Prostitutes in the Bolivian city of El Alto sewed their lips together on Wednesday as part of a hunger strike to demand that the mayor reopen brothels and bars ordered closed after violent protests by residents last week.

Egad and yuck! Wouldn't a giant-size bandaid done the same thing without all the agony and chance of infection - geesh! Perhaps the saddest part of the story is it's doubtful anyone other than themselves care about their sacrifice. Sigh.

I'm fairly certain that some of their former customers probably felt that they were left with no choice other than to take matters into their own hands as well...
