The Right to be Naked

I regularly post articles to ideamarketers.com and goarticles.com. So I was amazed to discover that the “silly” poem entitled Because the Girls Are Naked, has the highest download—over 200 in one month—in the former article directory.

Now read: When I go to the beach to feed my eyes with the wonders of creation, I cannot look closely because the girls are naked / When I sit in a dance concert to watch the dancers and lift my soul from the sorrows of life, I cannot look closely because the girls are naked / When I attend an award night to watch the megastars and chart my course to stardom, I cannot look closely because the girls are naked / And when I walk home desiring to gaze at the beautiful faces of the damsels, and bless the God of creation, I cannot look closely because the girls are naked / What then is this life if a man cannot visit the beach, watch a dance, attend a party, or walk the streets, because the girls are naked!

I do not know if the readers were males or females. But it seems that the general public has caught the virus—the right to be naked.

Not long ago, several nude environmental protesters lined up in the Arctic. A man in the US caused a stir when he walked into a restaurant naked.

It is now the norm that celebs MUST go topless or without underpants. And are proud about it! Shameless advertising?

A disgusted Australian preacher recently called them “uncovered meat” and was lambasted in some quarters for such an unholy language. Never mind, preacher, it’s a Beach World.

In Africa, when dozens of naked old women pay you an uninvited visit, you have a case with the gods. But today, it’s the ultimate in show biz, and somewhere in a restaurant in one European country, customers enjoy their food placed right on beautiful naked bodies!

I was therefore somewhat disappointed when the list of the Top 10 Naked Artistes was missing in the TIME magazine Best 10 of the Year. Can any one give us a list?
