OK, so the bongs and bases occurred separately but they were both two small episodes which elicited a wtf whilst I was watching Panorama's reporting of the riots in Riga's oldtown on Tuesday evening.
During the peaceful part of the demonstration - 10,00 people calling for the current Government to be dissolved - the sign above was shown a number of times whilst the camera scanned the crowd. "All your base are belong to us", the internet John 3:16! Did they have some inside information about who actually runs this country?
The second part, below, was of a live cross to a very nervous journalist trying to describe the post-demonstration events - about 100 people decided to finish off the evening by throwing cobblestones through Parliament's windows and overturning vehicles.
Unfortunately for him, one of the 'protesters' who just happened to have a bong with him decided to add an extra microphone to the interview!
Who brings a bong along to a demonstration?
