LA SURVIVAL GUIDE

A IS FOR ANONYMOUS

07.02

I've been down in Hollywood a couple of times when these big Scientology protests are happening, and if you haven't seen the anti-Scientology group "Anonymous" at work, you're really missing out. Whether you agree with their cause of not, we can all agree these guys are going about this all wrong.

First of all, Anonymous is a grassroots internet movement. This means that by nature, the people involved are internet savvy (read: overweight) and well-informed (read: have not spent a whole lot of time outdoors). One would probably only feel physically threatened by this group if one was an unattended box of glazed donuts.

Their sloth-like demeanor aside, Anonymous is also hard to take seriously because their MO seems to be "disapproval from afar." While I have never heard of a proactive Anonymous "write your congressman" campaign, I have seen plenty of strongly worded YouTube videos and a large amount of docile chillin' (protesting) outside the Hollywood Scientology centers.
