So begins a computer game ad in yesterdays Evening Standard.
State of Emergency may well be one of the hottest games in modern day history, BUT THEY RIPPED INSPIRATION OFF OF OUR MOVEMENT!

State of Emergency declared as shadowy corporation seizes control of your country... Now is the time to fight for your freedom... A State of Emergency is Declared on Oxford Street
If only ;-)
Supposed to be modelled on the protests aginst the WTO in Seattle, talk about the corporations getting inspiration from us activists!
Still one must wonder what can happen if some naughty citizens organise autonomous actions inside the event. Leaflet throwing, electricity sabotage, talking to wannabe gamers..... The mind boggles to think what could happen.
From 9pm till late, Thursday nite @ Virgin, Oxford Street
(eunuch, more like, if you ask me).
