Friday Funny: Could This Be The End Of Naked Time?
In the wake of a recent wave of people roaming naked in its streets, the Vermont town of Brattleboro is considering imposing a ban on public nudity. Vermont has no state laws against the act.
"After years of winking at public nudity, the town famous for its strip-and-let-strip attitude is now considering whether to ban it, saying the nudity has begun drawing people to the town and is offending locals."
"The Selectboard plans Tuesday to introduce an emergency ordinance to ban nudity in certain parts of town."
"'Just because you can doesn't mean you should,' said Dick DeGray, a member of the Selectboard."
"On July 6, a 68-year-old man showed up naked downtown, strolling the streets during Gallery Walk, a monthly social event in which people stop in art galleries and shops."
