Foreign Intelligence Brief #361: Evolution Of The Improvised Egyptian Protest Helmet

What began with a simple cardboard cover became a cranial concrete protector wrapped up with a scarf from The Gap…

…before morphing quickly from inventive baked good earmuffs to flimsy plastic wastepaper basket to cardboard/cloth turban hybrid (with optional beard)…

…followed by over-sized hydrangea planter (in camo green)…

…and the fashionable keffiyeh capped with upside-down concrete wok…

…all the way to the ultimate stainless steel cooking pot fastened with braided red string (also available in pearl white and royal blue).

If the revolution continues into next week I expect we’ll eventually see kevlar sombreros.
