Sometimes to get people talking, it has to be a bit of a spectacle and perhaps throw off people's daily routine - otherwise you just ignore it.
That said, for me personally, organizations like PETA and Greenpeace really miss the mark with their message. I want to agree with most of what they say, but they come across as idealistic hippies without any actual solutions to the problems at hand.

I do agree with that previous post too.
I do think that Greenpeace run outside the normal boundries of protest and probably hurt the their organization more than they help.
But i dont think they hurt the message that they are trying to get out, as I think that people hating Greenpeace is less damaging to the cause than the mass coverage that the message reaches.
In this case I have no idea what the message was though. If the media goes with the story and discusses the message for many to hear and see perhaps then it would be worthwhile to their cause.
