Pity poor Mike Daisey. Not only is he named after . . . a flower (you have to read Kevin Henkes to get that one) but part of his audience takes a powder in the middle of his show. Sorry, dude, but the expression on your face is worth sitting through the 10 minutes of the clip. Turns out it was a Christian group protesting his use of the f-word among other offenses in his act.
Speaking of Christians and civil disobedience (and I use that term loosely here) I have long since lost my religion but many years ago in Catholic high school I had this teacher that was fond of showing us films on that crappy projector thing that always broke. All of us were required to wear jackets to school. So one day during a film, we all got up at precisely the same time, took our jackets off, slung them on the back of our chairs and sat down. Ten minutes later, we all got up, put our jackets back on and sat. Now there’s a silent protest for ya. I, of course, had nothing to do with the planning of that. Nothing whatsoever. We didn’t see any more films after that, however, so my work was done. He he he.
