A bunch of Greenpeace protestors tried to stage a protest to disrupt a trading floor and found out that preaching to the real world can be a tough gig.
It's funny how they characterize their invasion to sound peaceful.

hahaha. They get an A for Attempt. :) Lucky for the traders, they weren't in this country, or the police would have hauled them off as well.

Rape alarms were tied to helium balloons to float to the ceiling and create noise out of reach.
that's pretty ingenious, gotta admit.

greenies seem to be real thinkers, with stuff like this. i mean it wouldn't have come up with that.
and that "pre-hammer undetectable earthenware stakes deep into trees to destroy chainsaws" thing from years ago was seriously brilliant.

it's a shame they feel they gotta make such a ruckas. but really i guess if you look at it, their message IS pretty important.
bleh, but it just comes across as obnoxious. :(

Yup, brillant. Especially when the cutting chains snapped and whipped into the chainsaw operator. I guess the color of blood is "brillant" also, eh Roidy. :roll:

Ossama bin Laddin thinks the same of the message he sent us.
I think they both have over reacted.
The only redeeming factor for the greenies, and I'm being generous here, is, in spite of the chainsaw/spike thing I think they haven't actually killed anyone...yet.
Although a couple of them have killed themselves accidentally, falling from tree's and boats I believe.
