here in nyc, nobody pays any attention to anyone else. one could be
walking nude down the street, and nobody would pay it any mind. until
some cop comes along who feels like writing out a ticket. you see
enough bizarre stuff living in the big city that after a while you
become de-sensitized and very little shocks you. I once saw a couple
in central park, pretty clearly having sex, and people jogging right
past them not even noticing or caring.

Someone should probably change the MOTD, according to which this is the
GrexWalk item. . . . .

All right, so I picked the wrong city for my example... :)

re 36:
I fixed the MOTD for this week, but there's probably some automated
process that needs to be fixed for the long term. I sent mail to staff asking
them to do a long term fix.

As I recall, a New York State judge ruled some time ago that display of a
nude female torso was not indecent exposure and not a crime. In other
words, if men could legally be shirtless, it was a violation of equal
protection to prosecute women for it.
I saw a partly nude man in a crowded subway station (Lexington Avenue
line) in NYC a few years back. I would guess he was somewhat disturbed.
A few minutes later, I saw him being led away by police.

Re #40: I don't know about New York, but I think that was ruled to be
the case in Ontario.

To judge by cultures where substantial clothing isn't usually worn
(generally primitive tribal), nudity isn't much of a turn-on to folks
who generally go naked when they have a choice. From nudists i've
talked to, it sounds like expressing a "nudity means sex" attitude is
a quick way to get marked as "a creep or loser who needs to be thrown
out".
This still leaves the issue of protecting the kids from sickos trying
to sneak in past the guards. But since the politician is a southern
conservative, there's an easy answer - let the kids pack heat and
teach 'em to use it. NRA'll cover the cost - think of the publicity
when Amy (age 8) offs a creep who broke in and "was trying to fondle
little Billy" (age 4)!

There were a number of topless women at the Aqua Park (huge pair of
swimming pools) attached to my hotel in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. It looked
odd to me, but the women were completely unconcerned. One of our
(stranger) singers had his picture taken with two such women, though,
on the basis that no one back home in New York would believe him
otherwise. (Ask me about "Robert, the annoying tenor" sometime.)
Also, there were quite a few naked little kids. Nudity (or semi
nudity) is definitely much more acceptable in Europe.

When I was in Norway I was told that the topless thing had stopped a few years
ago (now the fashion is a regular swimsuit), although there are a few nudist
beaches around. Women would sometimes still flash a little boob when
changing, though, instead of trying to hide under a towel.

When I was in Bulgarian they were fining men $5 and women $10 for nude
bathing. Topless women got fine $5. In Munchen there was a nude beach in
the middle of town on a river. Maybe the fashions are changing as the baby
boomers become disatisfied with their shapes.

They fined people in US dollars in Bulgaria? Is this in order to obtain
a "hard" currency?

At the Freibad (public pool) where I lived in Germany, there was a sunbathing
area where maybe every fifth or so female would be topless. I believe there
was also an all-nude beach a relatively short bus ride away.
