Who says twenty-somethings are apathetic? (Other than their parents, of course, who are still begging them to grow up and move out.)
Ripping a page out of the "Billionaires for Wealthcare" playbook, who last year blitzed a healthcare conference with this gem, Agit Pop and Backbone Campaign invaded a local Target with a parody musical presentation of Depeche Mode's People are People to protest the retail chain's $150,000
Donation to Tom Emmer, the anti-choice, anti-gay marriage, anti-waitress, anti-contraception Republican candidate for Governor. (Although we imagine that if you're anti-waitress, it should follow that you're anti-contraception.)
"If you see Tiger, please tell him to call me"
The musical also highlighted the creepy Big Brother-esque Supreme Court decision to recognize corporations as persons ("SOYLENT GREEN, INCORPORATED - IT'S PEOPLE! AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!) so companies can now donate as much as they want to candidates. Now that's democracy in action!
