Arms Dealer Sex Toy Party

Space Hijacker | 17.09.2005 11:23 | DSEi 2005 | Anti-militarism | London

Taking one look at the arms industry you will find a lot of middle aged men, surrounding themselves with large phallic objects and imagery, rockets, bombs, cannons, submarines etc. It seems the men who conduct the business of death, must rather be compensating for a "lack of weapons capability" elsewhere.

We took it upon ourselves to offer some advice to these repressed souls and perhaps get them to focus their tension in more productive ways. For want of a better phrase, to learn to love their biological weapons. There are plenty of products on the market today which can help them satisfy their frustrated partners, and release some of the tension which has built up inside them. Perhaps these lonely souls simply had a bit of a uniform fetish and were too embarrassed to admit to it?

We realised at the last arms fair, that it is possible to speak to the delegates on the DLR trains heading into the fair. This time around we thought we could offer some advice and show off a few products at the same time. The idea was born, a sex toy party for arms dealers on the trains!

Now all we needed were some sex toys and leaflets!

Hey space-hijackers we really appreciate some of the stuff you've done in the past that's pushed the boundaries and opened up new subversice vistas, but posing with sex toys with smirking pigs and arms dealers isn't very inspiring is it?

Covorting with city workers and playing cricket in Parliament Sq. wasn't much cop either.

Bring on the more subversive stuff, you know exactly what we mean!

We're not sure exactly what you mean... perhaps you should come along to our next meeting and enlighten us all?

Covering one massive social problem with another one is not particularly useful.
Don't bomb other people, subjugate and humiliate them instead!
It is amusing to an extent but people have suffered and are still suffering as a result of the massification of sexed up pictures of women.

Pretty funny if you ask me

And i know they were leafletting all the way thru the sillyness.

Nice one I say. And I bet they made quite a few dsei delegates squirm on the train.

Gotta keep a sense of fun when viewing all the shit in the world.

And anyway, kind of fits in with all that LIFE verses DEATH stuff - you know - sex = life and all that :)

BTW parts of the demo on the action day at the waterfront was shouting over the water "Big Ships - Small Dicks" - anyone notice the 'defence police' guys in the small speedboats smiling?!

So boring being on a train and not getting to feel multiple vibrations. In the sight of farm animals no less?! Being a libra, I say, Peace and Prospects! - Cynful
