It's not as if there was ever any doubt in my mind that most opposition within Venezuela to the non-renewal of RCTV's public broadcast license came largely from wealthy, elitist, trust-fund brats, but this latest example of it is just too funny. Apparently, they've taken their protests off the streets of the upscale Caracas suburbs and private universities to...this is not a joke...wait for it...luxury shopping malls! Oil Wars has the scoop...and the photos!
"...I suppose this does have its virtues. After a hard day of protesting in front of Banana Republic, Kenneth Cole, and Tommy Hilfger to demand their rights they could go right up to the fourth floor food court and relax as they munched on some sushi.
Anyways, leave it to the Venezuelan opposition to come up with innovative protest venues. If only Cindy Sheehan had thought of this – instead of getting all hot and sweaty protesting in front of Bush's ranch maybe she should have camped out in the local Neiman-Marcus store."
