The Army of Clowns

At the Anti War in Afghanistan Demo last year in Berlin, there was also the army of clowns and the initiative against the "bombodrom" which is a territory near Berlin, where the German army plans to practice dropping bombs. Since activists - at the run up of the protests against the G8 summit last summer - painted a watch tower pink - which freaked out the army officials who hasted to repaint it, as for them pink is the colour of homosexuality , feminism and all the other things that offend them, the symbol colour of the campaign is now pink and the slogan is "Every target is a home" since the target pyramid there was designed as abstract as possible to keept the soldiers practicing from thinking of the people they would kill if they dropped a bomb on them.
