I have been trying to avoid writing about the different protests going on in Beijing. There haven’t been a lot as security is so tight, but the ones did take place got headlines from media around the world. This one however, is slightly more bizarre.

An American pastor checked into the Novotel Peace Hotel and painted the walls with “Beijing 2008 Our world Our nightmare” and a quote from the bible. He trashed the room and left without paying he repeat the exercise at another hotel, recorded it and uploaded the videos to YouTube.

He called it the “Gadfly Project”. He is still on the run and even managing to maintain his blog.
