TheWoosterCollective — April 05, 2010 — At 12am April 1st, a group of “hacktivists” and concerned public citizens infiltrated and hijacked the largest outdoor led screen in the north of England in Manchester for an April Fools day insurrection. The screen - all 7 stories of it, was subverted to display a different message to the 300,000 commuters that allegedly see the advertisements daily. The intervention stayed for 24 hours costing the fat cats over £30,000 of lost revenues…”The Dead Peasants
