Poetic Terrorism

My first idea is to post graphic pictures and ads of starving children in the stalls of the bathrooms in high-end fancy boutique restaurants. (the ones that charge a ridiculous amount of money for a tiny amount of food and all you pay for is the presentation and atmosphere).

Hopfully the people who eat at the resturants will see this and realize that as they are spending eccessive amounts of money on a resturant that makes miniscule amounts of food for the sake of tasting rather than fullfilling ones hunger, there are kids in other parts of the world who dont even have the luxury of eating that amount of food for free. I think that for the most part, the people who go to these resturants need the wake up call the most, because they are for the most part caught up in their own world and oblivious to outside problems. Hopfully they see how lucky they are to be able to eat at those kinds of resturants at their leisure, and mabye even take action upon it.

My second idea is to go around a number of gas stations in a certain area and stick either "out of order" signs or construction tape around each gas machine.

Hopefully of the bat, people will become alarmed, but will probably discover shortly it was a prank. It will probably mostly affect those who are running on empty. And after hoping from one station to another, hopfully they will become angry or fustrated, and after realizing it was a prank, see how dependent they are on their cars.
