Naked Bike Ride in Miami Protests Gulf Oil Spill
The Miami New Times ^ | June 9, 2010 | Amanda McCorquodale

If you're like us, the first impulse you had after seeing your first oil-soaked seagull was to rip off your clothes and hop on a bike. This Saturday, you can do just that in the company of strangers at the Miami World Naked Bike Ride to protest our nation's dependence on that gooey, wildlife-killing, black gold.

OK, so the organizers put an asterisk next to the word nudity, encouraging imaginative costumes and well-placed body paint. In other words, bare as much as you dare.

World Naked Bike Ride is an international movement, practiced in cities like Vancouver, British Columbia and Auckland, Australia, with the following mission: "We face automobile traffic with our naked bodies as the best way of defending our dignity and exposing the unique dangers faced by cyclists and pedestrians as well as the negative consequences we all face due to dependence on oil, and other forms of non-renewable energy."

Will Miamians have the balls to bare all like these international cities? And will all the exposed balls stop the tar balls from flowing this way? Probably not, but our only other idea is to stop up the leak with Sarah Palin's giant bouffant.

******

The first ever Miami World Naked Bike Ride happens this Saturday at the sun-friendly time of 4:30 p.m. The ride starts outside a Miami BP gas station at Biscayne and 10th Street, then heads to South Beach via the Venetian Causeway.

EEEEEEEEK!

Is this even legal? Can't they all be clapped in irons for indecent exposure or public lewdness or something?

There is logic there, see, the oil execs will see all of the naked liberals and then they will want to commit suicide by stuffing themselves into the pipe thereby sealing the leak with 1,000's of dead oil execs.

OK. Then DON'T scroll 1/2 way down this page to see pictures of the "World Bike Riders". :)

I don't know if I made it all the way down to the bike riders, but I saw plenty of people that need a good azz-kickin'. Maybe we can send Obambi to take care of that!

Ho hum, more naked people. If they really want to get our attention, they’d ride their bikes in full Victorian regalia.

I beg your pardon?

Wow. Those are the tiniest d*cks I’ve ever seen. Either insane statists have extremely small ones, or I’ve been a very lucky woman in my two marriages.
