Mule-riding fuel price protester wins support

 

The video "Going to work on a mule" has attracted many viewers and supporters after recently surfacing on the Internet.

The video shows a man riding a mule on the fifth ring road of Beijing with a banner emblazoned "To protest high oil price" last month.

The man in a neat black business suit was riding a mule that had a "BMW" logo on its forehead and an A8888 lucky number license plate hanging on its neck.

Behind him were slow-moving cars driven by infuriated drivers.

"Cars bring too much pollution," the man smirked. "Riding a mule is environmentally friendly."

Many netizens gave his protest two thumbs up.
