Civil Disobedience at it's best:

OTTAWA - People in a small town in Western Canada are so fed up with the rotten state of their main road that they came up with an unusual form of protest — a calendar that shows them posing nude in the potholes.

The praries have 2 seasons

1. Winter
2. Road repair

I didn't believe it  until I moved to Saskatoon for a while, and their 3 months of summer was nothing but road construction and repair from their brutal winters lol

If they're going to protest potholes in the nude shouldn't they be spackling their asses shut or some such?

Somebody must have watched Calendar Girls a few too many times.  Can't really blame them since Helen Mirren is a fox.
