OMC: Où le Monde est Cuit...
On Nov. 28, 2009, the demonstration against the Interministerial Conference of the WTO in Geneva quickly turned into chaos after a couple of hundred black blocks started smashing windows of banks and luxury stores, and burning cars.
Here, someone added a sign in front of a burning car with the french initials of the WTO (Organisation Mondiale du Commerce) reading "Where the world is cooked/over" ("cuit" meaning both "cooked" and "finished" in French). Behind, an ad for Western Union (money transfer) and another for buying gold (ACHAT PIECES - OR) !!
