A group called "Breasts Not Bombs" held a protest in Ashland, Oregon yesterday. The mostly female participants removed their lumberjack shirts and waved signs, such as those shown above: "FEMA is indecent", "Viva Hugo Chavez", and "War is indecent".
The leader was Sherry Glaser of Mendocino County in California. She just got back from Cindy Sheehan's big protest in Washington DC, and:
"Now we're heading to Sacramento to confront Arnold," she said.
Other than the hippie boobies, the crowd seemed vaguely disinterested:
The crowd remained silent. Numerous people took pictures with cameras and cell phones.
Ashland resident and first-time protester Miranda Molea yelled at the mob.
"This is a protest, people. You are allowed to clap," she said.
Molea and her friend, Natasha Vilven, then dashed to the sidewalk along East Main Street, holding their signs high. Much car-honking ensued.
A man standing across the street screamed, "Put your shirt on." His vain plea was answered by a woman running from the crowd, shucking her top, to join the protesters.
"It's a lot safer seeing breasts coming down the street than Hummers and tanks," Glaser said into the megaphone.
