Clan du Néon :: Paris Video
Thanx to frothyparadise for posting this video of French green activists Clan du Néon, who have started a movement of killing the signage lights on retail venues when they’re closed at night. The Neon Clan’s word is spreading quickly and their fellow activists are submitting videos from across the country.
The final text of this Paris vid explains that all ended well, with the Police letting the Neon peeps go [They kept asking the officers: “Haven’t you ever heard of us? We’re on the internet!”]. The activists ended up at a cafe, celebrating with beers. As it should be, merci. I must also approve of the Ratatat soundtrack. C’est bon.
An English [automatic Google translation] of the entire site can be found here, but I’d recommend starting with their page of English FAQ’s, where you’ll also have a chance to see what these colourful Neon folks like.
