Proposed Fines For Public Nudity In SF
« on: October 03, 2012, 08:23:54 PM »
A SF Supervisor is proposing fines for public nudity in San Francisco.
Folks there are saying it's getting out of hand.
I think the punsters here are going to have fun with this one.  ;)

I don't think the punsters will even know where to start.
Guy named Weiner, link to photo gallery of SF nudists, genitals and butts, however not breast?

The possibilitys are endless...

I would have thought it was a requirement there...
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Yea, kinda a known issue. Part of the local charm, apparently.

I have never lived in SF, but I am there periodically to speak at medical meetings.  The description in the article looks pretty accurate, in my view.

The only place I have ever witnessed somebody smoking crack was in SF a few years ago.

Wiener told the newspaper that public nudity was the No. 1 complaint from his constituents, who felt the "skid mark law" he proposed last year didn't do enough. That law, which passed the Board of Supervisors unanimously, required nudists to "place barriers between their bare bottoms and public chairs or benches," the Chronicle reported.

Lord. Have. Mercy.  This is the sort of government nanny state regulation that I can support.  To save me from the tragedy of sitting in someone else's skid marks.

"To me, it's uncivilized," Lawrence Snyder, 70, told the Chronicle. "Even the cavemen wore a little bit of fur, a little bit of leather."

I'm guessing that a little bit of fur, and and a little bit leather is already a common sight there.  At least they are offering a compromise - nudity is still OK for parades and festivals.  Brings a whole new meaning to Homecoming Parade.  [tinfoil]

How are they going to pay their fines if they have no pockets to carry money ?  =|
