Be even funnier to see a demonstration like this from People of Walmart instead of Babes on the Beach . Or scary. Could go either way. Mostly I just want to pester everybody there to use their sunscreen.

Want to go topless? I don't have a problem.
Just don't have a cow if my jaw flops open and I start drooling like drunken moron.

Am I the only one feeling cheated by the tape? Here in Austin, men and women have equal rights to go naked (and in some parts of the greenbelt, the hippies are a-plenty nude) but you can't be "lewd" which gives a lot of leeway. I see both sides-yes, it's equal rights for men and women, but we have sexualized women's breasts and not men's chests. Blame Playboy :)
We had a group demonstration a few mardi gras ago here-lots of old hippie women standing topless on 6th street. Funny.

That is just a creepy PR stunt pulled by the whackjob who founded a self-described "UFO religion."
Look up Claude Vorilhon AKA Rael who founded the Raelian Movement, the sponsor of gotoplessDOTorg.
It's nothing more than a sex cult trying to garner attention & members in the guise of equality. Creepy.

yeah, don't blame playboy, blame evolution, or creation or whatever. brain is hardwired. selling to the hardwired brain is par for the course.
So, I dun care if females want to let it hang out, but like Darth, you have to assume I will be watching. That is, in fact, why the law exists. to keep women from feeling the uncomefortable gaze of men. That some women want to feel that gaze is up to them.
The deal is something like this. I could go without my shirt too. Why don't I? Because no-one deserves that kind of abuse in public. Essentially I have nothing worth showing off, so why would I? Most people DON'T have anything worth showing... It's just that they don't like to be told that.

I think you put that in the wrong order -- MY favorite is the guy with his Jesus sign hanging out, next to the lady with her titties getting some air. Now let me see, what was it Jesus said about toplessness? Oh, right, nothing. So why are those self-righteous assholes down there parading around with their signs?

"brain is hardwired. selling to the hardwired brain is par for the course."
There a lot of places in this world where women's breasts are not seen as sexual. Lots of africa, some of asia, some south america. It tends to be more primitive peoples. Seems to argue against hardwiring, don't you think?

Acctually Steve Jesus dis mention breasts once or twice
Luke 23:29
For the time will come when you will say, 'Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!'

I'm supried our resident grammerian Conan hanst asked this yet, but how can it be a national day when it takes place in just one municipality?

"There a lot of places in this world where women's breasts are not seen as sexual."
Yeah, why do you believe that? Do you believe men aren't looking just because they are always on display? Are they not included in fertility rites?
Do you have evidence of this? Seems like the evo/psych name rack as second only to hip/waist in what is an attractor for men, and predictor to fertility.
SwissArmyD at August 24, 2010 3:08 PM
Luj, apparently we had one here too. So thats at least 2 places....
Swiss, I suppose it's because the men say it's not the boobs when these "tribes" (for lack of better word) are studied. If we aren't going to take the men's word for it, then maybe we could observe that the "alpha females" who are most desired in these tribes aren't the ones with a great rack (which definition, of course, varied by locale anyway)
I have no dog in this fight, I attract ass men. But there are studies showing boobs aren't perennially and universally obsessed over.
