I can't tell you how much glee this story gives me. Today seven nude activists stormed the John Boehner's office to protest potential cuts to AIDS programs. The Act Up protesters painted red ribbons and "AIDS cuts kill" on their bodies. According to reports, they chanted, "Boehner, Boehner, don't be a dick, budget cuts will make us sick." This photo tweeted by Talking Points Memo reporter Sahil Kapur is the tamest one I could find. Click on those links carefully -- NSFW photos! Police threatened to arrest the protesters until they finally put their clothes back on. I guess they could have just politely protested in jeans and t-shirts, but would we have noticed or cared? Not a chance. This was a kooky thing to do, but it definitely got attention.Image may be NSFW.
