Naked Protesters & Nude Activists:

A reader emailed me the following photo, sans info:

PetaEurope had the story:

It’s almost Mother’s Day! So PETA thought it the perfect opportunity to get people talking about what happens to mothers all over the world… pig mothers, that is. Today in Covent Garden as shoppers dashed around for gifts for their mothers, PETA’s very pregnant Noemie stripped, got down on all fours and knelt in a replica farrowing crate with the banner ‘Unhappy Mother’s Day for Pigs, Go Vegetarian.’

Would it be unseemly to make an appreciative “shakin’ that bacon” comment?

I don’t understand everything I see at this link, where there are many more photos. But this particular photo, of a bare-breasted woman standing in front of a Church Of Scientology building, carrying a “Get A Real Phoney Religion!” sign, and concealing her face with a V For Vendetta mask, meets any reasonable definition of a naked protest:

Thanks to the alert reader who emailed me the link.

Update: Here’s an article from Radar Magazine which may help explain what’s going on with respect to this protest.

It’s hard for someone not from there to understand all the nuances, but politics in Russia haven’t been looking good lately, from the perspective of freedom-loving folks. As a grim ex-KGB bureaucrat solidifies authoritarian rule, and democratic opposition is systematically dismantled and destroyed, it’s my “impression from afar” that the grey old men are returning, knouts in hand and vengeance firmly in mind.

Certainly the recent election offered little promise for hope. As near as I could tell, they were a sham designed to install a puppet, who would rule at Putin’s pleasure and in his stead. That certainly seems to be the viewpoint of these folks:

I guess maybe this is the twenty-first century equivalent of the twentieth centuries’ love-ins: a “fuck-in” protest by the fucked? Izo has the context:

To mark the presidential elections, on 29 February the group War staged a “mass fuck” (массовая ебля) entitled Fuck for the Teddy-Bear Heir (Ебись за наследника Медвежонка!) in (appropriately enough, maybe) the Biological Museum in Moscow.

Update: Many more pictures here.

Here’s a link for you to send to all your conservative friends:

Celebrate Bush!

Not as bad as you think it will be. Trust me.

This made me laugh:

These cuties are making a salacious claim:

“We shaved our pubic hair. Read our lips. No more Bush!”

Geez, girls, you need to take a creative writing class. The first rule: “Show us, don’t tell us!”

Via Bondage Blog, yet another PETA girl in a cage:

Another set of bare-breasted anti-war protesters, date and location unknown:

From 2005, here’s a protester baring her breasts during a trip by Prince Charles to Wellington, New Zealand. Looks like the writing on her boobs says “Get your shame off my breasts”, which would make her a nudity activist I’m guessing:

Prince Charles, naturally, hides his head.

Via Bondage Blog we get this context-less photograph of some gagged anti-war protesters:

I don’t know my Commonwealth flags, but I’m pretty sure that’s one of them printed on the gags.

The body language doesn’t look quite right for a political naked protest, but there’s got to be some sort of outrage that leads to standing on the top of a pay telephone with no pants on, long enough for four cops to arrive:

The best I can do to explain these Mexican naked protesters is to quote from the email that provided me with the photos:

In Mexico, there are a group of people that protests because their lands was robbery for a politician. This group is called “The 400 towns” (Los 400 pueblos). For this people is difficult to do this type of protests, because they are native people of the country, and their ideas are very conservatives.
