Venture Capitalists Protest Naked

Menlo Park (licentious) -- A gaggle of Sand Hill Road venture capitalists bared all in the latest protest craze sweeping the nation: spelling out your message with naked bodies. A handful of bystanders watched as the old, bald, fat men stripped down and then spelled out: "TAX RELIEF", before heading off to an exclusive golf club for lunch.

One local wag clapped sarcastically, while another opined that this might not create much sympathy.

Ringleader Jerry Smith said they had asked their trophy wives to do the stripping, but all had refused. "I'm writing this one into my next pre-nup," he continued.

While dressing, Smith explained that poor people should pay more taxes to support government services, because they're the ones who get all the welfare. "Rich people suffer too much. When you're talking about 40% of $15 million, that's just a huge burden. That's why we need tax relief. I've got two ex-wives, four mortgages, and payments on six cars and a yacht. I can barely get by on my after-tax. Poor people need to do their fair share, damn-it."

Asked about future plans, Smith said they would start a website to solicit funds via PayPal for TV ads to get their message out.
