Woman uses her bare breasts to quiet neighborhood

Topless woman uses bare breasts to stop ATV noise feud
June 24, 2010 • 12:18 pm

By Diana FasanellaA Canadian woman fed up with her neighbors’ 5-year-old grandson driving a loud ATV vehicle up and down her quiet street for hours has decided to deal with the two-year feud by flashing her bare breasts at the child.

Marika De Floria of Seeley’s Bay near Toronto told CNews that because police wouldn’t do anything about the “maddening” ATV noise, she decided to go outside topless every time the kid rides the vehicle on her street.

As soon as she’s spotted naked from the waist up, the boy’s horrified grandparents pull the child inside.

De Floria says it’s the bravest thing she’s ever done. The 56-year-old is not breaking the law, according to police, because it in legal for women to be topless in public in Canada.

Neighbors Mike and Nancy Berry claim that there needs to be a “little give and take” among neighbors because “it’s not right to go around topless in front of kids.”

[leftofcool]

40. That's gonna be my next gig!

The hell with being a retired school teacher! Gonna hire myself out as a breast bearing granny to unruly neighborhoods.

[roguevalley]

51. she's awesome and so is Canada. God, they lead the world. Again. :-D

[Darth_Kitten]

54. I'm having a chuckle over your subject line....lead the world? LOL

:rofl:

[TrollBuster9090]

90. Canada leads the world again because, not only is it legal to smoke pot in

Canada, but it's also legal for women to go topless. Add to that universal single payer healthcare, ten years of federal budget surpluses (made possible by the horrible socialist policy of taxing the rich at a rate 4% higher than the middle class rather than 15% lower), and spending only 2% of GDP on the military, rather than 4% and the place is a liberal paradise.

[Leftist Agitator]

96. "not only is it legal to smoke pot in"

From which universe do you hail? Because that's not the case in this one.

[rationalcalgarian]

146. Yeah, not exactly 'legal'

it's just that most cops don't want to waste their time on it. And, by reciprocation, most pot-smokers don't flaunt it in public. Sort of an unspoken agreement. Win-win situation.

I remember watching an episode of "To Serve and Protect", the Canadian version of "COPS". Two Calgary cops caught a couple of young dudes smoking a joint in an alley, They "arrested" them, gave them a lecture, made them dump their pot down a catch basin, then sent them on their way. No guns, no chase, no handcuffs. :smoke: Hilarious.

[wolfgangmo]

130. Ummmmmm.

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the US spend considerably more than 4% GDP if you add up all the military contracts, military itself plus mercenaries and other corporate pigs sucking at the public trough?

[BrklynLiberal]

61. What a GREAT video! thanks!!!

[Sherman A1]

93. Hey, 56 ain't old

so let's be a bit more sensitive.

:hi:

[MissDeeds]

100. Ditto

56 hasn't been old since my grandparent's day. :P

[Pat Riot]

109. 56 hasn't been old

..since I turned 49.

[Hamlette]

116. love the video! n/t

[Jackpine Radical]

124. Wow, thanks for that.

[MineralMan]

2. Whatever works.

A creative solution to a difficult problem. And all legal. Good job, Marika!

[Spazito]

3. I think she is extreme in her actions but.....

I can't help but laugh at the same time, forgive me!

:rofl:

[Hell Hath No Fury]

9. The five year old on an ATV --

riding up and down the street is pretty extreme. I like her solution.

[Spazito]

28. Oh, I think it very creative...

don't get me wrong but I wonder what steps she took before calling the police and then baring her breasts as the article doesn't say.

I love that my country (Canada) doesn't see bare breasts as Satan's tools, lol!

[ehrnst]

121. Here's the original article with photo...

http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Canada/2010/06/24/14496996.html

[Spazito]

122. Thanks for this...it seems she and the grandparents have been...

feuding for a couple of years as opposed to only beginning with the ATV noise. The grandparents need their heads examined, imo, to even let a 5 year old drive an ATV.

I love creative solutions and hers is certainly creative.

Thanks again for the link, it is appreciated.

[WinkyDink]

48. I agree! But she has only a few years before that kid ain't goin' NOwhere! ;-)

[awoke_in_2003]

75. no shit...

my dad used to work ER. He said to never buy my grandson an ATV- buy him a dirt bike. When you wreck on a dirt bike you break a leg (or arm). ATV's tend to land on top of you and crush your chest.

[Mad_Dem_X]

117. My cousin lost his 15-year-old son

to an ATV accident. I would NEVER allow a five-year-old to ride one.

[lunatica]

4. My 61 year old gals would scare the crap out of the kid!

After that just threatening to show em would be enough.

[BrklynLiberal]

15. ROTFLMAO!!!!

[mrcheerful]

17. Good thing you don't live in my neighborhood then............the kids would start throwing dollar

bills at you, lol. They keep trying to get peeks at my SO's butt when shes running around the house in her T shirts when we open curtains. SO's butt is required by law to have a wide load sign on it lol. Ducks for cover.

[Crystal Clarity]

38. LOL!

:rofl:

You guys are a riot!!!

