Via Reddit, yesterday's faddish streaker is today's sex offender.

I wonder how many upper Paleolithic hunter-gatherer kids were psychologically scarred for life before the invention of clothing.

That was then and now is now. He is 18, a legal adult. There could
of been some children 17 or younger there who could have been
harmed by this. Since he has shown the propensity to harm children
he should be registered to protect them.
Yes, nudity is just so horrible. Those poor 17 year old children could be scarred for life! Get real people, get over it, move on.
Steven, just how were children harmed? Why is the natural human body something to be "protected from?"
This is ridiculous. Nudity is not sex, and streaking is not a sexual act. Not even the Puritans were as prudish as today's society. Earlier we had the sex offenders who merely slapped girls' bottoms in school. Who's going to be tomorrows dangerous sex offender? The boy who snaps a girls bra? The boy who peeks into the girls gym?
Here's a mind melter:
What if one of those 17-year-olds turned 18 as he was crossing the
stage?
Would the child in question be only half-scarred?
Little Girl: I'll show you mine if you show me yours!
Lttle Boy: Hell, I'm not stupid: Girls get money to show theirs,
boys go to jail if they show theirs.
From a German cartoon, uh, strip.
I wasn't always the wise, mature, sage you've come to know on these pages. Once, I too, streaked. At the Lakewood Mall, which I believe is in Waukegan, Illinois. Sex offender, it means less every day. The wussification af America continues.

Kind of like reply to this

I believe I may have peed in the woods when camping before.
Tym, a squad car is being sent to you as well. Your words will be used against you.
When what is unnatural is set up as moral do not be surprised if
people act in unnatural ways. Such as:

Me ex and I defiled the Cathedral of Learning while in college, does that count?
One word: Utah.
In a lot of more cosmopoliton areas, social nudity is becoming more
accepted. WNBR is really getting popular in my area. But hickvilles
are probably viewing urban areas with distain, and the social
values that come with it.
Ellipsis is right that people probably wouldn't have flipped out
so much if it weren't in Utah--where they don't allow music.
Also, when you viewed the article, did anyone else get an ad for
Disney World? I don't think the streaker is a sex offender but
certainly the algorithm that placed that ad is.
Finally, Tym, I have a friend who was arrested for peeing in the
woods while camping. Our neighbor didn't like us because we were
loud and had already called the police on us for that, so when he
saw my buddy take a leak--supposedly anyway because none of us
remember it....but we were really hammered--he called the cops, and
they took him in. Happy ending: because the only witness never
showed up for the trial, there was no evidence and the charges were
dropped.
Ellipsis, unfortunately I have heard this type of thing
happening in places other than historical Deseret. This is a
national phenomonon.

The woods? As an urban adult male who has never, ever relieved
himself in an alley, not once, I think you should have been
prosecuted just like all those other flashers. You pervert.
this is exactly why I only beat off in the movie theatre on Monday nights 5 weeks in from the films release

Cathedrals (of any kind) count double. Congrats.
Radley,
Cuza that insipid vid you subjected us to and cuz you said to honk
if we saw something that we liked, here's a stellar vid that has a
honk reference. It's The Cars - "You Might Think"!!

Who is Juanita? Where can I find a list of Juanita's greatest hits?
I was showering and I thought, this is porn...I am totally naked....then I thought of how I was effected by all those showers and nakedness when I was 15 and I thought....how did I ever survive?
Tangentially ON TOPIC cuz this wonderful tune was originally
called "Sex Offender"- When folks fisrt saw the raw verve that
Blondie put out in this vid back in 76, they musta just been blown
away! And Debbie was sooo cute!

I think that watching Blondie vids and listening and dancing around
to their music is like one a the most fun things you can do with
your pants on. BTW, here's a hint of what I consider to be the most
fun you can have with your pants on:

I shit in a five gallon bucket once at a trash dump out in the
woods. But I emptied the bucket and left it for some other
scavenger to pick up. (Someone did, too - I went back later and
looked.)

A way better video on the future of streaking:

Big Deal - I defiled all 26 CoL Nationality Rooms each with a young
lady of the proper ethnic background, dressed in, or undressed in,
their native costume.
Why is it blocked? Why can't I see the video? Where did everyone go????
