Strange but meaningful way to grab attention

People all over the world keep coming up with strange ways of grabbing attention abutwhen they do that for good social cause then all you do is just Expect theunexpected. Here are a few protests for a social cause that grabbed everyonesattention.

A thoughtful protest to go pollution free

[1]



[2]

Latvian cyclist came up with an altogether new idea of showing how much space wecan save, along with saving gas if we give up cars in favour of bicyles. The organisationLets Bike It decorated their bicycles in a way that they covered almost equal spaceon the road that a car covers. His thought was that we can save on gas, make ourenvironment pollution free, and make some more space on the roads. In the world offast life, this idea could really change the way and was eye-catching for sure.

Hyped Breast cancer awareness

[4]



[5]

What made it creepier was, some middle-aged men wearing mastectomy bras andtrying to perform everyday tasks like a woman. A cancer hospital in China caughtattention when they tried to bring attention to an important issue of women sufferingwith the pain of losing one or both breasts due to breast cancer. However, the hospitalfaced a lot of criticism trying to raise funds for cancer patients through a

gimmick.(Source[6])

Premier league stars for cancer awareness

[7]



[8]

The campaign was to bring attention to the bladder and kidney cancer and what couldbe a better than showing players peeing in the stadium urinals looking at the camera.The organisers support the cause in a big way. The ideas were to make all men awareof the signs and symptoms of having a bladder and kidney cancer. Football fans are allover the world and this male oriented campaign grabbed attention as it was conveying

an important message.(Source[9])

Naked bike ride to endorse bike ride

[10]



[11]

To promote the usage of bicycles instead of using four wheelers is the need of thetime. However, in London bike riders adopted a strange method to grab everyonesattention. The protestors striped down naked, riding a bike on roads. Thousandcyclists hitting the roads made a huge impact and if not anything else was

scenic.(Source[12])

PETA protest for animal rights

[13]



[14]

One of these strange ways to protest was Peta activists going naked in an attempt tohighlight animal rights and safety. The protestors from Peta stripped naked toencourage designers to stop using animal fur to make designer clothes. The protestwas for a good cause and brought all animal lovers together for the same cause.However, it faced some criticism for using nudity to spice it up. The idea was to say noto the clothing made of animal fur. Killing animals for their meat shows the cruelty ofhuman against animals but naked women in a bathtub on the streets was surely thetalk of the town. People could not help but ask the real cause behind putting a show

like this.(Source[15])

Blood donation over Olympics

[16]



[17]

Painted blood donors were the part of the parade in London to highlight the need ofmore and more blood donors. The NHS (National Health Service) said that Londongames and Championships has increased the need of more blood in hospitals, theblood is needed to provide good healthcare services to the visitors and the natives in

UK.(Source[18])
