SEATTLE (AP) -- The serving of sushi on a nearly naked woman, a regular feature at a Pioneer Square nightclub, has drawn the ire of activists at the University of Washington.

``It's dehumanizing, the manner in which people are buying and selling sushi to be eaten off a woman's body. It's dehumanizing to be treated as a plate,'' said Cherry Cayabyab, president of the local chapter of National Asian Pacific American Women's Forum.

If the club persists, she and other activists say they will begin a media campaign, apparently the first organized opposition to naked sushi in the United States.

Promoters and customers reply that the monthly naked sushi night at Bonzai is performance art.

7. Here's a solution for anyone who objects to places serving naked sushi:

Don't support those places. Don't go in.

But don't infringe on the rights of people who choose to eat naked sushi, or have naked sushi served off them!

Sheesh! It's country simple.

8. Nearly Naked Women - now there's a meme

Cherry Cayabyab is just jealous 'cause no one wants to eat sushi off of her. She sounds like a republican.

Who in their right minds can't find something better to protest against than Nekkid Sushi?! Nekkid Sushi is my god-given inalienable right as a patriotic Amurrican! Bring on the babes with raw fish!
