THE V FOR VENDETTA MASK

The 2006 film V For Vendetta popularized the Guy Fawkes mask as a symbol of rebellion. The mask was worn by an anarchist named V in the film and has since become a revolutionary symbol for protesters.
V wears the Guy Fawkes mask for almost the entire film and used Fawkes' story as a role model in his quest to end the Norsefire rule – a fictional fascist political party ruling the UK in the original comic book series. This was because V felt Guy Fawkes was right in trying to bring down what he felt was an oppressive government during his day.
Over 100,000 of the masks are now sold worldwide per year. BEST LINE OF THE FILM
"People should not be afraid of their governments; governments should be afraid of their people."
LET'S MAKE IT SO!

Sorry, Bigots: You're Dumb

Science has confirmed what some of us long suspected: People with racist and rabid right-wing views are stupid. A new study finds that children with low intelligence grow into Tea Party-ish adults who want black, gay and other troubling types to just go away. Stupid people may not like the findings and protest with signs like this. As always, we wish them better spelling.

"Finance capital is the collective wealth of humanity. The money controlled by Wall Street was not generated by the unique brilliance, commitment to labour and willingness to assume risk on the part of the financial elite. It was generated by the wars in the Congo and Iraq. It comes from the mines in Johannesburg, the long labor of the men who worked those mines and the equally long labor of the women that kept the homes of the miners in the villages of the Eastern Cape. It comes from the dispossession, exploitation, work and creativity of people around the world. That wealth, which has been captured and made private, needs to be made public. The immediate task for the young people inspired by the occupations that have spread from Cairo to New York via Madrid and Athens is to make common cause with the rebellion of the poor."
