In the UK, a group of male strippers known as the Crippendales (agh, you Brits and your weird fondness for puns) are sending this postcard to members of parliament, urging them to ratify the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The postcard shows two naked guys posing with a strategically placed equal sign; the caption reads “The Crippendales have NO reservations … neither should the government when it comes to disabled people’s human rights”.
It’s an interesting tactic; one I’m happy to leave to others. I learned long ago that the sight of my naked body utterly lacks any persuasive value.
