busy hatchin’
    If I only had a brain.
    I’d unravel every riddle
    For any individ’le
    In trouble or in pain..

    (Oh, I could tell you why
    The ocean’s near the shore
    I could think of things I never thunk before,
    And then I’d sit—and think some more.
    I would not be just a nuffin’
    My head all full of stuffin’
    My heart all full of pain.
    I would dance and be merry…
    ...Life would be a ding-a-derry
    If I only had a brain!
