Naked Protesters & Nude Activists:

Over on Bondage Blog we found this picture of a half-naked PETA activist in chains, presumably to protest the shackling of circus animals:

From here, via World Sex News:

ORLANDO, Florida - An appeals court has ruled that women can demonstrate topless as part of a legitimate political protest, striking down the arrest of a woman who has repeatedly flouted laws banning women from publicly going bare breasted.

The Seventh Judicial Circuit Court of Appeals on Oct. 5 upheld a county judge’s opinion that Elizabeth Book could protest topless on the city’s Main Street Bridge.

Book was arrested by Daytona Beach police and fined $253 during Bike Week in March 2004. The city said she violated an ordinance banning public nudity that was passed in 2002 to curb indecency at special events.

The email forwarding this photo says it appeared in the Daily Californian, so it’s presumably yet another Berkeley protest. Grievance unknown, but the girls are pretty, and the clear plastic some of them are wearing is a bonus for shrink wrap fetishists:

Here’s a photo from a 2004 anti-Bush protest in Berkeley, California:

From the Daily Californian:

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.”

Only speculating here, but this could be a protest to protect community gardens, or perhaps against suburban landscaping water rationing?

This, presumably, is more college hijinks than protest, but whenever the lady’s crew team takes off their shirts, it makes a worthy photo:

Not naked, but pretty and salacious enough to make the cut:

Thanks to Functional Ambivalent for alerting us to this naked protest at a U.S. college, against — wait for it — clothing manufacture:

This image was emailed by Jelle (thanks, Jelle!) with the following explanation:

This picture was published in almost every Belgian newspaper. I have scanned it from the frontpage of “De Standaard” of We 29th of march 2006.

The picture shows a French teacher (!!) participating in the protests against the CPE (Contrait de Première Embauche), a law which would make it easy for companies to hire and fire young people.

It’s unclear what’s being protested here, but this is clearly a big ole hairy protest moon if ever there was one:

A long time ago we linked to these very pretty young ladies carrying an obscure banner. Here they are again — with more friends — carrying a different (PETA) banner:

So happy to see them again.

Here’s a bit of fantasy protester art — it looks like some sort of anti-male protester is getting a spanking right there in the street:
