On funny European means of protest.
Europeans are funny.
For example, when French dairy farmers protest they do not receive enough subsides, they pour untold liters of milk on the streets.
And when the Italians are opposed to a new city dump, they pour untold kilos of garbage on the streets:
Did you ever want to know what 2,400 tons of trash looks like? Well, wonder no more! A garbage strike in Italy has led to public protests, intense finger-pointing, and a whole heckuva lot of trash piling up in the streets of Naples.
So, what's the problem? City trash wasn't being collected because of public outrage over a proposed city dump. The trash piled up, and then protesters just started adding to it, dumping their refuse in the streets. Now the European Union is threatening to slap sanctions on Italy if it doesn't clean up the mess.
Yes, really funny. :S
