Hours earlier, across town on the campus of the University of Washington, eight activists, mostly Asian-American women, express outrage at what they call the prostitution of sushi and the exploitation of women.

Freedom of abortion?

I'm having the TUNA!

Can you post the address??

The prostitution of Sushi, something smells fishy about this!

[thoughtomator]

ewww... they gotta use a good-looking woman at least... all those skin blotches in the photo would turn my stomach!

[Dog]

Isn't this in your neck of the woods??

Eating raw fish I understand. (Yeah, I like sushi.)

Eating raw fish off a semi-naked girl, I don't understand.

Why would I want to look at a menu from which I cannot make a selection?

[Delbert]

Tuna hell....Do they sell beaver fillets as well?

"It appeals to puerile interests, I suppose, but what the hell?" said Keith Ancker, 28, of Seattle. He said he'd never tried sushi until now.

LOL.

Call me old-fashioned, but I'll take my sushi served in the more traditional way.

[cajun-jack]

I prefer "cat" fish lol

I'm starting to get a glimmer of how the condom got in the chowder...

Even sushi comes with garnish, it's really no different than a fancy plate.

[SF Republican]

beaver fillets do you get a side of mountain oysters for that?

[Paul Atreides]

Notice, to feminazis, a woman should have the right to do whatever with her own body, except that which pleases a man.

[TheBigB]

Sushi, eh. Now if it were a nice pepperonin pizza served on a nekkid gal, bring it on!

[cmsgop]

Isn't this in your neck of the woods??

YES, THANK GOD !!!!!!!!!

[Callahan]

Just pray that the fishy smell is coming from the sushi.

I'm with you, pal. I like looking at beautiful women as much as the next guy in most parts of San Francisco, but why would I want one in my face or my lap if I'm not supposed to touch them in earnest?

A standup comic recently on Late Night With Conan O'Brien said it best: "After leaving the club, I said to myself, 'I just spent $60 on a boner when I get one for free every morning!"
