Massive mooning (bare bum) campaign planned by British to mar photo-ops
'Bare Your Bum at Bush'

It would be better if Bliar was rubbing Bush's nipple wouldn't it"



****

Objective

To collectively voice our displeasure at the impending arrival of George W Bush in the UK and in doing so either sour the experience or prevent his arrival.

Background
George W. Bush has already cancelled one visit to this country because he felt more than a little unwelcome. The man is terribly secretive about state visits, but Laura Bush recently let slip that a visit to the UK is being planned sometime in autumn. Our aim is to give the man the bum's rush before he even arrives and/or show him exactly what we think of him in the finest British tradition.

Method
George Bush is unlikely to walk around the streets kissing babies because of the large number of people that wish to blow him up. However, a 'Brits love Bush' photo-op of happy crowds greeting the man may be in the offing and it's vitally important that we rob him of such a lucrative propaganda device. By attending such gatherings (by accident or design) and ensuring that you bare your buttocks as he passes by, you either render any photos taken at that moment unusable or make a very clear indication of what Britain thinks of this bigoted warmonger.

Your Role
There are several levels of involvement to suit a number of personal situations and comfort levels. They are listed below.


Baring Your Bum

If you hear of a visit to your part of town or happen to see George W Bush, bare your arse in his general direction. Don't be afraid to wiggle it about a bit and maybe even spread your cheeks; this is a political statement you're making and you don't want to do things by halves, now do you?

Threatening To Bare Your Bum

Write to your chosen local, national or foreign newspaper and inform them that you, as a British citizen, fully intend to do your civic duty and bare your arse at George W Bush. In this same letter, you may also wish to call upon other readers to do the same.

Don't wait for the official visit; get typing and do this now. With any luck, Georgie will hear of the unwelcome reception that awaits him and decide to stay at home.

A series of links to the contact pages for major newspapers appears below to aid you in your quest. If you make it to print, please do send us a clipping for the scrapbook.

Using a More Modest Approach

If you're too shy to bare your arse or have any kind of difficulty in the trouser department, you may choose instead to use the following poster and wave this in his general direction instead. Clicking on the sample below will open a large version in a new window. (If this poster is not to your taste, there is a wide selection of alternatives available at waketheworld.org)

6. Actually, the American "ass" is a corruption.
Edited on Sat Nov-15-03 08:11 AM by Spider Jerusalem
The word is an old one, of early Indo-European origin; note German "arsch". Appears in written English at least as far back as Chaucer (where it's written "ers").

Etymology below...

arse - "buttocks," O.E. ærs "tail, rump," from P.Gmc. *arsoz (cf. O.N. ars, M.Du. ærs, Ger. Arsch "buttock"), cognate with Gk. orros "tail, rump, base of the spine," Hittite arrash, Arm. or "buttock," O.Ir. err "tail." Arse-hole first attested c.1400 as arce-hoole. Arsy-versy "backside foremost" first attested 1539.

5. That pic might be better...
if Bush were rubbing Tony's nipple, but as it is it kind of looks like Tony is getting buggered and Bush is giving him a reach-around...(note that we only see ONE hand).

7. Those dopey grins are suggestive, aren't they?

I hope some of my fellow Celts paint themselves blue and run naked through the streets, screaming and brandishing spears, as our ancestors did.

Might be too over the top for even the UK, though.

8. Did you all see that Bush* gave the Sun a lengthy interview?

The tabloid Sun? With all the nude photos? The Washington Post began its article on this by noting that Bush* had promised to bring honor and dignity back to the White House!

A British journalist made Scott McClellan repeat the info at his press conference -- the Sun? You did say the Sun? Why would he be in a tabloid with nudie pix?

Ya gotta love it! :evilgrin:
