While angry mobs of Germans should never be taken lightly, we're highly amused by the spontaneous "Fat Rent Parties" being used to protest gentrification and rising rents in Deutschland. Basically a flashmob invades an open house for an apartment the activists have deemed too expensive, and all hell breaks loose. (Watch the rug!). Given the Berlin-Williamsburg cultural exchange program, we should expect to see the same thing over here by the end of the year. What's German for "Die Yuppie Scum?" [Spiegel]
