you know, it just goes to show that a lot of these environmentalists are just plain insane. I bet if you sat all these Sierra club guys down on a sofa and gauged them for mental illness, you be surprised at the number of hits.

How appropriate for their cause, which likewise has no clothes. Hope they all catch pneumonia.

In a related story, 32 Swiss were treated for frostbite, some in quite unusual parts of their body, after a staged photo shoot on a glacier.

Doctors said that laying down nude on ice is not recommended by medical professionals.

At the link and the caption on the photo:

“Naked volunteers pose for U.S. photographer Spencer Tunick in the Aletsch region in front of the Aletsch glacier August 18, 2007. Tunick held the photo session for a Greenpeace campaign to highlight climate change.”

Now could someone explain what being “nekked” has to do with highlighting climate change, LOL.

Thinking of some of the Greenpeacers I have seen in the media over the years, they would do better to keep their clothes on.

The same thing that dancing on a bar table has to do with real personal freedom. Nothing -- it's all about exhibitionism and trying to be shocking.

Of course they’re facing the other way. You think they want to show off that little frozen shriveled up “thing”?

It's the standing back up that hurts.

Like that old trick about licking a frozen flagpole in winter...

Commies are so funny. They always think that they need to get naked to “raise awarenss.” Is that what they call it now? Perverts.
