Nude protestors aren’t very committed to their art

A group of bicyclists in Brooklyn planned to go topless to protest the removal of a bike lane in the borough (how these two notions are correlated, I’m not entirely sure). Then the biggest snowstorm ever happened. And these naked women proved to be completely incapable of keeping their promise.

Bicyclists who planned to go topless to protest the removal of a Brooklyn bike lane switched gears Saturday, pinning plastic breasts to their jackets as they rolled into a snowstorm.

Dozens of bikers joined a protest called the “Freedom Ride” to oppose the removal of a bike path in Williamsburg, an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood.

Bloomberg had removed the bike path because members of the Satmar branch of Judaism “don’t want to see women in shorts,” said Baruch Herzfeld, who runs a bike-sharing program in a community where Jewish women wear hefty skirts and long-sleeved blouses and men wear heavy coats and hats, even in summer.

“The rabbis want to keep their people in the 18th century, and they don’t want the world to intrude into their enclave,” Herzfeld said.

Oh, well that makes more sense as to why they felt going topless would be a reasonable protest. But still, if you’re not going topless, why even hold the protest? Do you see that picture from the protest above? That’s not really sticking it to the Jewish community’s “dress women in burlap sacks” ideologies. You can’t even see most of the women’s faces. You think snow would have stopped civil rights activists from having sit-ins? That’s like going to protest some heartless company building a factory in the woods and then sodomizing a plant and punching a deer in the left nut as soon as you get there.
