Kentucky native Ashley Judd irked miners when she spoke out against mountaintop coal mining last month, and now they’re using a topless photo taken for a magazine against her. “Ashley Judd makes a living removing her top, why can’t coal miners?” says the poster, displayed at a Kentucky golf tournament.

Officials promised to remove the poster even though, as one golf club manager says, “all the people that was here yesterday, they was all for it.”
