No, umm. I wonder if they're firefighters, based on the helmets and boots. It also looks as if there may be some firefighter jackets/pants on the ground.

that with women it is all cameras flashing 10, 20, 40 to 1 of a topless woman, but silence to the men, cause creepy and pervy is pretty damn obvious.

the creepy and pervy would be all in the action.

not this.

i do not think.

There might be some perviness that plays a role in why nude women get more attention though.

This does look as if it might in Europe though, so perhaps that is why we didn't hear much about it here.

4. Saw this posted on facebook... these are firefighters in Madrid who are supporting the miners.

The miners recently reached the end of a 400km protest march there.

Sadly there was no link to a story, just this pic.

It's 'funny' how this seems to be getting no attention but the topless protesters were international news.

10. What's the point of topless women supporting the causes they do?

I think it's just to attract attention.

I give these guys credit for trying.

I know the DU and I know a snarkbait photo when I see it. My apologies to the topic but that photo is 100% DU snarkbait-no, not just ordinary DU snarkbait but Duzy generating DU snarkbait of the highest calibre. The Lounge needs to rest their peepers on this.
