Spiderman goes global

	CJ writes "Hats off to a true patriot - David Chick. Unbelievable, but Boston Globe online gave men's (fathers) rights a little homepage exposure with the story of the 36-year-old father who has sat atop a 120-foot crane beside London's Tower Bridge, dressed as Spiderman, in a bid to draw attention to the plight of dads denied access to their children. The area around Tower Bridge draws men who say they have not seen their children in several years and who resent a legal system they believe is biased in favor of women. ''It's like a ritual humiliation,'' said divorced dad Harrison, 45, who said he has not seen his 12-year-old daughter in two years. ''You're taken into court, stripped absolutely bare."

Global Coverage (Score:0) by Anonymous User on Wednesday November 05, @06:08PM EST (#1) To-day, Ireland's main daily broadsheet (Irish Independent) gave half of a page to the subject of Fathers Rights. This is very unusual. Spiderman was mentioned in the article, but one can't be sure if his protest was actually responsible for the article or if it is just coincidence.

CNN reportedly just covered the story too (Score:2) by HombreVIII on Wednesday November 05, @06:43PM EST (#2) (User #160 Info) While I unfortunately didn't see it, I heard that they just reported that Spiderman has come down and promptly been arrested. Word has it they took a very mocking position and presented him as a nutcase, anyone have any more info on it?
