Agent Provocateur lingerie shop's Guantanamo Bay 'Fair Trial My Arse' promotion

[emad]

The UK's wingnut Telegraph newspaper is up in arms:


SNIP:
What on earth has possessed Agent Provocateur to get involved in a tasteless political stunt concerning the Guantanamo Bay detention facility? From next week the sexy lingerie chain, which has made a reputation from its saucy shop windows, will be displaying a new line of what it describes as Guantanamo-orange underpants in its new Fair Trial My Arse window display.

It seems Joe Corre, who runs the lingerie line, has taken it upon himself to link up with Clive Stafford Smith, the patron saint of lost causes who campaigns for the closure of the Guantanamo Bay facility. Stafford Smith is fuming that the U.S. military, which runs the detention centre, has accused him of trying to smuggle underwear into a prisoner he was visiting.

1. Wow, those are hot!

:) Guantanamo Orange rules.

And yet another case of rightwing nutcases providing free advertisment for the product they seek to abolish.
