War of the Pillows!

How could I have missed this?

A headline over at La Nación newspaper reads "No Truce in Pillow War."

Apparently a mass pillow fight, with over 2000 participants raged for hours yesterday in the Parques Palermo. It was scheduled to last 15 minutes, but the sensless violence continued on well into the evening. (video)

My favorite quote from the article:

"'Esta almohada, más flexible, es mi arma, y esta otra, más rígida, mi escudo de mano', explicaba Federico Mateo, de 18 años."

"'This more flexible pillow is my weapon, and this rigid one is my hand shield,' explained 18-year-old Federico Mateo."

Another giant fight is planned for next month (according to the organizer who runs this blog). Come on people. Let's do this!
