Let’s Get Naked and Start a Revolution
Posted by Deutlich on January 23rd, 2008 | Filed under: Uncategorized
Since then, I’ve been pondering this grand notion of nudity and reclaiming what’s ours. I mean, America isn’t exactly in the best lime light at the moment. Right? Right. Our civil liberties are being chucked out the door. Family members, friends and neighbors are being carted off to a part of the world we don’t have any fucking business being in. The financial burdens of our citizens are getting far worse than any of us would like and blah blah blah.
How fabulous would it be if we fashioned the Million Man March into a Million Nudists March?
I envision PETA would support the cause and be out there in full force. I’m sure they would use colored hair spray previously tested on unsuspecting animals to distinguish themselves. Oh, wait… That’s not what I meant [uh...yeah, it is].
Those folks most concerned about taxes and financial things could paint huge money symbols on their bodies. You know more of us would pay attention to that boring, hum-drum of a topic if titties and jingleberries were involved.
…I’m just sayin’.
Picture a million naked people in the middle of DC, chanting about the unjust government, screaming their political innuendos and causing a ruckus. Along with picket signs and banners, there would be jiggly boobs and flapping penises. We could have sections of Clinton vs Obama* supporters. Men in favor of Barack could tie yellow strings around their gonads and the women could use those fancy nipple tassels. Hillary fans should use red. Then everyone could do the hokie pokie and swing it all about and maybe even sing a little kumbaya.
See?
It’s totally plausible!
This is an area of politics, after all, and sometimes people just need to cut loose.
Obviously, due to the governmental strong-hold, it means all the crazy antics usually go on behind closed doors. To be frank, I’d venture to say that some of this region’s outlandish habits rival those of Las Vegas. Politics will do that to a person, after all. It’s stressful, you know!
I think it’s a pretty safe bet that the mantra around here goes a little something like this:
Don’t do anything illegal! Ever! Otherwise, Uncle Sam will send you off to prison and you’ll be ass-raped the rest of your life! Eh. On second thought… just don’t get caught on tape, video or camera. Ever.
Marion Barry, anyone?
*Really? Does it even matter who else is in the race for presidency? I think not.

I agree that DC is way too buttoned up to ever do that kind of thing. We’re much more likely to see such a rally in San Francisco.

holy cow! how many times can you post in a day! i can barely keep up!!! hahaha. and, i would TOTALLY join a naked march. no matter what the cause.

Is it bad that I looked at that picture and all I could think was, “Oh my lord, those are some serious bushes!”? Tee hee
I am way too immature to really be 26 years old.

Jess – I swear, DC is only fake-buttoned up. Look just below the surface and there’s all sorts of illegal shit goin’ on..
Ex-Tex – Uhm. That’s a good question. Probably too much? Or something? Iuno.. I talk a lot.
Le Petit – Don’t worry, this 26 year old is doin’ the SAME damn thing…and it’s making me giggle.

Honestly, I think its a brilliant idea…..I think that if we all were able to get naked like that, it would abolish the myths that a lot of people have about their bodies, boy image issues etc. if NAKED were acceptable, people would probably embrace their bodies.

haha hilarious. let me know when you organize this. LOL

I’m in; never liked clothes shopping anyway!
If only someone had proposed a good bit of nudity in 1943; it would have made dealing with tips 3 and 4 so much easier, and would have removed the need for tip 11 altogether.

Politics is so stressful that poor politicians fall asleep wherever they can or can’t
I would love to see the reactions to the Obama supporters with all that stuff dangling around
Hillary in red sounds not so interesting, but then again, that fits as well, no?
I honestly don’t want to know what’s going on behind closed doors anywhere where people have a problem with nudity, Sex and whatnot.
Sometimes the world is so sick… :S

You used the word “jingleberries”. Ten extra points for awesome word use. I hadn’t heard that term in forever.
January 24th, 2008 at 3:21 am
Its too damn cold out.
January 24th, 2008 at 4:31 am
WOW. You couldn’t PAY me to be naked in public, let alone naked in public with those people.
January 24th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
Lol @ lets get naked and start a revolution. It is basically what it has come down to though huh…
I’m going to have to disagree on the whole marching naked thing, because some “people” should stay covered up. Would you want to see Star Reynolds naked? What about Michael Jackson?
January 24th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
If you ever run for office, you totally have my vote.

this is a phenomenal idea. as someone who once worked in DC, i think most of the Hill would shat themselves in we managed to organize a million-man naked march.

Chelsea – I think you’re right.
Maxie – WILL DO!
OenoLogical – Clothes shopping certainly is over rated.
Nicole – Definitely fits, haha. And honestly? I don’t think they have problems with nudity – I think they like to pretend like they do.. when behind closed doors all sortsa shit goes on.
Brandy – Yay! points!
Ethical – These things take time to plan, no one said it’d actually happen in the winter.
Ashley – sorry?
Puddin – Haha, you crack me up. I doubt either of them would join the cause anyway.
Peter – Fabulous!
Ashley – THANKS! And you’re right, they WOULD shit themselves. Hard.
January 24th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
Ha, you think DC would shit themselves? The puritans in CT would be even worse. I think there’d be 3 of us out there, still in our knickers because well that’s about as naked as we get.
January 24th, 2008 at 8:44 pm
Lets do it!! I would totally strip to show those politicos whats what! and then we could add that to Smarter Princesses list of places to meet men…. Good Idea? You get the awkward part out of the way first
January 25th, 2008 at 12:17 am
I liked being naked. And revolting. Let’s do it. Sign me up.
January 25th, 2008 at 1:15 am
nicoleantoinette…you are not revolting!! oh wait, you meant…oh, ok…never mind
January 25th, 2008 at 1:27 am

also, i love that you used the word “jingleberries.” LOVE.
January 25th, 2008 at 2:27 am
SP – Knickers? Hahahahaha. I love it.
BF – I love the combining of getting naked and meeting men. A-mused.
NA – I heart you
WB – Goof
McGee – Yes! More people!!
January 25th, 2008 at 3:53 am
Wouldn’t it be weird if people just didn’t wear clothes? Like, ever? That is what your post made me think about, I know that wasn’t the point. Though of course I will join you on your march! Sign me up!

Tunick! *That’s* his last name!!
Thankyouthankyouthankyou! I absolutely love his photography and I always remember that his first name is Spencer and the last name totally escapes me.
So Tunick. Like tunic, which is an article of clothing, which is ironic, because he photographs naked people. Got it.
Yes, this is how my mind works. Scary, I know…
(Also I would totally march naked through DC, just as long as it’s in Springtime when it’s warmer… ‘kay?)

Virginia – I think it’d be kinda awesome. hahaha. AND YAY! Another participant! Whooot!
Froggie – Your train of thought? Totally similar to mine and I freaking adore you. Yes I do. Rockstar, that is whatcha are.

I look pretty horrible naked, so I think I’ll pass. Trust me, you really don’t want to see my fat hairy ass! So instead I’ll be fully clothed and holding up a Ron Paul 2012 sign.
