But during the time where the Olympics are taking place, they don't need publicity, since no one actually cares that they are there. They won't accomplish anything at all, except piss Event go'ers/party go'ers off by being in the way and disrupting everything.
*I was against the Olympics coming before, because of how expensive they were, but they have transformed Vancouver into a surreal place. It's amazing, and was actually worth it.

So give them 30 seconds on TV, big deal. Sure, they are idiots for doing it now. If they wanted to make a difference they'd hold a big rally when there's nothing else happening to make the news.

Which really means they are just attention whores. The only people who can make the government do something are local voters. Do you think international media, or more specifically international Olympic viewers give a shit? Not likely.

they did a story about the protesters and the message was basically they are so many causes going on that people walking past have no idea what they are doing - one guy said it was nice to see that they have the right to free speach in canada but had no idea what their cause was
