Cover Your Ass Crack While Dining
San Francisco bans naked dining, and demands that you put a doily down before sitting on a public bench. Via FOX:
The city's Board of Supervisors has adopted new rules that ban naked people from eating in restaurants, and forces nudists to place a cover on public chairs and benches before they sit down, the San Francisco Examiner reported.Supervisor Scott Wiener, who introduced the legislation, said, "We did hear from folks in the neighborhood that these are actually tangible issues that are happening in the Castro and so the legislation is important for that reason."
"I'm not a health expert, but I believe sitting nude in a public place is not sanitary," he said in September when the ordinance was introduced. "Would you want to sit on a seat where someone had been sitting naked? I think most people would say no."
Authoritarian cultures are by definition childishly afraid of cooties.
Butts! Ewwwwww! Ear wax! Nose hair!

I'd actually rather sit on a seat where a clean, naked person has been sitting as opposed to a not-so-clean clothed person.
You think a couple layers of cloth prevents nastiness from escaping?
And if (the appropriately named?) Scott Weiner is "not a health expert" then what business does he have voting one way or another on supposed health related laws?

Must have been going to the wrong restaurants. Though I'm guessing that the naked patrons in the Castro are probably unlikely to be the sort I'd prefer to see that way.

Where were these people when I was living there?

Why in the world is this activity concentrated among homosexuals? Surely there are heterosexuals doing this stuff in San Francisco as well?

Amy,
Just to be picky -- there is no law against going barefoot. ;-)

Just say NO to secondhand skidmarks.

so when you use a public toilet you are doing what exactly?

The fact that the Bored of Soups even bothers to address this illustrates just how creepy San Francisco has become.
Whoever is in charge of promoting tourism in SF must weep when these decisions make headlines.
