BRASIL: Barbeques...Aided By Social Media ...Become The Newest Protest Mode.

GLOBAL VOICES
  
      A new kind of protest has become an internet “hit” in Brasil, promoted by the so-called “different people,”that encourages them to participate in a churrascão/big barbeque.
    In Sao Paulo, a barbeque to protest the killing of an upscale neighborhood development was organized on Facebook.
     In just two days...more than 55,000 people accepted the invitation.
