Default "This is not pornography!" say nude Chinese online protesters

The Chinese artist who designed the famous "Bird's Nest" stadium for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, Ai Weiwei, has been accused by the Chinese government of posting obscene material on the Internet because of the first two pictures seen below showing him sitting surrounded by naked women. The pictures were taken last year, but only came to the government's attention last week.

In support of the artist, Chinese protesters have launched a nude self-portrait campaign designed to make the argument that nude is not pornographic. Some of those protest pictures are also found below, you know exactly what the group shots are for by his portrait strategically placed on their bodies.

Ai Weiwei was jailed by the Chinese government in the last year and fined $2.4-million for alleged "tax evasion." His situation has received a lot of international news coverage.

A news story about the nude self-portrait campaign is available at this link:
