Enviromental Protestors are pretty cool.

For obvious reasons environmental campaigners don't get much publicity but the innovative methods of opposition to one of the key ways big companies make themselves out to be the good guys need to be acknowledged. The thrust of this article is opposition to funding of prestigious art galleries in the UK: http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/jun/24/galleries-museums-summer-protest-bp-arts-sponsorship

In a separate development, musicians including Lady Gaga, Korn, Disturbed, Godsmack, Creed, and the Backstreet Boys said they planned to boycott BP on their national tours this year.

Now I was going to mock the Backstreet boys et al boycotting BP and to be fair its probably just a stab at populism but still on a matter like this its all too easy to let snobbery and elitism cloud a good development. Artists should be encouraged if they're doing something good regardless of the reason or who they are. Save your disdain for artists that aren't doing anything at all, its what I'm trying to do.
