Doughnuts...mmmm

When Flickr started allowing videos to be posted to its site last week, an angry cry of protest rose across all of computerdom. Videos mixing willy nilly with photos on the same site? What an affront to family values!

But one group of people weren't all that put out by the affrontery of Flickr. They began a mock protest claiming that they demanded doughnuts from Flickr.

Flickr heard their demands. Flickr (or at least an employee of Flickr) is buying one doughnut for each "protester" on April 16 at 11:00 a.m. at Bob's Doughnuts on Polk Street in San Francisco.

But since the announcement of Yahoo's concession, Flickr users around the world have taken up the cause. Groups around the U.S. and even the U.K. are meeting up to share in the sugary protest goodness.

You know Homer will be there. Will you?
