Nudes in the news

Returning to duct tape attire, it must be agony getting it off again!  Mind you, most of the (pvc) duct tape I've encountered won't stick to sweaty skin or comes off with perspiration.  Gaffa tape is more adhesive but possibly injurious to remove!  Do they really stick duct tape between their legs and over their nipples?  Seems awfully dangerous.  I bet the tapes are doctored or not adhesive and are stuck on with a few dods of theatrical glue for the photos.

It looked shiny like electrical tape, or some of tat stuff with a backing. The fibers in duct tape threads would stretch, but also shred.

. . . perhaps it's getting a tad too politically opinionated for here.

You are right. Apologies for being sloppy and careless.

One may even apply faith in the godness of others, or even in a belief in Godly universal direction.

Again, you are right, Jbee. I may not believe the same as another's philosophy or faith but that does not mean they aren’t dedicated or committed.

As I was preparing for my Sunday morning, a scripture caught my attention. It made me think of my remark which you rightly called me to task on. It reminded me how we can do damage by word or action to those we love, are responsible for and to those we don’t even know. It is a violence of the spirit. To crush the spirit or soul is just as debilitating as physical violence. It is an offense to God.

I appreciate your reminder. I also realize that it came from someone who thought it important to point that out to me.
I will keep this in mind the next time I feel compelled to opine out of hand.

Every photo is with the same guy. I guess he must be behind it.
That's a lot of effort to go to.

Skip down to the comments and see the one about #5. Some good comments about why people do things like this.

Oh, well!

"You're not allowed there."   Police taking anti-body stand.

OK,  One of you guys has been spotted by a textile rambler.

A rambler who was left open-mouthed after stumbling across a 'feral-looking' naked man on an afternoon stroll said it was 'the weirdest afternoon walk ever'.

Nick Pentecost was exploring Preseli Hills in Pembrokeshire on Saturday, when he suddenly spotted a figure on the horizon.

The astonished visitor described the nude man as feral but calm and said he appeared to be hunched over as he wandered around aimlessly.

Okay, the seeming call to alarm story was bizarre. A benign act of a few being posted in the paper as a warning. The assumption that there si something to be concerned about, BUT that second article is just....

A "feral" man. It read like a spotting of Bigfoot. How weird could it be? This guy actually sat and watched it, like he had seen a prehistoric animal walking out of the past, or a ghost. He actually sat and stared, fascinated for TWENTY-FIVE minutes! He took pictures. This was an amazing life jarring experience? What a boring life this reporter has had, AND it actually got in the paper? What a boring rag that one must be.

When he was spotted, he scurried away like a squirrel and looked to see if the naked guy was FOLLOWING HIM!?!?!

It is very difficult to fathom that there are people out there like this, who have never conceived of being naturally naked in nature.

So, the guy was looking down, hunched over. Maybe watching footing because he was barefoot? Lost his cache of clothing?
Amazing reaction.

Merriam Webster defines,
feral: adjective
1:  of, relating to, or suggestive of a wild beast, feral teeth, feral instincts
2 a :  not domesticated or cultivated, wild feral animals
   b :  having escaped from domestication and become wild, feral cats

This person doesn’t know the meaning of the word. Seeing a naked wanderer doesn’t mean feral. An observation beyond spotting someone at a distance would be in order.

Plus, as Jbee suggests, watching their footsteps makes sense considering the landscape in the photo, pretty rocky. I’ve walked on rocky terrain so I can understand their posture. This is one of my reasons for my screen name, “eyesup”. I once bonked into a limb of a tree because I was watching my feet and not what was in front of me.

He’s afraid of a man in the distance that is displaying no aggressive posture that I can see. If he’s so timid maybe he shouldn’t be out in the wide world all alone.

Perhaps the observer ran back to his, or her mothers hand, or perhaps this observer is dimwitted? Perhaps the "feral" look is an insulting description? Perhaps that old mindset, or perspective, of being "civilized" is still lurking in polite society in Britain? Perhaps the observer doesn't believe that a human is an animal and could be naturally naked?

The article IS just soo weird!

caption under the pic says 25 minutes , text says 25 secs

this is normal for the daily wail/fail often  seems to be written by  illiterate teenagers and proof read by baboons

headline  writers often dont seem to have read the articles .

not really sure why i bother looking at it every day

Lucky for the hiker, it’s a lousy picture.

I dunno exactly if this really is a free range kinda thing, but they did get naked. They were diminishing the importance of being behind clothing, somethings are more important. But they made an exclamation of being naked and associated it with violence. I wonder if this was interpreted as stripping as akin to rape? Well, that's Argentina. There has certainly been a change in younger women in South America in the last 40 years. This wouldn't have happened back in the day, because they would shame themselves and be less virgin and not at all potential respectable wives. Uppity women were merely putas.

Good for body freedom, or bad?
Jbee

[eyesup]

This isn't about body freedom just a protest against rape wouldn't be.
It's about violence against those less able to defend themselves.

Sometimes a slap in the face is needed to get attention. This isn't violence.
It's ANGER! If not addressed it will turn that way.

I found this shared on Facebook.   It seems that going naked on the beach may become more popular in the UK.

I notice that the first picture in Brighton is not of the naturist beach, which is the other side of the pier.
