You know, animals have rights too. They just don’t have the ability to get up and start a protest as we humans do. Imagine, though, if a stampede of squirrels just marched through the streets of Oregon to stand up for themselves. That really would be something.
We simply have to settle for a human dressed up as a squirrel instead. Thankfully, that’s when you end up with seriously funny signs like this one. Come on, White House, all this little squirrel is asking for is a nut! It’s not like they are asking for gender equality, free medical care, and the right to choose. They just want a nut!
We Hope There's a Lot
The sign here doesn't look like it's part of an actual protest. It looks like it could be anything from your standard street crowd to a rally for something, though nobody seems to be pushing for anything, and the demographics of the picture are all over the place.
The person holding this sign seems to be expecting something sweet after getting all gussied up and making a sign to go outside with. The fact that there isn't any cake won't have this person looking forward to his or her next opportunity to step onto the street. We'll turn up to any protest for cake, to be fair.
Pension Problems
This photo was taken during a mass demonstration in Brighton, UK. People working in unions and the public sector took to the streets to protest against the proposed changes to funding cuts and pension plans. These three workers found an ingenious way to take a classic song by the Beatles, “When I’m Sixty-Four,” to make a point about the government’s treatment of soon-to-be pensioners.
They really made the most of the signs too. Each person was holding a sign up while also hanging one from their neck. Every country has issues in its education system, and the United Kingdom is no different.
Fantastic Plastic
There is no denying that one of humanity’s biggest crimes over the last century is the amount of plastic that they have managed to create and waste. As a result, marine life is suffering from the amount of plastic pollution happening in the world’s vast waters.
That’s why many people take to the streets to protest about the overuse of plastic and the damage it does to our planet. Every once in a while, though, a plastic protester puts together a sign that adds a bit of levity to the occasion. As you can see here, they are using the ultimate embodiment of plastic, Barbie, to get their point across.
The Lidless Eye Is Ever Watching
Sauron, the evil enemy that makes life difficult for the members of the Fellowship of the Ring, rules as a huge, burning eye at the top of his impenetrable fortress Barad-dûr. At nearly a mile high, it's the biggest item in the land of Middle-Earth, but even it can't stand up to the height of The Shard, a tall tower built in downtown London.
At a ceremony to celebrate the opening of the huge construction, one man brought a goofy sign that no doubt got him plenty of laughs. Thankfully, the Shard is no evil ruler's tower. It's just a business building that is both quite tall and has a bit of an ominous look.
