    If I'm going the pay 150 euros to a woman, I'm going to want her to do something other than just say no.

        How unique is this verses say Bumvertising, other than of course the outlandish Euroweenie wage rate?

          This happens sometimes in the US, in one fashion or another. I've only seen lefties do it here, though.

          Personally, I think it's way too expensive.
          I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

              Yup, I'm not gonna pay 2-3 days worth of work for someone to protest. I can do it for free just as well.

                It could be excellent for think-tanks backed by the capitalists. They tend to have much more money than manpower. And 300 demonstrators, if located at the right place in the right outfit, can be mediatic enough that it shows how "popular" their ideas are.
                Copy and pasting the image of 300 to make it look like 3 million is easy after that too.

                  This sounds

                  very similar to being a movie extra. It also appears that movie extras cost less.


                  So, just tell them you are making a movie about a political protest and pay them the movie extra rate.

                      There are already Mercenary Posters. The Teamsters have had mercenary picketers for decades. Even when another union represented the workers, they'd hire picketers with signs that said "Unfair to Labor". All Statewide California initaives that are put on the ballot by petitioners (not the legislature) , with the possible exception of pot legislation, hire workers. They require over a million signatures to get on the ballot, the infrastructure is just too huge to succeed with volunteers
