Anonymous in Polish Parliament

Members of the Polish Parliament wearing the Guy Fawkes' mask
In the beginning I thought it was a joke. Like those we're already used to see of politicians or policemen taking Anonymous as a kid's game, making fun of the mask, ignoring what it really represents.
That, in my opinion, is more of an ignorant behaviour than anything else. They may think it comes from a movie, but the idea is much older: Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot.
The irony here is seeing the members of the Polish Parliament wearing masks of the guy who once tried to bomb the House of Lords, which is nothing but a parliament aswell.

Then I found out that they're not mocking it, they're wearing it to express their support to Anonymous. And this, sincerely, made me really happy and proud, not as a Pole, but as a citicen of the world.

P.s.: I'd have liked to see something similar in the rest of the countries signing it. At least!
P.s.2: if it leads to censorship, then this is goodbye.
