Playaz remove protestor Darryl Hannah from tree

The Playaz successfully removed celebrity protestor Darryl Hannah from a Los Angeles area walnut tree that Hannah had crawled into to protest it's destruction at the hands of local developers.

The star of the 1984 movie Splash is a known enviromental activist. Hannah had managed to defend the tree for over 23 days before the Playaz were called in by Los Angeles authorities.

The Playaz made quick work of Hannah and other protestors lodged in the tree when they weilded a flame thrower that set ablaze the tree and 14 acres of forest surrounding them.

Prior to the Playaz arrival, the protest had quickly became a celebrity-studded campaign, with the likes of Joan Baez, the folk singer, Willie Nelson, the country singer, and actors Leonardo Di Caprio, Ed Harris and Martin Sheen all visiting the site. It is believed all died in the blaze, thanks to the Playaz.

"We cannot thank the Playaz enough for their selfless acts in ensuring this development will go on without the interference of annoying celebrities like Darryl Hannah," the mayor of Los Angeles was quoted as saying.
