Why can’t they protest like that here
In England, there was a protest:
Pro-hunt demonstrators dumped animal carcasses and women went topless amid noisy protests on Tuesday outside Prime Minister Tony Blair’s Labor Party conference.
Blowing horns and waving signs that read: “Fight Prejudice, Fight the Ban” and “Fox-Off Blair,” about 8,000 demonstrators against plans to outlaw fox-hunting marched along the Brighton seafront, flanked by hundreds of police in riot gear.
Several women dressed in black bathing suits removed their tops and jumped into the chilly English Channel waters as part of the protest. They were joined by members of “Surfers 4 Hunting” riding surfboards.
See, that’s a protest that could keep someone’s attention. Nudity tends to do that. Here, all we get are smelly hippies and guys in pajamas.

We do have protests like that here. “Peace” protesters in Frisco routinely show they’re asses by showing their asses.

A standard component of any protest or large gathering in San Francisco tends to involve nudity. Though most of the time its the people you don’t really want to see naked.
Wow, XRLQ that was clever..did you come up with it all by yourself?

Actually, there are protest sorta like that here. But the gun-toting warmonger crowd aren’t invited.
