Merry pranks for a sober age

Two of my favorite high-concept prankster-protester organizations just teamed up for a project on the Google campus, and got a video produced by BoingBoingTV (hosted by Xeni Jardin, who just makes me all weak-kneed and puddly). Due to some fortuitous timing, the installation happened to occur during a Google shareholder meeting, so the mainstream media was also on hand to record the madness.

Google's security staff, to its credit, seemed to behave with admirable restraint.

To learn more about the participating groups, you can find the official sites for the Billboard Liberation Front here, and for monochrom here.
They are providing the world with a valuable service, so support them!
