Ten months later , a group of protesters dressed in carnival outfits and again calling themselves the Pink and Silver bloc , or '' Pink Fairies '' , used the term " tactical frivolity " to describe their own methods when protesting at the 27th G8 summit in Genoa . These included waving " magic fairy wands " at the police and training " radical cheerleaders , " as well as the deployment of a " revolutionary spaghetti catapult " designed to " splatter the leaders with pasta " . The device failed to hit any leaders with spaghetti , but according to journalist Johann Hari the '' Pink Fairies '' did succeed in causing mass laughter among the crowds
