There really should be more naked protesting

This photo showed up in today's Arizona Republic. It shows two PETA volunteers (named Cassandra and Chelsea) showering in downtown Phoenix. Two things are strange about this photo (okay, more than two things, but I'm going to stick with two): this is supposed to represent that one pound of meat uses six months of shower water, but I'm not sure what the point of that is. Should we stop eating meat now because cows drink water? I'm not sure. It seems a kind of weak reason to go vegetarian. The second thing is: these ladies are from Florida. What the heck are they doing in Phoenix? Are they just traveling around the country showering in downtowns? Beats me.

They look young, too. Remember when you had nothing better to do with your time than shower out in the open in the middle of a city? Good times.
