About a dozen people managed to sing six anti-consumer Christmas carols in a Winnipeg mall on Saturday before security removed them. The group promotes “Buy Nothing Christmas” because they are disgusted by the commercialization of the season.
They sung their carols beside “Santa’s House.”
Greenpeace activists entered a conference where Tony Blair was about to deliver a speech about the positive qualities of nuclear power and told the attendees that nuclear power is very dangerous. Blair champions the construction of new nuclear power plants.
Blair’s presence at the conference was kept secret, but rumors swirled that he would be present.
From the article:
“After a 40-minute stand-off – during which the protesters dropped yellow “nuclear fall-out” confetti on the delegates and Mr Blair went off and had a cup of tea – the CBI’s director general, Sir Digby Jones, emerged, somewhat embarrassed, to say that the speech would go ahead in another room.”

Its own about section Childs Play desribes its foundation as a way to remove the stigma surrounding gamers as “bad people” by donating toys, money and of course games to various childrens hospitals around the world. I think this amazing process should be repeated at nausseum to all identifiable groups in an attempt to make them feel bad about themselves, causing massive charitable donations.
All kidding aside, this is a good action and probably has eased the hospital transition for a number of children raising nearly $1 million dollars in three years towards this cause.
