April 1st: Fools took over the streets of Amsterdam

In the U.K. April Fool's Day is already a well known tradition to have actions. This year Amsterdam followed with a reclaim intervention: April Fool's Pride. About 50 fools took fool responsibility to reclaim their lives, to reclaim the city. With support of great musicians fools danced their way through that part of the city were you're only allowed to shop. .
The foolish route went to the Konings square and Heiligeweg: Yeahhh, great, the Holy shopping area! The place which gives meaning of life in capitalist society: shop till you drop! The system is boring and that's why fools like free situations and give unpredicability a hand.
The ultimate church of boreness is the shopping mall. A great one is Kalver tower; one of the entrances is at the Heiligeweg. The foolish march entered there. "Alarm, alarm!" - Security was in panic: people were dancing instead of shopping, people were making music instead of shopping, people were laughing instead of looking to expensive thingies!
With much effort they tried to stop the fools - but didn't succeed.
