Pieing & Public Advocacy

 

No doubt you've seen video of the public pieing of Rupert Murdoch by now (if not, watch it above).  By no means is he the first public figure to come face-to-face with a big ol' helping of public humiliation.  The Washington Post offers a primer on the pie's history as a tool of activism.

Does a pie to the face count as activism?  Does it have value as a communication practice?  Is revenge really that sweet?
