Spotlight Projection

What about using a spotlight at night to project the website address and a swastika on to clouds or something high up like a building - if you could move it about a bit then it should plenty of attention. You could also point it at the moon etc.

If you could manage to get yourself arrested too then newspapers and TV could run with it!!! No such thing as bad publicity.

Having a couple of actors in 3rd Reich liveried space suits handing out flyers could be good too.

I think the crew has expressed that they don't want that kind of publicity and I agree it is very risky.

But your suggestion made me think that the only guy who could actually pull this of as a "humor"-stunt is actually Samuli Torssonen. I can imagine him giving an interview in his "funny character" as seen in the dailies. There he would be sitting in talk shows answering to all these serious questions:

"I was just trying to warn you about the nazis in the moon" and "well, the projector in Cannes was the obvious choice. How else could you tell a message for millions of people. Using the internet? Yeah right."

But back to the real world. A lot people today still have strong emotional memories when it comes to nazis. I personally don't but I surely can understand and feel for those who have.

When people have strong emotions of something, the message gets misunderstood easily. The wrong message also spreads fast and the spreading is more difficult to stop and get the right message through because the "right" message usually is not so provoking.

So unless you have a provoking "right" message to fight back the "wrong" message, don't do that. When I think of it, I must admit nazis in the moon is infact quite good "right" message :-)
