21 Bum Salute!

Published by PETA.

For readers who may be unfamiliar with the British vernacular, a “21 bum salute” is a charming, classically understated English way of saying “Hey chaps, we respectfully disagree with your actions.

Note the lovingly painted Union Jacks and the looming rainclouds in the background. Makes me proud to be British.

You can read more about the protest in this weekend’s Sun.
