Seattle Paper Comes Out Against Nudity

An editorial today in the Seattle Times exclaimed "Eeew!" in reaction to the recent "spate of nudity news".
Maybe we're still mired in Victorian prudishness, but clothing remains the norm and modesty the standard in many cultures...if you want to be naked in a crowd, do it in your dreams.
The editorial also suggests "a sea of Dick Cheney masks" would be more effective instead of riding bicycles in the nude to protest our dependence on foreign oil, and, naturally, expresses concerns about "the children" who are exposed to the exposed.

With the arrest of three people in Seattle during last week's World Naked Bike Ride, and now this editorial, it seems that public attitudes are changing in a city that was once known for being tolerant of public nudity.
