Mexico town bans indoor nudity

MEXICO CITY - There's a city in Mexico that's making it illegal for citizens to be naked — inside their own homes.

Officials in the southeastern city of Villahermosa confirm that the city council has adopted a law banning indoor nudity.

A council member who opposes the idea says he's not sure how it'll be enforced.

But a councilwoman who supports it says she's confident that citizens who catch a glimpse of violators while walking past their windows will report them to police — even though the law also threatens jail for peeping Toms.

1. Where's matcom when you need him?

:evilgrin:

[alittlelark]

2. How would I go to sleep??

Glad I'm not living in that messed-up city.

[mhr]

3. Who Knew The Christian Morality Police Had Infiltrated Mexico

eom

[proudbluestater]

4. Oh GAWD, now the fundies will want to annex Mexico!

[truthisfreedom]

5. somebody's really doing some thinking. they must be planning to hire

nudity police, who are exempt from the peeping tom law.

maybe they have rampant nudity problems. maybe what they really need is a law that says they have to cover their windows if they're nude. what can you do to beat the heat?

[PartyPooper]

6. Maybe Washington DC ought to adopt the same law.

After all, who would want to see Junior or Pickles nekkid in the White House?

:D

[LiberalVoice]

7. That mayor must have some sexual issues..

[iconoclastic cat]

8. That would make a great porn film.

Oh yeah, oh baby, oh yeah.

[CHIMO]

9. Don't You Know

That the next thing they will try and do is wear clothes outside. Darn. What is the world coming to?

[Trillo]

10. Hey, mebbe it's a back door approach to population control.

If a female has a baby, it's proof you were naked. Not sure how they'll prove it was 'indoors.'

Oh, no more showers. :( Peuw.

[PittPoliSci]

11. UH?

qua?

[0rganism]

12. So how are people supposed to take baths and showers?

Some laws are unreasonably restrictive, and others are serious three-headed-freak-style lunacy. I suspect this one to be of the second sort.

[TahitiNut]

13. That's why God made bathing suits.

... and changing robes. :wtf:

[0rganism]

17. Don't know about you, but when I shower I want some soap "down there"

A bathing suit is just going to cover up some of the parts that need the most cleaning, if you know what I mean. You can take away my car, you can take away my television, but when you take away that great feeling of washing my dick with hot sudsy water, you have gone much too far.

[TahitiNut]

24. TMI! WTMI!

(Too Much Information!) (Way Too Much Information!) :silly:
Careful, or I'll report you to the Mexican authorities.

[Traction]

14. So how do they change their underwear?

What a nutty law. People should be able to go naked almost anywhere they want.

[fshrink]

15. They do like the Mayor. They don't!

[CHIMO]

16. Simple

Keep their socks on.

[DulceDecorum]

18. Oh poop,

how are they going to pee?

[alwynsw]

19. ...or poop?

[alwynsw]

20. What about the donkeys? n/t

[acmavm]

21. These people are as nuts as the basket cases in this country. What

a joke. They'd better be building a bigger jail.

What next, everyone has to take the shades off their windows so they can monitor their new law? When did the bush* bunch take over down there?

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

22. Does this mean OUTSIDE nudity is okay?

[Massachusetts]

23. Its some sort of COVER UP

:crazy: :silly: :wtf:

[mainer]

25. So what ages are affected?

Can a newborn be nude? Can a 2-year-old? God forbid we allow children to appear as God made them!

[arcos]

29. of course not, that would be worse...

Pedophiles would have a great time! :eyes:

[bleedingheart]

26. Ah the smell will be pretty bad after no one bathes for a while..

[murray hill farm]

27. Ha! I will tell ya what this is about!

in villahermosa...a large city...houses practically built on top of each other...a cultist bunch of folks..have embraced nudity..all living in their homes and "doing" nudity...not all that comfy for the close, close living conditions of the neighbors and their families and kids...ha! So..this law is just a way of saying...not in our town..hehehehe! Problem will be quickly solved...just the Mexican way.

[uncle ray]

28. "not being naked" doens't mean your genetials must be covered

does it?

dance around the house in a hat, or maybe some socks.

[PurityOfEssence]

30. Sniff...sniff? Hmm, smells a little bit like RELIGION here, doesn't it?

No. Can't be.

This woman sounds like what Lenny Bruce used to call "a card-carrying member of the great legion of the unlaid".

[saltpoint]

31. Let's send Ann Coulter down there --

-- to personally monitor this crisis.

I'd feel a lot better if she were there on the scene to enforce the nudity bad in Mexico.

[Orsino]

32. If God wanted us to be nude...

...we'd be born that way.
