in 2005 bij de g8 werden ze vergezeld door yes men duo, ik weet niet of het idee ook uit hun is ontstaan, maar wel uit hetzelfde concept waar de yesmen ook mee werkt.

To those who doubt about the actual message carried through this demonstration, as it can seem ambiguous.
Such parades are parodies, dedicated to take fun out of political opponenents; la société bourgoise is represented here by activists in disguise, along with comedians, following the great tradition of situationnists "détournement".
The events started, and kept spreading since, apparently under the impulsis of the group Manifs de Droite ( http://a360.typepad.com/manifsdedroite/). First a reaction to Sarkozy's election in may 2007, demonstrations were then held about other topics, such as september 29th anti-ecology manifestation in Paris.
I hope that nobody will start consider french people as a thoroughly capitalistic nation; even though an ever-increasing majority seem to turn its back on social issues, the tradition of defending people's rights remains. Fake right-wing demonstration are but part of the wave.
