Chinese Ad Resellers On Anti-Google Hunger Strike

itwbennett writes "About 200 employees from 7 Chinese ad reselling companies are protesting outside Google's offices in Shanghai in response to Google terminating their contracts, said Fan Meiyong, a representative for the group. 40 of those have gone on a hunger strike that will last until the group's grievances are resolved, Fan added. The ad resellers have said they have held talks with Google about the matter but they still don't know why the contracts were terminated. The group has even written an open letter to Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, asking them for their intervention."

    In china you can hire professional mourners for funerals, so I wonder if you can hire professional hunger strikers.

    Sure you can, but try to avoid the ones with the "Will Hunger Strike For Food" signs...
