Set aside the fact that one of our friggin' amazing readers rocked a Green MiddleEasy shirt that made international television on CNN this morning, but why would the founder of Wikileaks seek asylum in Ecuador out of all places? For those that removed all electronic devices from their respective outlets today, Julian Assange was essentially a man on the run after a European Arrest Warrant was issued back in 2010 due to an alleged sexual assault in Sweden. This morning it was announced by Ecuadorian foreign minister, Ricardo Patiño, that Assange was granted political asylum at the Ecuadorian embassy in London. Since then, every authoritative figure in the UK has threatened to barge into the Ecuadorian embassy, but a little thing called the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations has essentially urinated on everyone's parade.

Since then, people have been protesting in front of the embassy which garnered the attention of a plethora of international media, including CNN. It looks like one of our trusty readers not only attended the protests, but rocked the Green MiddleEasy shirt while doing so. Go to the 1:45 mark to see the goods -- and unfortunately right now we're out of Green MiddleEasy shirts at WorldOverEasy, but we have a fantastic line of other amazing stuff you can spend your money on. Props to Mr. Ross for the find.

I can't stand all these 99%ers wearing the Guy Fawkes mask. Lol weak minded idiots trying to be all ironic and edgy, and all they're doing is the same shit as everyone else.

I cant stand useless self centered douchebags like you who have zero to little input in life, yet feel the urge to sit behind your computer screen and talk big. Go stick your head in the toilet and flush you useless meatbag.

You're misunderstandin g what I'm saying. Stand up and protest for what you believe in. But all these folks need to stop wearing that mask. It was cool in "V for Vendetta". A major motion picture. I understand what it stands for... but I think they look stupid wearing something that was made famous in a Hollywood movie.

This just reinforces what I'm saying. Anon. is against most of what main stream America is... yet they wear something that was made famous through a multi-million dollar movie. Does that make sense?

dude. it's the V for Vendetta Guy Fawkes mask. The story was written decades before the movie came out by Alan Moore as a graphic novel under DC Comics.

Did you not read my earlier comment... it's literally four comments above this one. I know it was in the movie. That mask -that exact mask, not the Guy Fawkes mask in general- was designed for a major motion picture.

Again, I know what the mask stands for and what the story of Guy Fawkes is... but you have all these lemmings who think they are revolutionaries basically copying each other by wearing this mask. It's unoriginal is all I'm saying.

I feel the same way, the protesters take away from their cause by looking like an ass.

Real revolutionaries show their faces.

Its all well in good, but you can't see the entire shirt so viewers don't know what the shirt says.

But good effort though.

I don't know if I would be happy to see my shirt "Middle Easy" on the supporting side of a very complex issue.

Ecuador is just trying to piss of the west anyway, they don't care about Julian Assange.
