Quote from: "julia142"I noticed something... I really feel it... Last year (2010) was the year of "believe", we saw "believe" everywhere, in ads, on commercials, on chocolate bars, etc... I think, this year (2011) it will be "V"... Not too long ago, I began to see that some of the things called "V" now... There is a "V" series that is starting on the same date than the court, on january 4th in the US. There's is an italian new drink energy that will be launched in mid-january called "V"... And let's not forget the message of "V" we saw earlier about july 13th 2011... I am definitely thinking that "V" will be a trending topic and name this year just like "believe" was in 2010...

Cultural influencesAnonymous, a leaderless Internet-based group, have adopted the Guy Fawkes mask as their symbol (in reference to an Internet meme) notably worn by members during Project Chanology's protests against the Church of Scientology.(NB: photo of this from protest in London in 2008.) Alan Moore had this to say about the use of the Guy Fawkes motif adopted from his comic V for Vendetta, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly:“ I was also quite heartened the other day when watching the news to see that there were demonstrations outside the Scientology headquarters over here, and that they suddenly flashed to a clip showing all these demonstrators wearing V for Vendetta Guy Fawkes masks. That pleased me. That gave me a warm little glow.[15] ” On 23 May 2009, protesters dressed up as V and set off a fake barrel of gunpowder outside Parliament while protesting over the issue of British MPs' expenses.[16]
On 5 November 1997 in London, a mysterious cloaked figure wearing a Guy Fawkes mask and calling himself "V" rescues a young woman, Evey Hammond, from a gang of police officers (known as "Fingermen") who intend to rape and kill her after arresting her for prostitution.
