Thanks to Marc A. for the heads up on this story. Good work, F4J! Excerpt:

'“THREE men dressed as cartoon character Fred Flintstone evaded tight security and scaled Stonehenge in the latest protest by protest group Fathers 4 Justice.

“They climbed the ancient monument at 9.15 am today and unfurled a banner with the message ‘Drag the family courts out of the Stone Age.’'

But what's the secret of getting past 'tight security' in a Fred Flintstone suit?!

I can already hear the feminist cries about what a bunch of Neanderthals these guys must be...

According to new research, Stonehenge was a "girls-and-boys-gone-wild" party central back in the day!

Fred and Wilma were gettin' their jiggy on...

Somewhat off topic, but why do they need tight security at Stonehenge? I went there in 1981 and don't remember there being much, maybe just some stooge Bobby with one of those funky hats.

Oh well, I guess they are worried about some terrorists carting off 6,000 pound stones, sneaking them out the door, then dropping them on London from above.

Hey, I went to Stonehenge in 1971 in between being a roadie for the Brit blues-rock band FREE... (What a great potential rock concert site....)

You could just walk around and there was almost nobody to be seen.

But now, with the permanent War on Terror, I'm quite sure Stonehenge is on THE OFFICIAL LIST OF PLACES AND PEOPLE ISLAMIC JIHADISTS WANT TO BLOW UP!

Those are some really big stones!

I would like to know how many suicide bombers it would take to turn Stonehendge into gravel! ;-)

It's now just a small-time gig to blow yourself up in a marketplace or mosque.

Where are all the truly ambitious suicide bombers?

How about ... dare I suggest it?

Mount Rushmore?

Oh, that would be really funny!
