The Flickr group We Demand Donuts was the recipient of 10 dozen donuts at a donut shop in San Francisco today, courtesy of Flickr employee Matthew Rothenberg. The event began as a way of making light of a Flickr protest against the new feature that allows pro users to upload video to Flickr.
We Demand Donuts sprang up long before the video feature was added, but the group never had much of a following until last week, according to Jake Rome, who started the group in 2007. Shortly after the option to include video was added and several groups protesting the new feature emerged, the We Demand Donuts movement gathered steam.
We Demand Donuts had events in other places, but Flickr only organized and bought donuts for the San Francisco “protest”. http://blog.wired.com/underwire/2008/04/flickr-quells-v.html to story. http://flickr.com/groups/wedemanddonuts/pool/

2. I want a donut
You hear us Neatorama? We want donuts too :P
as Burl Ives sang:
As you go through life make this your goal
Watch the donut, not the hole.
It exists only in North America as far as I've seen.
From the very far north of Scotland through all of Scandinavia,all of mainland Europe, over to Australia and NZ, if you want a donut or a patisserie or a sticky bun, you go and buy one.
ONE.
How on earth did the idea of buying a BOX of donuts become normalised in your country?
It is like gluttony at it's absolute zenith.
I Demand An Explanation.
That's probably the best possible way to explain this issue..and..well...just about anything. Getting what you want depends on what you ask for. ;)
