NAARP: Fighting for the rights of Redheads everywhere

I just happened to see this at the Consumerist, and figured I'd share it. Has nothing to do with Taiwan:



Improv Everywhere - a ragtag group dedicated to poking holes in the social contract by causing "scenes of chaos and joy in public places" - recently staged a rally that highlights how corporate logos are often ridiculous caricatures. The group gathered a batch of redheads in mock protest against Wendy's stereotypically pasty and freckled redheaded logo. Watch the NAARP (National Association for the Advancement of Redheaded People) get red with anger as they lobby to give Wendy some pigment.
For those of you not familiar with the group, these are the same guys that organized a group of 200+ people to go into a Home Depot, with synchronized watches, to all start walking in slow-motion at the same time. They might also be the group who sent hundreds of people into a Best Buy wearing blue polo shirts with khakis....yep, it's them.
