"Radical" :

Sprays famous rocks with corn starch
Throws soup at some plexiglass
Glues hand to some road (more damage to the hand than the road) and makes a temporary trafic jam.

You can't get less radical than this, because then it wouldn't be a protest.

These people have my respect, because they play "the traditional media" like a fiddle.
