Environmental activists ‘the Extinction Rebellion’ want you to abandon all hope that we’re going to survive global warming.
A group of activists recently gatecrashed the retirement dinner of former HMRC boss, Dave Hartnett. They gained entrance to the event by pretending to be representatives from Vodafone and Goldman Sachs. Watch them present him with a fake award for his services to “corporate tax avoidance”. What makes it even funnier is the fact that it took a while before people realised they were being punked.
Greenpeace recently teamed up with activist pranksters, The Yes Men. Their goal? To rip Shell a new one over their planned Arctic oil drilling. Step inside, and watch a great (and hilarious) example of how social media and activism have become inseparable.
Our friends from FEMEN, the topless Ukrainian protest group, have struck again – this time at the Euro 2012 trophy display in Poland. They are protesting the prestigious sporting event and the economies of prostitution and sex trafficking that spring up around it. See their passionate cries for justice after the jump.
To mark International Women’s Day today, SlutWalk Founder Sonya Barnett has designed the Nude Revolutionary Calendar. Featuring topless Iranian woman, this move is both a middle finger to political Islam, as well as a fundraiser towards “supporting women’s rights and free expression.” This promotional video has just been released online.
