For instance, here's a guy making his living as an anti-capitalist protest coach.

Oh, coach. I thought you wrote "couch". I envisioned a performance artist inviting people to lie on him.

His powers of cognitive dissonance run deep. That's just about the nicest thing I can say about this enterprise.

"I suggest the slogan, 'No to NATO,' " he recently counseled an anti-NATO protester by phone, while sitting in a Paris café. "Use black writing on an orange background. It's more visible to the cameras."
That will be $67. Thank you, come again.

And here I thought all French were born with the protesting gene. Who knew throwing rocks and turning over Citroëns wasn't inborn?

I make a sleazy living "channelling" the spirit of Madelyn Murray-O'Hair...

Coaching tip #1: Always stretch before protesting. Police batons won't hurt as much if you stay flexible.

Does French not have a word for 'irony?'

Coaching tip #2: For similar reasons, relax your body when the riot police grab and twist your arms as they throw you to the ground. Tension will make you more likely to sprain something.

Speaking of cognitive dissonance, this sentence brought flames from the back of my computer:
"Mr. Stella, who runs an export-import firm in Paris, wants to start protesting against the recession and the excesses of the financial system. "I am against excessive consumption," he explained"

Makes sense once you discover he only does business with Art Vandelay for US imports and exports.

What a douche.
chris|4.8.09 @ 5:27PM|#
Art Vandelay...ha ha, I missed that one.

I assume he charges to each according to their ability to pay?

"He marched through a supermarket dressed as a zombie."
Fast or slow? Please comment.

Hey buddy, how much did you pay for that spiffy new Che shirt?
