The Running of the Nudes




More Naked Protest -- This time in Spain. Honestly, do these people really want us to take them seriously?

James Taranto observes:

Brainless Gals in Topless Protest

Were we right or were we right when we said that the mindset of Karen Finley, the vulgarian "performance artist," had taken over the Angry Left? Check out this report from the San Francisco Chronicle:

A dozen anti-war activists from Mendocino County took their tops off at high noon in San Francisco's Union Square shopping district Thursday, using what they said was their best weapon to get the public's attention. . . .

Members of the Breasts Not Bombs contingent, which included seven women, three men and two young girls, said the war in Iraq is indecent, not their nakedness. . . .

Breasts Not Bombs said they are trying to make people uncomfortable to get their anti-war message across and to also desensitize people to nudity.

Of course, as we noted last month, such shock tactics "make people uncomfortable" only insofar as they fail to "desensitize" them.

Well said!
