Anonymous have run-in with V for Vendetta cosplayers

Strangely enough,
both parties seemed
to have got the
point of everything’
says Alan Moore

Mer of the
online activist
organization known

as Anonymous held a
gathering for their lat-
est cause in London on
Monday, November 5.
In conjunction with their
more global attempt to
shut down Facebook on
the same day, a small

  

protest group with
reported numbers of up
to five people rallied the
sidewalk outside the
Houses of Parliament.

Brandishing their
traditional Guy Fawkes
masks and signs with
images of the popular
Pokémon Slowpoke
demanding “N-Olympics
4 us” and “Get the games
out,” it was evident the
group was just wasting
everybody’s time.

To quote one
bystander, they
were “Trolling.”

After protesting for
roughly three hours, at
2:15 p.m. a somewhat
larger group of report-
edly eight people showed
up, also wearing Guy
Fawkes masks, as well

as black garb including
capes and pilgrim hats.
After a few moments
of nervous chatter, a
member from the larger
group apparently asked
if Anonymous wouldn’t
mind stepping aside.
According to one
bystander, the larger
group was likely looking
for a good spot to save
before the festivities of
Guy Fawkes Night, also
known as Bonfire Night.
It was not long before
the smaller group retali-
ated, with four members
attacking the larger
group with their picket
signs. The fifth member,
a female, ran off and
hid behind one of the
building’s corners. Her
reaction, as well as her

four partners’ reactions,
was likely caused by the
fact that they weren’t
sure what they were
doing there to begin with.

After police arrived
on the scene, all
five members of the
Anonymous group were
taken into custody.

When asked why
they acted out so vio-
lently, one member stated
he thought the larger
group was a threat.

When asked how, the
same member responded
with what I will attempt
to type as, “Lawl,” fol-
lowed by, “I don’t know.”

The Other Press spoke
with one of the members
of the larger group
by phone, who ironi-
cally wished to remain

Well, it’s November. Time to get
started on the annual house cleaning.
Be warned: the dust bunnies living
behind your shelf have become
sentient. They hunger for socks.

The Internet ts a revolutionary device that has created true freedom of speech, and,
of course, YouTube comedy classics.

Who would have thought that fishing could be funny? This compilation

is awkward, strange, and somehow a gut-busting, hilarious guilty
pleasure of mine. Unfortunately, it has been removed from YouTube due to
copyright issues. But luckily for you, it has been reposted to wimp.com. So
enjoy it before they take it down again.

You seem to be on the edge of a cliff
today with your arms embracing the
sun. Wait a minute, you're actually
stuck inside a motivational poster!
The caption reads ‘Generic Success
Pose.’

Oh no! Some prankster has tampered
with the college’s ventilation system
and now papers are flying like
snowflakes. I’m not sure what the
culprit’s motive might be, but it
might have been to get rid of the
smell of rotting squirrel corpses
coming from their closet.

Aries (3/21-4/19)

Wow, that hit of acid you took on
Halloween sure was powerful.
You can still see people’s

words as they come out of their
mouths. Try not to get trapped in
califragilisticexpialidocious.

Taurus (4/20-5/20)

The day seemed to be expansive,
which you will appreciate. With this
new expansion pack, you can fly
around the world and turn into a
vampire! Isn’t The Sims 3 great!

Gemini (5/21-6/21)

There will be some communication
with an old friend today. This person
will want their DVD of The Hottie
and the Nottie back. You probably
shouldn’t tell them that you already
burned it out of concern for your
friend’s self-respect.

anonymous. He stated,
“T could tell right away
that [Anonymous] were
from out of the country.”
He backed up his claim
by stating the group did
not seem to understand
what exactly November 5
meant on a grander scale.

When I asked what
it meant to him, he took
several seconds to think
it over before declar-
ing, “The fireworks
are pretty great.”

As a fan of the
Alan Moore series V for
Vendetta, it’s become
clear to this reporter
that no one really
understands what Guy
Fawkes Day is about.

Cancer (6/22-7/22)

Today, you find that you can’t stop
talking about the most random

thing that comes to mind. Ooh, look!
There’s a crow on a lawn! He’s eating
that old McDonald’s bag! What does
he think that bag is? A fish?

Leo (7/23-8/22)

Your mind can go anywhere today.
With a mind like that, you can be
the next big thing! However, you'll
actually just sit in front of the TV
watching MythBusters.

Virgo (8/23-9/22)

People are more likely to listen to
you today. It must be something to
do with the fact that you still haven’t
changed out of your RoboCop
costume. Either RoboCop draws a
lot of attention or it could just be

the horrible stench that you’ve been
emitting.

Libra (9/23-10/22)

You’ll disagree with the information
that you receive today. You'll be

told that you only got a C+ on your
project about the moral values of My
Little Pony: Friendship is Magic when
you thought you deserved an A.

Scorpio (10/23-11/21)

Climatic events are bound to

occur in your life today. Like the
battle between a robot Hitler and a
tyrannosaurs in an F-14! You really,
really wouldn’t want miss that!

Sagittarius (11/22-12/21)

Now would be a good time to step up
your communication skills. You’ve
already said “Hi” to people, so why
not ask them about their day?
