Continuing their “Model, don’t go into a brothel!” campaign, FEMEN activist Alexanra Shevchenko crashed a Miss Ukraine press conference yesterday, running in bare-breasted between visiting celeb Paris Hilton and the cameras. NSFW.
Just for a split second though — she was immediately, nonchalantly pounded down by an official-looking broad armed with a notebook. As she hit the floor, she hollered her slogans against the corrupt modelling industry in Ukraine. She was dragged out of the building screaming and, as you can see in the photos, fought to the end. Meanwhile, Paris continued grin and fluff her hair.
Later, the activists explained that Miss Ukraine is nothing but a “meat market for oligarchs” to take advantage of “fresh” Ukrainian gals and “Female beauty must not become a product. A woman must be above this.” (

Boise_LibYou had me at, "boobs", mintbbb.
EMPIREsays...god, just looking at paris hilton's stupid gaze, makes my IQ drop.
gorillamanSo what's this corruption in Ukraine's modelling industry?
RyjkyjThat's absolutely brilliant. I mean, think about it. If you want someone to remember your cause, you could do a lot worse than associating it with a blond, bare-chested model being tackled on camera. All the activists should get in on this.
shuacWell, I think the Femen have a right to protest. After all, they've been stuck on Arakis defending their homeworld against miners for millennia.

It's more along the lines of: Ukrainian girls/women are being raped, sold, kidnapped, exported and used for prostitution. The Ukraine has as a result/cause a problem with sex-tourism and the subjugation of women as objects of sex. A modelling contest with a blond airhead is a great opportunity for the protesters to get publicity.

Good info, thanks.

Unless, of course, you're protesting the objectification of women. Then, it seems to me, a titty-based message might be counter-productive.

It is, but it works. Otherwise, we'd not be paying any attention.
