A few years ago, just out of mock protest, I started pronouncing it FEB-roo-airy. I don't know if it's correct or not, but sometimes I just like to stick-it to my mother tongue.

Really!?! Any protest, huh? So you'd be glad to see half a million Westboro Baptists picketing the funeral of a gay man? Or how about 500K KKK members marching through The South protesting miscegenation?

Witness the gullible throngs who blithely sigh petitions banning dihydrogen monoxide.

Penn & Teller: Bullshït had a great segment on the desire for many to protest just for the sake of protesting, regardless of weather they believed in—or even understood—what was being protested.

Other than an exultation of joy, there doesn't seem to be a consensus.

Fred Phelps doesn't have that many family members.

So...I'm guessing this thread isn't about the student/labor protests about the new youth labor laws in France...

See what happens when you select the BBC as your primary news source.

At least now I know why my commute this morning was twice interupted by street closures, emergency vehicles and mobs of people.

I still love my iPod though

I misspoke - the first incident wasn't protests at all, but the fatal shooting of an off-duty LA Sheriff deputy 6 blocks from our home.
