Unsatisfied with Blizzard Entertainment's recent hiring of independent carpentry contractor All Star Installations in Irvine, Carpenters Local 1506 has strategically (albeit somewhat puzzlingly) staged a miniature "hired gun" protest outside Universal Music Group's Santa Monica office, a highly visible locale tangentially connected within the Vivendi family. It's always fun to see a protest unfold, but something's missing in the scene above given the whirlwind events of the last two weeks. Where's Ray Romano? Where's Picketing Baby!? Informational, rat-lingo-suffused flyers are currently being passed out in lieu of churros:

Shame on Vivendi for allowing its subsidiary, Blizzard Entertainment, to contribute to erosion of area standards for carpenter craft workers...

...ASK UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP TO CONTACT THEIR PARENT COMPANY VIVENDI. THEY SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PROFIT FROM BLIZZARDS (sic) USE OF ALL STAR INSTALLATIONS. ALSO ASK UMG WHY THE SECURITY AT THEIR OFFICE IS HARRASING (sic) US AND INTERFERING WITH OUR FREE SPEECH RIGHTS...
