The Finch Formerly Known As Gold

Who will protest the protestors?

These guys at Penn:

Six students, led by Engineering junior Tal Raviv, began a ceremonious walk outside Huntsman Hall at noon and processed east toward College Green, where they chanted phrases like "No more protests!" and "Down with activism!"

Raviv said the group was a "very close-knit group of friends" trying to bring some humor to Penn's campus, which he described as "not funny enough."

Now that's what we need: student inactivism.

Reminds me of a mock protest at OU back in 1997. About two dozen people showed up on a Thursday afternoon at the corner of University and Boyd to carry sign with a picture of the face of Andre the Great (yes, the wrestler) inside of a red star and captioned "OBEY GIANT".

Oh for the days when we could put our speakers in the windows, boot up "Doom", and make passing cops duck and look for cover.
