G-20 Sketch Blog: Bambi Meets Godzilla PDF Print E-mail

The only way I know how to describe the overkill of security at the G-20 is to compare it to a little animated film called "Bambi Meets Godzilla." In the film Bambi is frolicking in the field ... only to be squashed by Godzilla. There were way too many police with way too much equipment. The protesters seemed small in comparison. With the big lockdown, visitors had to squint through barbed wire to get a look at the city.

The locals in Pittsburgh didn't know what to make of the whole thing. These are actual things I heard people saying, with a little exaggeration added.
