Men Get Their Turn for Nude War Protest
About 250 men took off their clothes Sunday and lay down to spell out the words "Peace Man" on a rugby field to protest the Australian government's strong support for Washington's hardline stance against Iraq.Like, profound, man! Protest organizer Cameron Sparkes-Carroll said the protesters bared themselves to send the peace message to the Australian government, which has sent 2,000 troops to join U.S. forces preparing for a possible war in the Persian Gulf. "Men of all shapes and sizes laid down their weapons and overcame fears of exposure to make the protest," Sparkes-Carroll said. "Wow! Doinkers for peace!" The protest follows a similar demonstration two weeks ago when about 750 women shed their clothes in protest on a hillside near the same coastal resort town of Byron Bay, 435 miles north of Sydney. The women disrobed and lay end-to-end on a grassy knoll to form a heart shape around the words "No War" for an aerial photograph. I found that one much more meaningful. I'm all in favor of Boobies for Peace... Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2003-02-23 |
