What a stupid way to protest.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

If you go walking around naked, chances are I'm not really going to value your opinion too much.

The idea of getting an idea out is to get someones attention. You need something to hook them and nudity is one of those things that most likely will. Someone who is good looking and young will get allot more attention then a 50 year old. What could of happened was police and news reporters report it on TV, anti-war folks get inspired and protests break out. Usually though it does cause trouble though so it's not always worth it. It's probably stands out in peoples minds though. I personally don't mind and would listen to what they have to say and even think about it. That me however..

Just curious Zeldagirl, why wouldn't you value their opinion too much? Nothing personal.
