Cover of naked antiwar protesters draws objections, police attention
By Daphne Duret
Of the Post-Dispatch
Friday, Oct. 15 2004 The 57 women who posed for the cover of this week's Riverfront Times lay down and formed a human peace sign to protest the war in Iraq. Naked. The controversial newspaper cover has caused several local businesses to remove the papers from their shelves - including a gasoline station in the Metro East area whose manager did so after a visit from local police. "We put it out there knowing it was a provocative image, but never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that a police department would take actions to remove the publication from a newsstand," Riverfront Times editor Tom Finkel said. But Swansea police said the store manager discarded all the copies she had of the issue after they showed her a copy. Police went to Huck's at the request of Swansea Mayor Chip Gray. "I just didn't think it was appropriate, and I'm not a prude by a longshot," said Gray, who said a local pastor had complained about the nudity. Swansea Deputy Police Chief Steve Krakowiecki said the store manager had received copies of the Riverfront Times but had not yet put them up when officers went to the store. Huck's store manager declined to comment. Editor Finkel said the Riverfront Times received several calls from business owners asking that they come back and pick up the week's edition because either they or their clients found it offensive. Lipkin said they agreed to Riverfront Times' request that they pose nude as a symbol of expression that was not meant to be sexual.

as usual, the people getting naked are generally not the ones you WANT to see naked....
I think this is the main reason many young men are liberal, or at least pretend to be liberal.
Have these people no concept of idiocy
Actually they do. Except they call it one or more of the following:
Women's Studies (or Womyn's Studies)
Chicano Studies
Multicultural Studies
etc.

Hey, just doing my part to insure that nobody has their retinas permanently scarred.
Already been done. No originality in this group.
Probably somebody was having an acid induced flashback and thought it was still 1969 and that it was an original idea.
But the interesting thing to me was that the film was not just a knee-jerk liberal promotion of the event. It included some of their loopy, deadpan rationale for why this was actually going to make a difference in our foreign policy, and the mostly female (and I imagine, mostly liberal) audience couldn't help but laugh. Even to liberal feminists, this is so ridiculous, it's funny.
Or maybe my laughter was just contagious.
Why when this happens are all these people scraggley, gray-clip haired, unbathed, fat baby boomer types reliving the halcon days of the late 1960's and never attractive types?
Now, if they only knew that their peace sign is upside down.
Actaully, poster #48 refers to the thread where Dan Rather's fake memos were questioned by Buckhead and started all that.
Ahhh, OK, maybe you are then. ;^)

How do men get women to do this?? It obvious that a man or men coordinated this effort.
