Protests

Comic-Con 2012 always gets its fair share of weirdos. Clearly by "weirdos" we're referring to "religious protesters." Usually, it's the Westboro Baptist Church behind these anti-comic-book-nerd events, but this time around we've got a different band of unnamed Christians to thank for 2012's collective statement against the false prophet Superman and his followers.

When the Westboro Baptist Church announced their intention to target the funeral of Texas A&M alum Lt. Col. Roy Tisdale, his fellow Aggies didn't take it sitting down. In fact, with a little help of Facebook, more than 500 students at Texas A&M showed up at the burial in College Park, Texas.

Protesters try to hit IMF official Mark Lewis with eggs as he gives a speech in Turkey, but Lewis proves too quick for them.

Can you tell me how to get to 'Occupy Sesame Street'? Grover's in trouble! Spawned from the far-more-serious Occupy Wall Street movement, which has now spread to 25 cities, the Occupy Sesame Street spoof has invaded the Web. It's about time Kermit and the gang stood up for employee rights at the Jim Henson Workshop.

A protest aimed at Utah's conservative politics has set a Guinness world record for the most people running in their underwear at the same time. Talk about a "fun run"!

Seems those crazy kids who make up the Occupy Wall Street movement are getting an early start on their Halloween festivities. As the protests enter their third week, organizers have issued a directive asking participants to join in for Zombie Flesh Mob Day.
