Mexicans gone nude as a protest...
In other weird news, here in Mexico, thousands of Mexican cyclists had gone nude to protest against aggressive drivers and carbon emissions from cars -- and the conservativeness of central Mexico's Jalisco state. Some are nude, some wearing undies, while some wearing swimsuits, cycling through Guadalajara for 12 miles, aiming to highlight the fragility of riders and the risks they face on busy roads but it can be a chance to take aim at the conservative climate in that state. A woman in a swimsuit said that "daring to cycle naked pushes beyond the limits of the Catholic sense of morality"

The Pugad Baboy malarkey
Ever since the Philippine Daily Inquirer suspended and censored the highly popular Pugad Baboy comic strip, The Concerned Artists of the Philippines (CAP) condemned the PDI for their dismay over the newspaper's failure to stand by Pugad Baboy creator, Pol Medina, Jr., saying that the creator's suspension over the installment touching on homosexuality in Catholic schools can "set a dangerous precedent" that threatens free expression. Hmmm...that can't be right...but how?
Reason for this censorship to the Pugad Baboy is the strip that mentioned Catholic school St. Scholastica's College in the context of what one cartoon character called the "Christian hypocrisy" over the issue of homosexuality. After the school, which is the St. Scholastica's College, threatened to issue a lawsuit against PDI, Medina was suspended and later PDI publisher Raul Pangalangan apologized over the matter. Same goes to Medina which later resigned on Friday.
For 20 years, Pugad Baboy served not just the sense of humor but also satire and relevant social commentary, including what's what in the world of Philippine politics.
