Documentary: Ukraine's FEMEN Activists
Comments (0) It seems a week can't go buy without some celebration of Euro 2012 being hit by a topless activist from FEMEN. Their purpose is simple yet broad: women's rights, particularly in relation to the sex trade. (Though they do venture beyond.)

The Girls Of Germany Sing For Holland
Comments (0) I haven't the slightest clue what's going on here, but no one's complaining. The lasses in the German shirts are singing the Dutch national anthem in a suspiciously bouncy van. Obviously this has some link to these rivals in the same Euros group. Outside of that, its effectiveness is up [read more]
