They range in age ... to 90

They aren't kidding around, are they?

[lsee]

Most Nigerian tribes consider unwanted displays of nudity by wives, mothers or grandmothers as an extremely damning protest measure that can inspire a collective source of shame for those at whom the action is directed.

Inspires the same reaction at most family water parks, too...

Hmmm... So much for guns. Think this trick would work here in the USA: "Don't anyone make a move... If you do, you'll leave me no choice but to remove my own clothes..."

If they are anything like the ones in National Geographic, they will have to make an effort not to trip over their own nipples.

Sounds like these women are flirting with an appearance before a war crimes tribunal.

If these women look anything like the ones in National Geographic or like the one in the Bush protestors in Mpls. thread their tactics might actually work....



YUCK!

[IronJack]

If you think about a whole volume of National Geographic foldout rejects, this is a powerful image. I'd give almost anything for them to keep their clothes on.

I confess the same strategy would NOT apply if Cindy Crawford were to deliver the ultimatum.

They range in age.. to 90 - with the core group being.. aged 40 or older

I can see why authorities don't want to provoke them.

But wait a minute, I thought African women went around with no clothes all the time, if you believe National Geographic...

It's a good thing I don't run ChevronTexaco, because my motto is, "What would J.R. Ewing do?"

Jesse Jackson, call your office; your dream hostage recovery awaits.

I hope sincerely that Bush has instructed the Secret Service to see to it that Hillary Clinton never reads this article. If she only knew what power she would have if she ever takes off her clothes in public ... ... oh have mercy on us!!!

[Ditter]

I can see it all now. Oil workers with hands over eyes; "Please put your clothes back on, we give up." lol

[genefromjersey]

Eeeew ! Gross !

Nigerian Women Threaten to Use Nudity as Weapon in Oil Standoff

This is the same tactic that the National Organization for (liberal, stupid) Women (NOW) uses. Oh Noooo!!!!! PLEeeeeaasseeeee MAKE THEM STOP!!!!! My eyes... they burn... Put something over that herd to hide it.

Oh Virgin, unsheath your father's sacred sword.
Take up the breastplate of your ancestors.
Take up your powerful helmet.
Bring forth your steed of black.
Fly forth to the open field,
There, where the great army with countless weapons is found.
Oh, Virgin, cover me with your veil.
Protect me against the power of the enemy
Against guns and arrows, warriors and weapons;
Weapons of wood, of bone, of copper, of iron and steel.
