1. I don't like BOA. I like this "protest" even less.

The lame play on words re: "bust," the use of sex, 'shocking' nudity and pink brassieres--it's all very lame, very sexist, very "Oooh la la--look at me, this is just so salacious!"

I don't think this Code Pink effort does anything save call attention to a bunch of women in pink underwear, and one who is naked from the waist up.

The idea to try to shock to call attention doesn't cut it. It calls attention to the women, but not the purpose of the protest.

I don't think this outburst does a single good thing for women in the big picture, and I will bet it fails to have the desired effect to call attention to BOA's usurious practices.

Just one more Code Pink freak show.
