Finally, a Protest I Can Appreciate!

by Robert Koehler on March 24, 2009

From last week:

An Italian pornographic actress stripped down to her panties at the Milan stock exchange on Tuesday to protest against the financial crisis, police said.

Laura Perego, 22, climbed on to a table inside the bourse entrance clad only in her panties and with the Italian flag painted on her body, a police spokesman said.

“Italy is down to its underpants,” the Sicilian-born actress shouted before being taken away by police. She was charged with obscene acts.

The protest can be seen here (perhaps NSFW). Was always partial to Sicilians.

Maybe she wanted to stimulate the economy.

Jobless? No problem, go topless!

That poor woman was clearly all hopped up on mad cow beef.

How can you protest an economic crisis? How would that help?

Not that I’m complaining. Her flag was quite bouncy!

What happens if Italia goes bankrupt?

Hey, maybe Ms Perego is thinking about running for parliament.

It’s not just the economy that is sagging.
