22. As funny as this is, it HAS a serious side.

People do not feel represented, they do not have easy access to have their opinions heard, and so they lash out with "seemingly" outrageous tactics.

It's human nature..

It's why toddlers throw tantrums, why teenagers "act-out"....

When people are not heard, they do whatever it takes to BE heard..

Poop, pies in the face, signs hidden away until a camera is aimed their way.. It's all a form of protest. Protest that gets stifled in the public arena , just gets re-directed in other inventive ways..

Humans are resourceful critters :)
