G20 - the unofficial eye

Posted by Diane Smyth on 03 Apr 2009

One of the funniest takes on the G20 protests comes courtesy of Vice Magazine. And while the cynical take on the politics involved (on either side) reveals a disturbing apathy among the nation's trendy youth, it's also pretty smart, and includes some interesting snippets for media-watchers.

'There seemed to be so many more journalists than protesters at this point that I almost ditched my camera for an acoustic and some Birkenstocks just to make up the numbers. All the camera men were shouting things like: “Break it!” “Smash them!” and “Kill the pig!” to try and rile the protesters,' writes James Knight, while photographers James Pearson-Howes (aka Queenie) and Jamie Teate's images provide a mordant take on proceedings.
