PLOT:
coagula jessica birdshit, chicken version of carrie birdshaw from ’sex and the city’, aspiring journo infiltrates an animal anarcho bike gang (a la journos ‘infiltarting’ meetings at the rural convergance space G8 time) she joins in one of the parties in their utopian gardenhaus and plays strip the donkey (with the ass). the next morning she sneaks back into the city and it has changed. she sees the horror of how capitalist society functions and is so disgusted she runs back to where she came from. the animals seem to be going somewhere, so she gets a bike and follows. they start to do an action outside another food shop but the pigs cops come and start attacking them all. coagula grabs the ass’s cock and starts battling all the cops herself kung fu style with the dildo. the animals escape and she is eventually arrestted and then brainwashed by 2 scientists (a la clockwork orange) and re-released into the city. she bumps into her old ladies-who-lunch friends – mooranda, charlotte (the spider), lionantha and goes into her local eaterie. she stares in horror at the yellow feathers sticking out of her sandwich.
it hasn’t worked.
