The more acute the crisis, the queerer ideas people have. A few hundred people had a pillow fight in Warsaw. Sorry Warsavians, but I must call it only in one way: sheer stupidity. www.tvnwarszawa.pl/-1,1587449,0,,bicie_poduszka_jest_lepsze_niz_seks,wiadomosc.html ANd the guys even claimed that the fight was better than sex. Wrong in the head? - Pogięło ich?     |

Pillow fight madness in Warsaw, Krakow
thenews.pl
04.04.2009
Gladiatorial battles took place, and a few feathers flew, in Krakow and Warsaw in celebration of International Pillow Fight Day, April 4. (photo: John Beauchamp).
In Krakow (pictured above) students from the University of Economics, the Jagiellonian University, the mining and technology AGH, plus latecomers from the Polytechnic met in the Old Market Square to do battle.
The pillow-bashing bouts - where few rules exist: a kind of Fight Club for narcoleptics - were closely observed by a representative from the Guinness Book of Records. At stake? To see if the, up to a thousand, pillow-pugilists gathered reached a record critical mass and the largest simultaneous pillow fight in Poland - ever.
A similar gathering occurred in Warsaw, where combatants met outside the Centrum metro station at 14.00 CET.
On the International Pillow Fight Day Facebook page the rules for the contest are given as:
+ Only soft pillows!
+ Take it easy, it's for fun…
+ Don't attack someone without a pillow or with a camera
+ Better don't wear glasses…
+ This event is for everyone, and all ages.
+ Wait for the signal to start (whistle etc..)
+ Maybe we better clean up afterwards so in order not to have trouble with the police…

Will this be a new Easter custom in Warsaw? If yes, why?
