A friend of mine posted this on the facebook this morning:
She commented “check out dude with the sandwich!”
It’s true, at about 2’05” there’s a guy lending a hand while still holding onto his hamburger.
Weird.
But my comment was this: “Why can't the naked people be more coherent, and responsible?”
Seriously, those folks give us reasonable naked people a bad name.
News-type stories about naked people always have some drugged or drunk person...or somebody loudly protesting something.
Why does there have to be an excuse?
Hell, I’d rather go naked.
Period.
Well, assuming it’s not too cold.
Actually, even then I might rather go naked, but it’s just too uncomfortable.
I guess you can also find coverage of the sensationalized nipple slip or celeb caught sunbathing nude sort of things. But that’s not exactly news; it’s more something else...maybe info-perv-tainment.
Wouldn’t that be a great human interest story on the evening news? A normal naked person. No big issue they’re trying to raise awareness about.
“And here’s this person. He or she happens to be naked. So...you’re naked. What’s that like?”
“Oh, it’s pretty much the norm. If it’s warm enough, I’m probably naked or semi-naked. You know. It’s not a big deal, really.”
“Hm. Interesting. I notice that you’re not staggering around, or yelling, or speaking incoherently. Surely you must have some horrid injustice you protesting.”
“Um, no. I mean, there certainly are injustices in the world. But that’s got nothing to do with my being naked.”
“No? An important issue to awareness about?”
“No, I’m just naked. I suppose that’s an issue. But I’m not on a mission here. Just...hanging out.”
“And there you have it. ‘Just hanging out.’ Back to you in the studio.”
