Those wacky protestors

[jocefus]

A self-styled Spiderman defied strong
winds to scale a 47-storey Paris skyscraper without safety equipment on Tuesday to protest the war in Iraq. Frenchman Alain Robert had onlooking office workers and police on tenterhooks as he slowly worked his way up the 180 meter-high TotalFinaElf skyscraper in the La Defense business center in the west of the city. "It's as mad as the war itself," said Fatisha Amraoui, nervously puffing on a cigarette as she watched Robert climb. "I think it'll take more than this to make animpression on Bush and Blair, but it's good all the same. It makes you think."

Robert reached the top in about 45 minutes, winning cheers and applause from a small crowd gathered below. "The war that the Americans and the British are waging is illegal," Robert, holding up a "No War" banner, told reporters after being escorted by police back down the building -- using a lift.

Polls show the French overwhelmingly oppose the U.S.-led war in Iraq.

Robert has several arrests and minor charges to his name for climbing skyscrapers and other landmarks. His tally includes the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Empire State Building in New York, the 54-floor Shinjuku Tower in Tokyo and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.

that's a good protest: creative, eye-grabbing, and non-violent. You can laugh if you want, but he singlehandedly made his point, and no McDonalds were trashed either
