OZZY OSBOURNE COMES OUT AGAINST WAR IN AFGHANISTAN
Stages Lonely Protest in Times Square
Joining the swelling ranks of musicians turned activists, rocker Ozzy Osbourne today came out strongly against the war in Afghanistan.
Mr. Osbourne staged what might be described as a lonely protest in Times Square, with police estimating the size of the crowd as just Ozzy.
For his part, Mr. Osbourne took issue with the polices estimate of the rallys size, putting it in the millions and millions.
Those wankers cant count, Mr. Osbourne added.
Mr. Osbourne, carrying a sign reading, WAR IS KABUL-SH*T, said he was motivated to stage the protest when he learned that the U.S. was planning possible military action in Afghanistan.
I heard about it from, I dont know, somewhere, you know, and I thought, you know, this is madness, he said.
While some tourists in the Times Square area seemed eager to have their pictures taken the addled rocker, few seemed willing to join his fight against a war in Afghanistan, and some seemed openly concerned about the heavy metal stars state of mind.
Sharon must be out of the country or something, said Deborah Bolling, a nurse from Gary, Indiana.
Despite the recent upswing in activism among actors and recording artists, few entertainers seemed willing to join Mr. Osbourne in his lonely fight against a war in Afghanistan, but late in the day he did receive some words of encouragement from actor Sean Penn.
I admire Ozzys courage for taking up a cause like this, Mr. Penn said. It always takes guts to be the first.
