Let me start out by saying I think the current protestors in New York are doing more harm than good. If all those people would get as excited about voting as they are about causing disturbances around the RNC they'd have the November election in the bag, but I'm willing to bet at least 30% of the protestors won't (or legally can't due to age) show up at the polls when the time comes to do something more profound than throw hissy fits on the convention floor.

However, I have to admit one of the pranks they came up with is chuckle-worthy. From CNN,
    About 30 activists wearing pig snouts assembled at a breakfast sponsored by gas and oil supplier Halliburton...Calling the company "Hallibacon," the snout-wearing protesters stuffed fake money with Cheney's image on it into their mouths.
They took the time to print up fake money with Cheney's picture on it. That's kinda cute. You could print up some $477 billion dollar bills with Bush's picture, a few 10 cent notes with Kerry's, and have yourself a game of Modern Despot Monopoly.

UPDATE: Somebody actually DID make and use bills with George W. Bush printed on them. Congrats to the cashier at the Fashion Bug in Hempfield Township, Pa., who accepted one of the $200 notes; not only is Dubya most certainly NOT on any of our currency, there also is no 200-dollar denomination in circulation.
