Weirdest "demonstration" ever

... the infamous, nationwide TEA parties ...
They only threw the "tea," a plastic barrel with a rope tied to it, into the water four times, "so the people on the other side could see too"


(related note to this post: because I used the word 'infamous,' I just spent a couple minutes on youtube trying to find the scene in Three Amigos where the amigos get the telegram and try and deduce what 'infamous' means. I love that movie. I couldn't find a concise clip.)
