4. The following people are to be released from their captors: In Northern Ireland, the seven members of the New Provo Front. In Canada, the five imprisoned leaders of Liberte de Quebec. In Sri Lanka, the nine members of the Asian Dawn Movement.
Mind you, if they start throwing their orange paint and powder around at pride, they'll just blend in as everyone's gonna be brightly coloured anyways.

Well that's one way to make sure everyone knows you're a bellend.
"Just Stop Pissing Everyone Off"
What a bunch of crybaby wankers. Planet is dying and these banana splits are annoyed because they were mildly inconvenienced by a protest.
strawberry float these people.

If that circle of jerks was preventing the protestors from moving on, they should be prosecuted for false imprisonment (which doesn't apply to the protestors' blocking of traffic, because you can turn around and go a different way).

Protesters have thrown soup at the glass-protected Mona Lisa painting in France, calling for the right to "healthy and sustainable food".
The 16th Century painting by Leonardo da Vinci is one of the world's most famous artworks, and is held at the Louvre in central Paris.
It sits behind bulletproof glass so is unlikely to have been damaged.
Video shows two female protesters wearing T-shirts that read "food counterattack" throwing the liquid.
They then stand in front of the painting, saying: "What is more important? Art or the right to healthy and sustainable food?
"Your agricultural system is sick. Our farmers are dying at work," they add.
Museum security are then seen putting black screens in front of them before the room is evacuated.
A group called Riposte Alimentaire ("Food counterattack") claimed responsibility for the stunt.
In a statement sent to AFP news agency, they said the soup throwing marked the "start of a campaign of civil resistance with the clear demand... of the social security of sustainable food".

The usual right wing gobshites are calling for them to be shot/imprisoned for life. Because throwing soup on glass is a very serious crime.

I just don't get throwing soup at art. Why don't they throw it at a government building instead?

Because you don't get worldwide headlines by chucking soup at the French ministry of agriculture.
Whereas chucking it at the (fully protected behind thick glass) Mona Lisa gets you to the top of the news broadcasts everywhere.

They must have been really bored.
Must be annoying though for those who travelled a long way to visit the museum in the hope of seeing the painting.
Mind you, for France, it is tame, I remember walking down the champs elysees after a protest, half the shops there had their windows smashed in and one of the news kiosks was a burned out shell.

They're not protesting because they're bored

Because it's normally a totally pleasant and unspoiled viewing experience otherwise.

People are going to be livid when they find out what Janelle Monáe plans to do with the painting.
