Judge tosses a blanket on topless protest Breasts Not Bombs told nudity not part of free-speech rights:
"Being topless is not inherently expressive" speech, Burrell said. The group, Breasts Not
Bombs, had scheduled a protest for noon Monday. The California Highway Patrol
threatened to arrest anyone who went topless.
Doesn't the fact that there's a court ruling on the matter say something about the efficacy of the medium? I think there's some room to quibble about what "inherently expressive" means there.
