I found the Alliance of Anti-Imperialist Intellectuals and their manifesto, which you can find here translated by Google to English. I couldn't be bothered to translate this load of wank correctly, sorry, but it's actually rather better in the Google version than I could ever do. The signers are the same old bunch of jokers, but some have oddly poetic names; how about Laura Dwells Hair of Dawn? Or Loving Irene? That could be a movie title. Mountain Juana must be a big eater. Cross García Maple sounds like a Mexican Catholic brand of syrup. We've got animals too, including Francisco Fernández Ox and Quintín Goatherd. And some of the signers are obviously violent folks; what is Striking Rosary doing signing peacenik manifestoes? Or how about To Pound Bardem, which actually sounds like a good idea. I'd sure like to pound on that whole family. The most inappropriate name, though, is Juan Kills Anaya. Why isn't he in jail instead of signing crap like this? Then, of course, there is the ineffable Car It Frabetti. And the guy we like the best, though he seems to be missing an eye, is Juan Francisco Dry Martin. The perfect way to wind down after a long day demonstrating against like war and stuff.
