Million Mask March
The Million Mask March, aka Guy Fawkes Day, aka Occupy Wall Street Part II Electric Boogaloo was a multi-city protest by Anonymous that took place in 450 cities worldwide. Despite Anonymous' desire to have a million people participate in the protest, it is not yet clear how many participated. Some cities had a large turnout numbering into the thousands, while most cities experienced this result:
Martha Gill
Despite Anonymous's attempt to draw a million people, several thousand came, but an old media blogger by the name of Martha Gill was exposed as an idiot and a poor journalist. After deciding that an image of Brazilians producing Guy Fawkes masks could only depict sweatshop conditions, Ms Gill found herself on the receiving end of the wrath of Anonymous.
—Martha Gill, starting off poorly |
Ms Gill's refusal to adhere to even the most basic of journalistic standards infuriated Anonymous, starting with the first line of her crappy blog. In this opening refrain, she claims that Anonymous is best known for their choice of "headgear".
Russel Brand
Included in the attendees for the Million Mask March in London was noted junkie and fame whore Russel Brand, who appeared to miss the point of Anonymous as a group, when he took off his mask for some reason.
