The Daily Californian reports on a September 26 naked parade in Berkeley, that looked sorta like this:

Here’s what was up:

Eight local activists displayed their lighter sides yesterday, marching in the nude down Telegraph Avenue to express their distaste for the current presidential administration.

The 13th annual “Nude and Breast Freedom Parade,” organized by the X-plicit Players of Berkeley, marched under the theme “Get Your Bush Out to Get Bush Out.”

Led by activist and Berkeley resident Debbie Moore, the eight members present for the parade walked down Telegraph, staying mostly between Dwight Way and Haste Street, singing and marching in their birthday suits in the name of peace and human connection.

Yahoo News provides this photo of protesters in Manila — protesting, apparently, a crackdown on men without shirts:
