There's no doubt that the masks, which transform identifiable citizens into anonymous dissidents, irk authorities. Canada recently passed a law that bans the wearing of masks during a riot or unlawful assembly and carries a maximum 10-year prison sentence....

....An interesting note is that Time Warner, one of the largest media companies in the world and parent of Warner Brothers, owns the rights to the image and is paid a licensing fee with the sale of each mask. In 2011 purported members of Anonymous told CNN that activists were ordering masks mass-produced and shipped in from Asia so that Time Warner didn't receive the loyalties.

I saw a guy (no pun intended) wearing one today.....on the back of his head.

Because Reagan and Thatcher were OH-SO tyrannical in the 1980s when these Brits concocted their “adult comic” set in ‘the future’.

d also symbolize that they stand for individualism

"Look at me! I'm unique! I even bought the uniform!!!"

Time-Warner-Alan Moore-et al don't receive the royalties. Neither do the wage slaves who pressed them out of industrial machines in Chiner. "Fight tyranny with slave labour!" That'll learn 'em!

All the little people buying these masks in droves will certainly make good little communists. Give’m a Mao jacket at half price to go with it and they will be in heaven. Such daring nonconformists. (sarc)

I’d say Robin Hood masks would be appropriate wear for patriot rally wear.

That’s funny they did not want Time Warner involved but talked to Time Warner employee/reporter about it. Which would make money on it by the commercials for CNN owned by Time Warner. Life is so ironic at times. Lol!!!
