Nude AIDS activists among thousands of protesters at Republican convention

Ten nude AIDS activists led by ACT UP New York stopped traffic on 33rd Street and 8th Avenue by Madison Square Garden at noon today, shedding their clothes to reveal 'STOP AIDS' and 'DROP THE DEBT' stenciled across their backs. As a crowd of hundreds gathered and news cameras rolled, the six women and four men chanted, "Bush, Stop AIDS -- Drop the Debt Now!" and were arrested in all their glory after standing their ground for ten minutes.
