Flushing Human Rights Law Down the Toilet
Torture memo lawyer John Yoo is teaching law - the ultimate oxymoron - at UC Berkeley's Boalt Hall. So LA-based artist Matt Cornell stocked school bathrooms with rolls of Yoo Toilet Paper printed with text from the Convention Against Torture. He says his paper's softer than the cash-strapped school's. Plus, he's giving all those future lawyers "valuable reading material."

Show AllBrilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
Simply: UC Berkeley Law School...cannot ignore.
Loving regards and much appreciation to you, Matt. And to all who assisted.
P.S. Me thinks I hear the distant sounds...of entrenched corruption shaking loose...
Beautiful! Now this is protest.
Will he be coming out with a Cheney/Addington version? After all, Yoo was simply their bagman.
How appropriate Matt Howell! But watch out because Foxy News will say you are linked to the terrorists since one of Al Qaeda's translations is the toilet or the throne, whichever you prefer. I am sure Foxy News, with all their lies and twisted logic will make the connection somehow.
This is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is beautiful..and so appropriate! This guy John Yoo is indeed an asswipe!!
Very creative action taken here!

yoo is really on a roll.
John Yoo should be using jail toilet paper himself.
