The Weekend Newds


  • In Singapore, 2 animal rights activists have been detained and will be deported for merely planning a naked protest.
  • An Oklahoma police chief is under attack because his wife has nude photos online.
  • Detroit Lions defensive coach Joe Cullen was arrested after ordering in the nude at a Wendy's restaurant drive-thru.
  • Christi Womack in the Herald Tribune recounts a day 22 years ago when she encountered some skinny-dippers at a Florida swimming hole near the Rye Road Bridge. She says, "To this day, I think about the naked people every time I cross that bridge." Personally, I think that her sharp memory is kindled by her own personal longing to be naked in that swimming hole, too. Nudism is within us all, it's just been repressed.
  • A Louisiana man, who is apparently a member of AANR and likes to be nude at home and in his yard, is upsetting his neighbors who think that he is a pervert. "Sometimes, he's sitting in a chair on the porch naked except for a wash cloth is his lap," Porter (a neighbor) said of Raymond Haley. "It's disgusting."
  • Four Hong Kong Disneyland staff members have been fired for being naked in the changing room. Disney is being sued.
  • Starbucks is celebrating 30 years of being the java giant by re-introducing its original logo. Apparently the innocent bare-breasted line drawing of a mermaid was too much for an elementary school principal in Washington who ordered all teachers with Starbucks cups to cover up the offensive picture because it could be "distracting" to students.
