Bare All for Bears
UK Indymedia reports:
The group sponsoring it - Bare Witness has been responsible for a number of nude protests. Whilst I approve highly of any protest action which doesn't require unnecessary violence and vandalism, this nude obsession I just don't get.
Protesting naked may have been novel in the 60s, but now it really strikes me as an unproductive exercise in self-promotion, little else. It's a given that such protests only take place in countries whose protesters frequently take their freedoms for granted in opposing efforts to spread them.
This porn site (fair warning) asks:
Bare Witness is asking you on behalf of PETA to join this demonstration against the use of real bear fur in the Palace Guards' hats.Grizzly?
...
The British Ministry of Defence commissions an average of 140 bearskin caps a year to be made for the Queen's five Guard Regiments. Sadly, each cap can take the skin of one entire bear.
For each bear killed for a Palace Guard's hat, we need one person - that's a 140 compassionate people we need to recruit for this eye-catching demonstration.
Wearing nothing but a bear mask, each person will be strategically placed to create a stunning visual display.

Does this mean nude message-spelling is becoming the new "what do we want? ... when do we want it? ..."?and has lots of links to naked protest (and non-protest) action.
