Nudes In The News
DOVER-FOXCROFT, Maine - Two men who jumped naked into Moosehead Lake last summer in return for a free sandwich at a Greenville restaurant have been found guilty of indecent exposure and fined $200.
Bernard Beckwith of Poland and Christian Simpson of Bethel were found guilty Monday in District Court in Dover-Foxcroft.
But Crystal Stilwell of Bath was found not guilty. Stilwell was naked and her breasts were exposed, but a prosecutor was unable to show she had exposed her genitals.
The three friends were arrested in August after jumping naked into the northern Maine lake at the Black Frog Restaurant, which offers a free prime rib sandwich to skinny-dipping customers.
None of the restaurant customers objected, but other people on the lake were offended and called police.
DELTA, B.C. -- A group of cheerleaders who performed at a high-school football game wearing only bootie shorts and strategically placed tape and paint, are now being taught how to "portray a better, more wholesome image."
The South Delta Secondary students "shocked" fans and opponents at the game between the Sundevils from Delta, B.C., and the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers from Surrey, B.C., according to a school official.
"We talked to the girls and the principal and it's fair to say it's not going to happen again," said Dianne Turner, assistant superintendent of the Delta School District.
"We're working with the Grade 11 and Grade 12 girls in an educational way to ensure they portray a better, more wholesome image," she said.
Some of the 12 girls have written apologies to the opposing team for their behaviour.
"We have discussed a number of possibilities for next year, including a fabulously choreographed dance routine with music," said Ms. Turner.
The Sundevils won the game 20-14.

More information on the evil streaking high school cheerleaders. Apparently the tradition of streaking during the last home game of the season has been going on for a few years now. Ted Johnson, the schools principle was quoted as saying We don't take it lightly. This is a school. [in] schools, we hold higher ideals that we do in, say the mall. So I guess streaking in the mall is okay but nope...not at school. Students at the school here warned last month not to streak at this year's final game. Those warning where obviously ignored. As part of the girls punishment they are to encourage younger students to end the streaking tradition.

A Collin County mans cellphone reception might have been clearer than his thinking last night.
The 23-year-old stripped naked and climbed a cellular tower in the small town of Lowry Crossing.

Princeton resident Andrew Arnold is in the Collin County jail today.
For reasons he has yet to explain to authorities, he spent seven hours in the buff on the cellphone tower.
About 4:40 p.m. Wednesday, authorities said, Collin County sheriff's deputies approached Mr. Arnold after they'd gotten several calls about a man acting strangely.
He ran away from the deputies.
Initially, witnesses said, Mr. Arnold was wearing only jeans.
But by the time he jumped a fence and climbed 15 feet up the tower, officers said, he had disrobed entirely.
Sheriff's Lt. John Norton said a negotiator was called to the scene, and Mr. Arnold finally agreed to descend shortly before midnight.
He was charged with criminal trespass, disorderly conduct and fleeing from police.
Well at least he wasn't charged with indecent exposure! HAHAHAHA

Nude Cycling Rally's Future In Jeopardy
UVM Tradition Could Be Canceled

BURLINGTON, Vt. -- For students at the University of Vermont, there is a tradition that involves bikes and bare bodies. But the Naked Bike Ride may no longer be a semester-end celebration. It's in jeopardy of being canceled.
Nude Cycling Rally's Future In Jeopardy
Staff at the university said the naked bikers aren't the problem; it's those who come out to watch. Participants have been grabbed and even pushed off their bikes by rowdy students in the crowd.
"I think it's always been a pretty rowdy scene. Everyone is highly intoxicated most of the time," said Emily Major, a senior.
UVM police and security are on hand, but officials said it's not enough. They're threatening to put an end to the event if students don't clean up their behavior.
"It's kind of that last shebang before the end of the semester," said Andrew Chase, a sophomore. "I would definitely be disappointed to see it go."
To cut out the drinking that's associated with the event, UVM plans to recruit 100 sober student volunteers to encourage safe behavior. Some students said it's a great way to keep the event going.
WOW And suprisingly enough it's not being called off due to the nudity but because of the unruly nature of the spectators.
Some interesting articles mate, thanks! lol...Damn, I wish my high school had a streaking tradition, guess I should live in BC with the rest of the hippies. :P
While I do think that most of these are just harmless fun (well, except for the cell tower guy, he strikes me as a nutter), most of them should've been charged, as what they did was against the law. However, these things are becoming more and more popular here in North America and maybe one day these laws will be changed. After all in Canada & the US, it is we the people who run this country and if more people agree that public nudity is not indecent exposure then these stupid laws will be a thing of the past.
It is interesting that in a very conservative area like I live in, there is a lot of nudity at a local biker ralley held on area lake every spring. Local law enforcement does not interfere with their nudity at the park as long as there is no public sex. I guess drunk driving and drugs are a higher priority.
You know...the funny (not funny HA HA but funnyWTF)thing about the "streaking" cheerleaders is that there was no actualnudity involved. There's a video ofthe incident at the news site I got that article from andall the "naughty" bits arecovered by some sort of clothing. It's pretty much a bunch of girls running across the field wearing bras and panties no doubtcovered more than they would be if they where at the beach. The amazing thing about it the situation is that if it had happened here in theStates it would have been a much bigger deal than it was there in Canada.I don't know if this is going oneverywhere but the current witch hunt of the day is the government, cops, schools, etc. going after kids taking nude pictures of themselves with cell phone cameras and passing them around. Children are actually facing child porn charges and going to prison over it. I won't get into what I think about that little gem at the moment.
