women's activist group based in Fresno said it is probably not going to protest as it had planned. The group, called "Boobs, not Bombs," occasionally rallies throughout the state to protest such things as environmental destruction, equal rights for women, and an end to the war. To get media attention, they usually remove their blouses and bras.
"We didn't do that originally," said Diane Boxer, "but we never got any media coverage either. As soon as we took our tops off, we got nationwide coverage. All of a sudden we were on the six and eleven o'clock news. Unfortunately, it just shows the shallowness of men, who run all the media nationwide. We are concerned with issues, and they are concerned with tissue. But nowadays, even the wrong media coverage is better than no coverage.
