The Daily Newds

• British Naturism has given a top award to Eastney Naturists in recognition of the group's efforts to keep open a nudist beach.
• A New Hampshire columnist takes on the moralists who seek to "protect the children" from the word "scrotum" and nude sculptures in art museums.

  I won't say that we as a nation are slightly unhinged about "protecting" our children from reality, but we have among us a fair share of nut jobs. To use a technical term.

• Photographer Justine Kurland currently has a show in New York called "Of Woman Born", a series of images of naked women in classic American landscapes. Her subjects sound like born nudists.

  Persuading strangers to pose, often without their clothes, has never been a problem for Ms. Kurland. “I can always spot people,” she said. “It’s, like, really one of my superpowers. I can always tell which teenage girls would love living in the woods with their friends.” Finding mothers was equally easy. “It’s like with teenagers,” she said. “You find one mom, and you get 10.”

• A Morality Activist group is putting pressure on Ohio lawmakers to further regulate adult businesses.

  “Some other Ohio business owners should ask themselves, ’Am I going to be next?’” she (Angelina Spencer) said. “How long will it be before CCV decides it doesn’t like people dancing so close to each other at nightclubs and use some loophole in the law to perverse an act adults enjoy.”

• An Austrailan nudist group is inviting the public to help them clean up a beach in an effort to keep it clothes-free.
• A woman in Oregon writes a letter to the editor in opposition to the use of an "obese" nude woman in a Dove soap ad.

  When the exposed belly thing came out, it was just skinny girls wearing the style. Then it progressed to those with, shall we say, “more body mass.”So I guess it comes down to, why is flaunting an obese nude lady beautiful?...being obese has so many problems that follow. There are the obvious heart issues, high blood pressure, diabetes, knee problems, acid reflux, etc.

• New Zealand police have no plans to prevent a topfree protest because "it is a moral issue, not a criminal one."
