Anarchists protest V for Vendetta


If you thought Alan Moore was upset with the film version of V for Vendetta, you ain't seen nothing yet. An anarchist group called "A for Anarchy" will protest against Time Warner, DC Comics and AMC next week in an effort to "educate moviegoers on the promise of anarchy":

4/17: International A for Anarchy Action Day!

While V for Vendetta has been playing for a few weeks in the US, its only just premiered in Spain and a range of other for countries. The time is now here to ramp up this effort! We're calling for creating actions worldwide to educate moviegoers on the promise of anarchy and to take a parting shot at the corporations behind the film V for Vendetta film for eviscerating the anarchist politics of the original V for Vendetta graphic novel.

12:30-1:30PM Time Warner Center, 59th St and Columbus Circle
1:45-2:30PM DC Comics, 1700 Broadway between 53rd and 54th Streets
2:45-3:30PM AMC Empire 25, 234 West 42nd St. at 8th Avenue (this may change closer to date)

Come to leaflet, hold posters and banners, take pictures and video (bring your cameras) of the action!


For more information, check out the World War 4 website or the A for Anarchy website. The New York Metro also has a story on their previous protests.

So, who's in charge of these protests?

I know, cheap, easy joke.

Heh. It was all I could do not to make the same joke in my post.

I wish someone would stage a counter protest on the theme "I for Irrelevant"
