    Oh Damn.

    That's the wrong link. That was supposed to be the cover pic.

    Here ya go...

    "Denise Belisle's dream is to walk down Robson Street topless one day and no one will bat an eye.

    The day I do this and no one will take pictures, I'll have achieved my goal, said Belisle, a tall blond who cruised down a busy downtown Vancouver street bare-breasted in a white convertible.

    Belisle led Vancouver's 5th annual Go Topless rally Sunday, using a megaphone to spread the message: Free your breasts. Free your mind.

    Judging from the hundreds of gawkers wielding iPhones and cameras a frenzied flock that vastly outnumbered the topless marchers Belisle's dream remains elusive.

    The Go Topless march, one of several held in more than 50 different cities, calls for equal rights for women to go bare-breasted in public. Women are allowed to go topless in B.C., but Belisle said shedding bras and tops remains illegal in many parts of the world.

    For some women, being able to show a knee isn't something they can do, she pointed out. We're beyond that ... but it's an evolution for our country. Each country has their own barriers.

    Nicole Williamson, a 24-year-old participant from Burnaby, said women should be allowed to go topless without feeling uncomfortable or scared.

    Like a modern-day Pied Piper, the march drew more and more spectators as the topless contingent made its way from Robson and Denman Streets to the Vancouver Art Gallery.

    The march snarled traffic as eager voyeurs crowded onto the road to snap photos, prompting stern warnings from Vancouver police. The majority of the shutter-happy spectators were men, something Belisle acknowledged in a short speech on the art gallery steps.

    I see a lot of men here, Belisle told the crowd. It's up to you to make sure you respect us, and that women are not harassed in this city.

    She also asked people to stand in one minute of silence to send peace to victims of war and violence, including domestic abuse.

    The march was organized by the Raelians, a fringe group of UFO believers. The march was held at English Bay the first three years. The group started marching down Robson Street last year in order to get more eyeballs and raise more awareness for their cause.'

    Too many people have WAY too much freakin' time on their hands.

    Mental midgets. We have far too many of them. Time to chlorinate the gene pool.

    Now that I didn't know.

    But at least for once, no one minded the people who were going without tops. Usually it's someone who does more harm than good to the cause.
