Naked man story #2 for today :bounce:

WELLINGTON, New Zealand -- An environmental protester facing indecent exposure charges came to court exposing the naked truth.

Simon Oosterman, 24, arrived at Auckland's District Court naked -- but he got dressed before he entered the courtroom Thursday.

The computer technician was charged during the Auckland Naked Bike Ride last Sunday, an event he organized to protest society's dependence on cars.

When Oosterman was stopped by police during the naked bike ride, other riders covered the lower parts of their bodies to avoid arrest.

Oosterman and three supporters -- two men and a woman -- stood naked outside the courthouse Thursday holding a banner reading: "Stop indecent exposure to vehicle emissions."

He then went inside and headed up the escalator, still naked, toward the courtroom.

But he donned his clothes before entering court, where he pleaded not guilty and was released to reappear on March 21.

Outside court Oosterman said he would fight the charge as public nudity was "different from indecent exposure."
