Porn law protesters spank outside 'Fifty Shades' London premiere

LONDON, Feb. 13 (UPI) -- A British artist and helpers from a local lingerie boutique spanked one another at the London Fifty Shades of Grey premiere to protest new kinky porn laws.

Bert Gilbert and a team from Bordello Lingerie gathered outside the Leicester Square Cinema on Thursday in London to spank one another with hand-shaped "bottom blushers" to protest Britain's new laws banning kink from pornography.

Gilbert posted on her Facebook page the "guerrilla spanking" protest was a "success" and she was able to "spank the police" while being escorted away from the theater.

The pornography laws were previously the subject of a "face sitting" protest involving about 200 people outside the houses of Parliament in December.
