Markets in everything
Young, good-looking, and available for around 150 euros (£100), more than 300 would-be protesters are marketing themselves on a German rental website.
They feature next to cars, DVDs, office furniture and holiday homes.
Here is the story, and thanks to both Divya, Michael Flynn, and Tim Fowler for the pointers. Here is what they do in India.

Im kinda surprised how normal the people look? No offense to the people that protest here in the states, but normals not how i would describe them. I wonder if this is something silly that caught on with german college students?
Then again my german could be off ,and im in the personals or some other space.

Generations ago in Italian-American immigrant communities, older women would accept money to attend wakes and cry over the dead bodies (in most cases people they didn't know). Having a sufficient number of crying mourners at a family member's wake was a mark of status within the communities, and in some cases it was necessary to bring in hired help.

In India one bottle of raw-rum plus daily bata aproximately equalling Rs.100/-(with appropriate revisions as per the inflation rate)plus lavish food (no special preference in this case-chicken/mutton/beef- masala) is the standard rate demanded by the protestors and they offer their services to any political party regardless of the party's ideology.

This is not new. In argentina the "piqueteros" do the same thing for a few bucks (or "pesos").
