BUM BARING BOMBS

Anti-Bush activists "Bums Not Bombs" hoped for a record setting protest:

A game group of anti-war protesters are planning a cheeky protest against a visit by US President George W. Bush - baring their bottoms in what they hope will be a world-record moon.

In a leaflet to possible supporters, the group calls for 4000 cheeks - er, 2000 people - to "tell Bush what we really think about his visit.''

Numbers fell well short of the thousands desired:

Around 50 people have bared their bottoms in protest against APEC and the visiting US President George W Bush.

The poor turnout comes despite arse-baring apparently being something of a national tradition:

Organiser Will Saunders says its a fun and Australian way to get the anti-Iraq war message across.

Hey, we've tried to attract tourists by swearing at them, maybe the Aussie moon should be our next enticement to visit down under.
