it could be everyday!


it could be = it can be
everyday.
Mc Donalds famine-corp also subverted the clown.
So activists should consider
reclaiming the Clown!
clowns could offer healthy food options to children and parents instead.
This pamphlet is mega-important to our movement (which crosses contemporary culture, politics and education) because its authors and primary distributors were "un-employed" ["powerless"].

They gave us all hope by their courage and determination.
Just think what challenges they faced throughout those years.

Protests against the Mc Donalds have varied over the years but remember clowning works.
There is nothing more ironic than seeing an outlet of sweatshop consumerism and capitalist subversion of "nutrition + community + information" guarded for the day by police.
The satisfaction is greatest when there is no ostensible reason other than people saying
"this is shit eat shit if you want"
and such.

Beir Bua Gailleamh
Go Go Galway.

who is going to be next?
