WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- A nudist-colony controversy has heated up after the community ousted a man whose generator blew up and set him on fire.
Paul Kuschel and his wife, Carol, enjoyed baring it all at Sunnier Palms Park, WPBF-TV in West Palm Beach reported. The natural way of life seemed to agree with the couple until two weeks ago when Kuschel was setting up his trailer in the nudist colony and his generator exploded, burning him all over.
"I had shorts on, but it would have been better if I didn't because they melted to my body. I wish I had been naked," Paul Kuschel said.
It was only a matter of time before the story took the national spotlight.
"I think Conan O'Brien said, 'It was the worst case of 'stop, drop and roll' (referring to a way fire officials say to put out a fire on ones' self) I have ever seen.' There were so many jokes," Paul Kuschel said.
Their nudist-colony neighbors didn't find the situation to be a laughing matter. They sent the couple a letter, stripping them of their home.
"'You are asked to leave the premises and never return,'" Kuschel said, quoting the letter. "It is signed by three officers."
Park officers never told the couple exactly why they were kicked out. Kuschel said he believes it is because the publicity portrayed nudists in a negative light, and his neighbors didn't like being the butt of jokes.
The nudist colony officials said they are not obligated to explain why they evicted the couple. They pointed out that Paul Kuschel recently was convicted of cocaine possession, but did not say whether that was the reason for the eviction.
Even Ap gets into the game. I think they are mad because he was wearing shorts at the time...
ping
Guess they weren't happy enough that he was "charred and leathered".
I imagine looks are a bigger deal in nudist colonies than most anywhere else.
But to be mad that he was *shock* wearing shorts? Where's the diversity sensitivity? The love?
Nudist colonies can be a real pain in the butt...
Blast burns nudist s member?
Huh??
"I wish I had been naked..."
You know, I can't think of one single time in my life, when I've been in public or in a group of people that that thought has EVER entered my mind.
I mean, those "showing up at school in only your underwear" dreams are bad enough, LOL!
Guess he'll just have to let it all hang out at home for a while. *Smirk*
Nothing crazy 'bout that pic!!
No way I'm touching that one.
The article said they were mad because they ended up on Letterman as a nudist joke. The burnt guy brought shame on the nudists...now that is funny.
