Even Bleeb is helping out.

Everyone should help by striking a mime.

These mimes are in support of the Chinese protest against censorship. Go mimes!

Made me think of “Silent Movie”.

Apparently these mimes aren’t good enough to be able to make it look like they are holding signs without actually holding signs.

The Silent Minority: They can’t speak for themselves.

Wearing half of a prison outfit, it looks like.

Ha! Good one! We don’t see it… but they’re standing inside an invisible box!

Mimes unite! Make some noise! Oh…right…sorry!

GREEN PLAID ALERT! Everybody do a shot! … as a mime!

On strike? That would imply that somebody was actually employing them to begin with.

hmm… I think people are more confused and scared more then anything.

At least they are quiet in their protests.

Who would that inconvenience?

You know, I’ve never talked to anyone who actually knows a mime. I mean, really, does anyone actually talk to a mime? Is there a mime club somewhere? Who stands up for mime rights and mime wages? What are the statistics of mime crime? What is someone is out there murdering mimes? OMG!!

Hmm if they’re on strike shouldn’t they make sounds?

Put them in a box.

A mime is a terrible thing to waste.

The silence is deafening!

oh i don’t want to hear this

I think the collective noun for mimes is a “gesture”. As in, "a “gesture” of mimes has gone on strike for visible wages".

We have/had a Palace Theater. It was used for a stage performance and less than a week later the ceiling collapsed. The owner donated the remains to the city. The city has made it into an outdoor theater.

The mob became unruly and were placed in an invisible box.

Bleep is protesting! I guess he’s a mime also, I’ve never seen where he’s has spoke.

That’s funny, got a great laugh, the right way to start a Monday am thanks John…

If mimes went on strike they’d be shouting so loud that people would pay them more just to shut them up!

And the world is a better place while they are on strike.

This could turn out to be a real gold mime.

Would anybody care?? Didn’t think so!

i would think talking would be what a striking mime would do!
