nudes
Its not illegal to go around naked in Seattle. That is of course unless you offend someone and they call the police, then you can be arrested. There were naked protesters on bikes riding through the city last weekend. I was lucky enough to witness this. 3 were later arrested for being offensive. You must be a good looking naked person. Offensive? You decide. At least they were wearing their helmets! Click on the pics to enlarge.

im not sure it was b/c the "offensive" persons were unaesthetic as much as b/c they were naked in a place where people werent expecting it - ie one couldnt make the decision to not be exposed to it (along with any minors that may be with them). altho, i do agree that we are inundated by an idealized and sexualized media (i just caught a npr show on the sexualization of children in ads) and yes, we should be more offended by our now daily (materialism enhanced) surroundings than by normal naked people.
also, i dont buy their tagline of expressing "how exposed people are to pollution". what a weak correlation.
finally, while public nakedness may not be illegal until someone complains, i am pretty sure that posting pics of genitals is against a certain blog hoster's terms of agreement. (not to rain on your parade but food for thought)
