Maybe they're not really interested in peace as much as a piece (of the pie)?
UPI wrote:Thai Protesters Create Mercedes Logo Instead of Peace Symbol
RANGSIT, Thailand, Jan. 23 (UPI) --
A group of Thai protesters tried to use candles to create a peace sign from the small flames, but instead created the logo of German auto maker Mercedes-Benz.
An estimated 1,000 supporters of the anti-violence, pro-elections white shirt group gathered Tuesday in the Thanyaburi district of Pathum Thani and arranged candles into a shape that was supposed to be the peace symbol, but instead formed the somewhat similar symbol that serves as a logo for Mercedes-Benz, the Bangkok Post reported Thursday.
The protest was aimed at convincing the People's Democratic Reform Committee to end their ongoing anti-government demonstrations.
The picture of the Mercedes-Benz symbol went viral online, with some commentators joking the white shirt group was paid by the automaker to advertise the brand.

True, but it's still not a peace symbol, no matter from where you look.

From everything I've heard from colleagues in Bangkok, I lack the testicular fortitude to cope with the things they deal with there during elections. When you ask if everything is okay and you get back, "Everything is fine, no bombs have hit the office yet.  ", you know you're dealing with some pretty well adjusted melon-fethers.
