I suppose they aren't just for city parks and streets anymore.

3. I suppose it's becoming cultural now.
Good sign I think.

5. LOL.
I actually was impressed with the ticket prices. Cheaper than normal (what other acts with as much popularity charge) where the head liner plays 3 hours non stop. You don't see that anymore.

6. Meh, a friend of mine was chaperoning a dance at his daughters high school...
many of the kids were wearing the mask.

He asked them what it meant to them. Not one knew why other than it was a cool movie.

nothing about OWS or Guy Fawkes.

Warner brothers wins again.

This is the very basic reason why I think using a mask that rewards a corporation as a symbol for an anti-corporate movement is odd.

If anything, protesters should make their own Guy Fawkes masks, but that would be too much trouble, right?

7. I understand.
But these were adults. More likely to know IMO.
