"Moon the Balloon," protest spreads.
I don't think the word "spread" in the headline was intentional.


More than 70 people say they will participate in a "moon the balloon" demonstration Aug. 15 by dropping their drawers to protest a high-tech surveillance balloon and camera monitoring the international border at Sarnia.

City police said Thursday they plan to turn a blind eye to the cheeky protest in Centennial Park, but Sarnia's mayor has asked Prime Minister Stephen Harper to get involved in what he calls an assault on Canadian privacy.

In a letter to the PM Thursday, Mike Bradley said the camera hovering over Port Huron, Mich. is scanning Sarnia's waterfront, which includes many homes, private businesses and government offices.

3. That's the way to tell them to butt out!
A little hole-istic protest never hurt anyone (though I wouldn't say that were it winter up there).
