I have an idea for a business which might only work in San Francisco. I propose to start a protest consulting service…
Need to make a suitably indignant statement about some grave corporate evil, but finding yourself without the time nor energy to spend on it? Call me. I’ll arrange the inflammatory banners, print the vague handbills which basically give no information about the issue, and hire the homeless guys to annoy passers-by with them in front of whichever downtown office you choose…
For an extra fee, I might even come up with a theme protest. With costumes and balloons…
On any given day, there are probably at least five to ten protests being staged (and largely being ignored) in San Francisco. I figure I could make a fortune as long as I could pretend to give a crap about “the cause” long enough to get the contracts signed. Could be even more lucrative if I could score some counter-protests too, as long as I were organizing both sides…
Whaddaya think?
