Wolfensohn of World Bank pied in Helsinki by Subcomandante Pomada Saturday March 31, 2001 at 08:16 PM |
Jamed D. Wolfensohn, President of World Bank, got two cream pies in his face last Thursday. The Arctic Baking Brigade takes full responsibility.

Wolfensohn arrived in Helsinki in order to meet politicians, corporate leaders and NGO representatives and take part in a Nordic WB meeting. Four entartists - "the Arctic Baking Brigade" - decided to start a sweet dialogue of their own with two cream pies.
The Finnish Minister of Treasury Sauli Niinistö (on the left in the
picture) found it confusing that he was not pied at all. Wolfensohn's
comments were:
[first pie]
J.D.W: Tastes good.
[second pie]
J.D.W: This wasn't a bad one either. It's going to ruin my diet.
