The World Naked Bike Ride is coming up June 10, 2006. I've never participated, and not sure I could. (Yes, I can ride a bike, you know what I meant...) But Americans seem to be more and more inclined to use their naked bodies as a means of political protest - the months before and after the beginning of the Iraq War saw many, many photo op events with citizens posing naked together to spell out aerial messages such as "No War".
But does it work beyond shock value? And does shock value actual undermine the message?
