Great Pie-ing Moments
You’ve probably heard it already, but just one more time because it was a peach of a pieing at the Den Haag Climate Talks, November 2000. Two women infiltrated the U.S. Delegation Press Conference. One armed with a pie, and the other with a mega-rant... As Frank Loy, head of the U.S. Delegation, began to peddle his usual bollox, Agent Cherry Pie scooped a rather mushy black forest gateaux (stolen) out of her bag, leapt forward from her front-row seat and planted it right in his face. Immediately Agent Sushi jumped up onto her chair and started ranting. Both Agents managed to get out the door, walk past the running cops and escape into the night. Frank Loy, meanwhile, looked like a total mess, with pie exploded all over his face. He tried to scrape his dignity, managed a few words and then cancelled the press conference.
Lessons to learn from this action: it is really easy! You can do it. Just get a smart suit, a pie, think up a rant, and away you go. Keep believing you can get away with it. People are so shocked that you can use the confusion to your advantage to get away. Keep ranting and they will be desperate to get you out of their precious private space, and may throw you out, and then you can try and escape.
Many thanks to all the Piers, particuarly the BBB, for this article
