Operation: 24/7

Britfags, you know that Kleenex ad with the guy who sets up a sofa in the street and invites people to sit with him for a chat? Reminds me of that...

I was thinking exactly that! In fact, why not play on that? Have a box of tissues and a sign saying if you're stressed come and talk to us, free! People will get the ad reference.

Even better if someone can source an inflatable sofa. Hell, I can source an inflatable sofa- if you want one, I will gladly buy it. PM me.

Edit: But I would need an address to send it to since I am not a Londoner. :(

By the way: In addition to dressing as anons and tea-drinking anime characters, Alice in Wonderland tea times are highly recommended. Dress as Alice in Wonderland characters and pass the time by reading out lines from the book at each other, with proper acknowledgement from the other.

You SHOULD know why.

Yes, we know... but would Joe Public know?

Without the right signage, this renactment will only give rise to the idea, this is some wierd fetish that Anonymous and CoS share.

Of course the shouting of "Off with his head" etc. wouldn't be the only activity going on. Matter-of-fact signs kind of ruin it, but if there was a simple sign saying "Free Communication Course" or something that might be good - of course made in a font fitting to doll house style tea sets.
Have an ash tray and shout to that too.
And there would be speaking normally to the public as well, leaflets etc.
Of course every Scientologist picks up the Alice in Wonderland reference.

^^^ THIS.

Also, Signage: Reenactment of an acutal Scientology training session.

I only skimmed through this thread, so if this was already mentioned, please excuse me.

Regarding the legality, I thought I'd quote something from the ACLU "Right to Protest" brochure.

Also, from reading other literature it seems to indicate that most of the time, no permit is required as long as pedestrians aren't being harassed. It would be worth checking local authorities prior to doing the first event with this, but it seems like for the most part, no permits would be required.

Also, I love this idea.

I like the idea of a dramatization of the Xenu story, right there on the street. Maybe even in mime, with a narrator. People love to hate mime and it suits the masks well.

It seems DC has been holding Operation : Tea Party.

Any other cities doing anything with this?
