Improv Everywhere was at it again recently. Their latest mission? Protesting Wendy's "racist logo" with over 50 redheads, numerous protest signs and some catchy chants on hand. ”Biggie Size Bigotry!, Value Menu Us! and Where’s Our Beef? In Your Logo!” are some of our faves.
Head over to the site for more on the "protest" as well as a look at what it's like to ride the subway and suddenly realize you're surrounded by ginger kids. Improv Everywhere points out "redheads only make up 1% of the world’s population, and with the racial diversity of the New York subway system, it’s probably an even smaller percentage." And yes, they took the 1/red line.
