Ole!

2006_0310_redbull.jpgWonkette is searching frantically for pictures of a naked PETA protest taking place at the Spanish Embassy near Washington Circle. We don't have any, but we do have a report from a faithful DCist correspondent:

There are about ten to fifteen protesters, mostly women, and all wearing underpants of some sort. The ladies are topless, but strategically placed signs and pasties are obscuring most, but not all, of the actual nudity. They're chanting something repeatedly, and there's no sign of actual running.

I asked one of the many police standing by about the legality of the situation. He said that in the District, except in parks, it is perfectly legal for men and women to go topless. He seemed to be enjoying the spectacle.

That's a question we've discussed here before, and it seems we've got the definitive answer. Chalk one up for the District.

My only quibble is that the graphic reminds me of Alexei Lalas and the New Jersey Taurine Asshats.
