Boulder's Naked Pumpkin Run
Twelve participants in the Boulder, Colo., annual Naked Pumpkin Run may be forced to register as sex offenders. As 150 revelers ran naked through the streets of Boulder wearing pumpkins on their heads, police arrested 12 on charges of indecent exposure. If convicted, they could be classified as sex offenders. “I was thinking a minor fine or community service,” said Eric Rasmussen, 23, one of the so-called Pumpkin 12. “I was not thinking of sex offender.”
Class-action suit for Victoria’s Secret?
A Cleveland woman is suing Victoria’s Secret, charging that its bras gave her and hundreds of other women an itchy, blistering rash. Roberta Ritter, 37, says the Angels Secret Embrace and Very Sexy Extreme Me bras caused a rash that was “red-hot to the touch, burning and itching.” Her lawyer says 200 other women also got a rash, and has filed for class-action status. Victoria’s Secret conceded there had been “a small number” of complaints.

more stupid legislation my politician's to quell irrational voter fears while they help corporations to continue transferring wealth from the poor to the top. I'm just relieved that none of those naked pumpkin runners could move into our neighborhood without getting their heads bashed in by our neighbors.
Being naked is not having sex or trying to have sex - so how can you be characterized as a sex offender ? It's like saying everyone wearing a suit is a sex offender because someone wearing a suit was a sex offender . If a person showers naked does that make them a sex offender ? - clearly not .
Good grief! Stop being so uptight America! You see more flesh on tv commercials on any given day than you just saw in Colorado. Stop trying to criminalize EVERYONE for ANYTHING. Get a grip. Grrrr.
The true "sex offenders" are any and all who see nakedness as offensive. They are PROJECTING their own sexual depravity onto their innocent victims. I for one am getting fed up with the uptight neurotic repressed control freaks and their draconian laws. Wasting police and court resources on such trivialities takes those resources away from dealing with TRUE crime, like murder, sexual predation against children, and predatory lending.
Surely the obvious solution to this is a ballot resolution to decriminalize the annual Naked Pumpkin run. In Boulder such a resolution just might pass.... David
