The Human Rights Foundation and the
Auckland Women's Centre piloted a little parade of their own ahead
of the boobs, with the lovely catchphrase "Porn Fuels Rape".
Their parade was pretty shitty compared to the real one, and there
were definitely not as many boobs shown (if any).
In all seriousness, the protest parade
sucked. There was no music and they just had signs up with angry
phrases about pornography fuelling sexual violence. They didn't
have a float, there was nobody smiling AND they had the audacity to
look at everyone with sad, disappointed faces as though we were a
detriment to society. Their best achievement was scoring free
advertising that they'd otherwise be incapable of getting.
Freeloaders.
The actual parade was, to be honest,
below average. There were a number of topless women, but there
weren't many ATTRACTIVE topless women, actually there weren't any
attractive people full stop, men and women alike. The parade didn't
really advertise the Erotica expo that well, there wasn't an
excessive amount of signage and to be honest research was needed it
to find out that it was actually advertising it at all. Pretty
rubbish excuse for advertising and it leaves you wondering whether
the parade was just an excuse to show boobs in public in an attempt
to piss people off and promote NZ porn mogul Steve Crow.
When you're left in the middle of a
busy street, surrounded by throngs of sweaty perverts with their
camera phones and thinking to yourself "Why are the topless women
coming down the road at me on Harley's?", something has gone
wrong. It's not fair to judge anyone in this situation, protestors
or strippers. Whenever something new happens, someone will complain.
This time it's boobs.
