Uncanny Similarities or how the revolution in Egypt is a lot like Angry Birds



Revolution in Egypt

Overthrowing a dictator through democratic protest to topple his regime
Requires patience knowing that democracy will ultimately prevail
Started when people decided they had had enough
Serves as an example of the strength of the of the human spirit
Will probably be remembered as a turning point in democracy


Angry Birds

Throwing birds over geometric shapes to topple green pigs
Requires patience knowing you will eventually beat all the pigs
Started when birds got angry
Serves as an example of the creativity of the human spirit
Will probably not be remembered in six months
