A Grimey Thong

In case you missed the news story to end all news stories, here is an excerpt in all its glory from our very own Daily Barometer.

"Nearby [the Genocide Awareness Project display in the OSU Quad] display protestor Ben Grimes stood in public wearing only a blue thong. Taped to his back was a note reading 'Shock value works for me too!' Grimes repeated the message on his back out loud. 'Their claim is to start dialogue - in truth it's just shock value," he said.
A part-time nude model (emphasis mine), Grimes said he'd readily dance around naked to prove his point if it weren't for Oregon public indecency laws. To add to his display, Grimes also carried and played a flute as he walked. 'I'm not cold actually,' he said. 'I'm quite comfortable.'"

The Genocide Awareness Project posts very large, distasteful images of supposedly aborted fetuses juxtaposed with images of ethnic cleansing and murder. This is done to convince individuals that abortion is wrong and to reduce the number of abortions. However, this pundit expects that Grimes' display of his semi-nude person was far more effective at preventing all manner of pregnancy - wanted or unwanted.

Some Reverends wear collars; others wear thongs. To each his own.
