MIME PROTEST GOES UNNOTICED
By Stockton
A group of mimes may have been protesting outside of the Republican National Convention in New York, Wednesday afternoon. Few delegates noticed the possible protest and none understood what they were seeing.
"At first I thought it was entertainment," said Elsie Gruber, a delegate from South Dakota, who stood near the mimes for thirty minutes before noticing them. "Then someone said it was a protest. I really have no idea but I'm against whatever they're for and I'm for whatever they're against."
Teresa Klein, from Dayton, Ohio also eventually noticed the mimes. "I think it was a protest but that's about it. One of them seemed to be afraid of being boxed in. That's all I know."
At one point, the mimes all laid down in the street. Larry Talbot was confused. "Maybe they're protesting a budget cut in narcolepsy research. It beats me."
In response to questions, the head mime began to draw an imaginary circle.
Protesters, or just creepy and annoying?
