Not my cause, and not my chosen form of protest. In what has to be a Case of Gravely Mistaken Priorities, an American swimmer appears not to know that Chinese people are imprisoned, abused, voiceless in Communist China. But no mind: 

American swimmer Amanda Beard staged the first athlete protest of the Beijing Olympics, unveiling a nude photo of herself Wednesday outside the Athlete’s Village to back an anti-animal cruelty cause. “I’m not trying to be in everybody’s face and be harsh or negative. I want to be calm and yet get my voice out there. I’m doing it for all those animals who don’t have a voice.“

A voice for the voiceless: Truly inspirational.
