On the importance of handing out free food

Did anyone else see the people dressed up in giant, grinning, foam egg costumes outside the Australian embassy this morning? They were holding signs that said things like "Honk if you [heart] eggs," "U.S.A., get crackin'!" and "Give me my visa!." I would definitely have stopped and asked the eggs what was up if they had been handing out goodies, like maybe egg and cheese sandwiches--or, better yet, Cadbury eggs. As it is, I kept walking, and have no idea.
