A stripper who danced on the poles of Santiago subway trains to challenge the prudishness of Chilean society was arrested on Thursday during one of her lightning performances.
Monserrat Morilles, 26, surprised subway riders all week stripping to skimpy underwear, but she refused tips.
She said she was protesting a lack of tolerance in Chile, one of Latin America's most conservative societies where the first generation since the Pinochet dictatorship is reaching adulthood.
"This is just a beginning. We are starting an idea here that will grow and be developed further," she told Reuters as police and subway guards surrounded her.

Predictable results ensue
Well, I guess this just goes to show that they're still not ready for the challenge:
Far be it from me to discourage anyone from trying to get large numbers of attractive women to disrobe in public, but something tells me you don't really have the makings of a mass movement there, Miss Morilles. But, hey, keep on dreaming.
