Under the slogan Estee Slaughter: Free Condoms - Free Lube - Free Palestine, the queer Palestine solidarity group QUIT! (Queers Undermining Israeli Terrorism) brought the issue of US corporate support for "Israeli apartheid" to the Folsom Street Fair with a creative street theater approach, giving away prophylactics and sexual lubricants to protest the fact that Ronald Lauder, Estee's son, is Chairman of the Jewish National Fund.
As the Electronic Intifada reports:
"Eternally Mine joins Estee's signature scent Occupation and Apartheid For Men in the group's killer product line. Also on hand were special editions of Atrocity Cover Up, Bloody Hand Cream, Take It Away Total Village Remover and the classic condom, 'The Wall' (nothing gets past it)."
"The drag kings and queens were pretty in red and pink and fit right in with other guest cosmetics promoters as they blanketed the store with specially printed candy hearts proclaiming, 'Be My Palestine,' 'Take Me Away' and 'Occupy My Land.'
Bush Administration figures were also ridiculed, such as Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, misidentified as the Secretary of State. We suspect they might enjoy Condoleezza more.
Watch their performance (not for the weak of stomach) in Windows Media format:
