During the Anti-Capitalist May Day demonstrations of 2002, shop windows were smashed, among other things.
One shop had this notice on their shop window:
“Dear May Day Protestors,
Please kindly do not smash our windows.
Thank you.”
Underneath the notice were two helpful arrows, pointing in opposite directions, with “Starbucks” below one and “McDonalds” below the other.
Another one was a letter in the papers:
“Dear May Day Protestors,
Please do not thrash our office.
We are perfectly capable of doing it ourselves from within.
[signed] Staff, Arthur Andersen”
