Protest is a peaceful way for a group of people to demonstrate their opinion about certain issue or an event- well in some cases it goes out of hand and there you go… big fight and police interfere with their sticks hammering left and right! Last Friday an unknown man poured dye into Rome's Trevi Fountain, turning the water into bright blood-red. More information on this here. There are many forms for protests, and for many purposes. There are protests related to an international event, such as the many and many protests against the war in Iraq. An example is shown on a video by heavy metal band, System of A Down video, called Boom:
There are others more spicific protests, such as that against recycled water, which in the protests' opinion will cause infertility. However, there are other protests that goes more and more specific, such as this one....
Some would seek a leader for their protest, like in this one...
Sometimes it goes out of the hand...
There are more explicit, maybe too obvious like the one in 2006 against global dependence on oil.
While watching and reading all this, I thought of the question: What is the strangest way to protest?

Thanks, Gale, I have seen it and it is hilarious, unfortunately the video on youtube is marked private.

"Australian protest against Bush in Australia" ;)
U have to admit it was a unique and very Australian way to show disapproval...:)
