The Anit-essay reading response

Poetic terrorism is a little extreme in my opinion. After reading this I was just a little shocked at some of the suggestions that it made for public attention. For some who are a little more extreme than I am it may seem like a good idea, but going to extremes that could potentially end one in jail is a little too far. There are much better ways to state opinions and arguments than vandalizing public property. Kidnapping someone and making them happy is also way too far. Sure, making someone happy in definitely a good intention, but the cops might not really understand when they chase you down and throw you in jail. Poetic Terrorism is a great name for this act, no doubt about it.
Street theatre is not near as risky as poetic terrorism. In fact, I like this idea much better. Public theatre is free for both the actors and the viewers. Little or no props are involved in this which means less money has to be spent. This is probably what the very first plays were like. They were set in a public place, making it available for anyone to view. This method is a good way to get any sort of message across to public viewers.
Street performance is only similar to street theatre in the sense that public space is used to draw crowds, and the performers work in hopes of getting money from the audience. Street performance is based mainly on mind-blowing tricks, and risky life-threatening stunts. If the tricks and stunts are fascinating enough, the audience typically gives money to the performers. This seems to be a fun way to draw a crowd and make a little money.
Chalk art is a neat and creative way for public advertisement, or just recognition. It is definitely for those of us who can actually draw, unlike people like me, who can barley, legibly write their name. I think it is neat and a good, legal way to advertise for events.
The mock-protest video was pretty funny. It is actually pretty interesting that people are willing to blow their horns even when they do not know what the protest is about, or that it is completely fake all together. It is a fun way to draw a crowd and gain public attention. However, I really think that anyone who did this has way too much time on their hands. It seems kind of pointless to me.
