Protest [made] Fun!


Currently, in Taipei, Taiwan, there is a million-person sit-in campaign outside the capitol building in order to rid the country of their president. Since the weather has been a bit rainy, there is an on-line version of the campaign for those who would rather sit at home infront of their computers while eating their yummy chicken feet. Members of this on-line protest may log-in with custom characters, and then do as they please (or do nothing at all). There are also mini games to pass the time and present a platform for political satire. For instance, every once in a while the president will step outside and anounce to the mob that he will not resign. Members then have the opportunuty to mob their president in response.

I don't think an American version of this game is too impossible (just kidding, AOL-Time Warner internet spies!).
