Pied Politicians, Corporate CEOs,
It all started in Belgium where activists believe that a carefully aimed pie will challenge the ego. The godfather of the pie is a Belgian called Noel Godin, but San Francisco’s Biotic Baking Brigade (BBB) and their English and Irish counterparts have been very active.
Undercurrents Pies on Video
Undercurrents has recorded the British slice of the BBB aiming their
pies at-

Bjorn Lomberg Climate change sceptic
Sir Mark
Moody Stuart, ex-CEO Shell Oil
Renaldo
Ruggiero, former head of WTO
David
Shayler ex-M15 spy
Claire
Short Labour MP
~Claire Short's first reaction to her pieing was to shout at the
camerawoman: "Stop that woman! Don't let her get that film out!"
The footage did get out, but Short's news managers were quickly on
to editors, raising the question of "permission to film the meeting".
BBC News and ITN showed nothing." John Pilger
Willie
Brown, Mayor of New York
Sir
Richard Evans, Bae Chairman (narrowly avoided the pie)

No Pastry, No Peace!
As the forces of Globalisation accelerate the plunder of the world,
a new militant resistance has secretly been forming in response. As
diverse in philosophy as in geography and structure, this movement
comprises freedom-loving people with a sense of aplomb and gastronomics.
Fighting a guerrilla media war with the titans of industry, these revolutionary bakers and pie-slingers are achieving a global pastry uprising. This uprising has its roots in the belief that those killing our planet have names and they also have faces.
Just Desserts!
Pastry militants such as the 'Biotic Baking Brigade' (London, San
Francisco, Netherlands), 'The Mad Anarchist Bakers League' (Washington)
'Gloup, Gloup!' (France) Les Entartistes (Montreal) and the notorious
'l'Internationale des Anarchos-Pâtissiers' (Belgium) have already
flung flans into the faces of 50 corporate executives, politicians
and economists, including:
Renato Ruggeiro (Head of WTO)
Kim Beazley (Australian leader)
Ann Widecombe (Conservative)
Hilmar Kabas (Freedom Party Vienna)
Milton Friedman (Economist)
David Shayler (MI5 spy now jailed )
Robert Shapiro (Monsanto CEO)
Sir Mark Moody Stuart (Director of Shell)
Willie Brown (Mayor, San Francisco)
Bill Gates (Microsoft)
Bertie Ahern Irelands PM
Bjorn Lomborg (anti environmentalist)
Let them eat humble pie…
Pie-slinging is the latest implement in a diverse toolbox of global
activist resistance. Few things are as effective in subverting shareholders'
meetings, conferences and keynote speeches, as a well-placed pie and
a captivating press release.
One aspect of this new campaign is nothing gets hurt except the image and ego of the targets. Given the current hysteria over "domestic terrorism," many believe this is the way to go. And as Martin Luther King once proclaimed, "If a man hasn't found something to pie for, he isn't fit to live."
The Pie's the Limit…
So who are these secret pastry militants? How and where do they operate?
Who are their next targets and why? Why did they blindfold and kidnap
a reporter from the Daily Express? And which pies have supermarkets
concluded are best for obtaining total face coverage?
'No Pastry, No Peace!' will expose the real pie-tossers and reveal their modus-operandi. We'll also talk to the targets themelves; Did Ann Widecombe and David Shayler really deserve their just desserts? Best of all, we'll follow the UK cell of the BBB on a mission, from conception and planning, through to execution and sticky completion.
We have access to activist footage of all previous pieings as well as exclusive clips of recent pie-actions never before seen on British television. We also have the trust of, and unique access to, several cells of the Biotic Baking Brigade.
Viva las Patisseristas!
