Moral Standing

A man in Winona, Minnesota, has been standing outside a porn shop for ten years. Frank Yakish, 59, began his one-man protest in 1999 when the adult store first opened. Since 2002, he’s maintained a regular vigil in the street outside its door with a cardboard sign for an hour each day, five days a week. In all weathers, anti-porn campaigner Yakish keeps a tally of people who enter the shop, then prays for them to turn back. Ironically, his protest has acted as a free advertisement for Downtown Book and Video and it’s thought that the added publicity has actually boosted sales. (Photo courtesy of Winona Daily News.)