[awoke_in_2003]

77. I hope she doesn't read DU...

you may be on the couch for a while :)

[Codeine]

24. This is the cougar age!

You may develop an unexpected fanbase.

[gleaner]

65. I got ya' ....

I'm 62, and mine are scraping the ground. I'd have to get a hoist, but they would scare anyone who saw them.;)

The kid's grandparents ought to be more considerate of the neighbors too. I've got a pinhead who likes to sit outside my gate and wait for his friend, boom box thumping for however long it takes. It literally shakes the house. I went out one day and let out a scream. He heard me and looked over. I put my finger to my lips and he turned it down. Then I beckoned him over and asked him please not to do that because he was getting me crazy and my husband is sick and bedridden. He forgot once, I went out and put my finger to my lips and he turned it off. Mostly he is pretty good now. The grandparents of that child should be at least as thoughtful as a male adolescent in a hot little car with a brand new sound system he is very proud of.

[a la izquierda]

74. oh my god, you just made my day.

:loveya: i truly needed that laugh.

[awoke_in_2003]

76. some things get better with age

:hi:

[onehandle]

5. Brilliant! Hey you pesky kids, look at these!

Beats firing a gun in the air.

[awoke_in_2003]

78. boobs are always better than guns. nt

[Beartracks]

125. A good philosophy of life right there! n/t

[awoke_in_2003]

147. wage boobs not war

:)

[lob1]

6. Good for her.

[Toucano]

7. The power of a couple of bazookas never disappoints.

Good for you, Marika.

[qb]

8. I approve.

The little shit should be riding a bicycle.

[pipi_k]

10. OMG I need to forward this to a friend who went through a similar situation...

:7

[Liberal_in_LA]

14. heh heh

[BrklynLiberal]

11. Kudos to Ms DeFloria!!! She did what she had to do, and IT WORKED!!!

Being topless around kids is certainly not as bad as endless noise when one is trying to relax in one's own home!!!!

:toast: :thumbsup: :fistbump: :applause: :woohoo: :rofl:

[Hepburn]

12. Good for her!

I am sick and tired of this attitude that all should be child centered.

[Greyhound]

13. K&R. How "uniquely Canadian".

[doc03]

16. Great idea. There was a local couple on the news a

few days ago with the same problem. The kids ride the ATVs across the road from them on vacant property, if they yell at the kids they get the finger, they tell their parents they tell them to go f-- themselves. They call the Sheriff the little suckers take off thru the woods and get away. It's been going on for a couple years and they can't stop it.

[BrklynLiberal]

20. Extreme situations sometimes call for extreme measures...

KIDDING!! ONLY KIDDING!!!!

[Ikonoklast]

52. That is the biggest collection of

nipple clamps I have ever seen...how will that help?






Oh. Oh!





Nevermind.

[BrklynLiberal]

[SemperEadem]

120. buy the lot and fence it in

that's the way you stop that.

[wolfgangmo]

131. Spike strips on the trails the little fuckers use.

Just be sure to purchase them using cash.


Honestly, the little pricks are doing it because they get away with it. If the cops wont do anything then go to war - just do it covertly.

[Beetwasher]

18. This Method Has The Beetwasher Seal Of Approval

n/t

[awoke_in_2003]

80. Mine too...

if a woman wants to whip them out there, then she should be allowed. Hell, I have seen some men with rather big ones (and I wish I hadn't).

[Submariner]

19. Gawd damn it! Where were these ladies when I was little annoying kid?

I always missed the fun stuff dammit. :hide:

[DailyGrind51]

21. What business does a 5-year-old have on an ATV in the first place?

I hope she also placed a call to Canadian Child Services or whatever they have up there to deal with adults who endanger the safety of young children?

[Kookaburra]

22. Exactly what I was thinking.

That's against all kinds of laws around here.

[BrklynLiberal]

23. EXCELLENT QUESTION!

I have wondered about the 7-8 year old kids that are out in my neighborhood with motorized vehicles...that sound like motorcycles...and could probably kill the kids if they fell off...or if they hit someone. The stupid parents do not even have the sense to put a helmet on the kids...

[tpsbmam]

114. I've worked with a lot of those kids after they end up in the hospital with

mild to severe head injuries. Their parents' stupidity costs the more injured of them a lifetime of hell, for those who live. Yeah, others get off more easily but it's like playing Russian roulette with your child's life.

[DailyGrind51]

139. Any person with "Mandatory Reporter" status is legally obligated to report the kid's parents.

[bullwinkle428]

32. My 5-year-old nephew rides a little "kiddie bike" with training wheels, and

his Mom is fretting the entire time! Can't imagine ANY 5-year-old with enough of a sense of responsibility to ride something like an ATV safely.

[Warpy]

47. I live in low rider and ATV country

and there was a mercifully brief period when all the kids in the 'hood were buzzing around on pocket rockets. http://www.minipocketrockets.com/

I think some kid in town ended up as street pizza because you really couldn't see these things zipping around the streets, roaring out of driveways and popping out from between parked cars. They seem to have been banished to off street tracks at skate parks.

Those things scared the absolute crap out of me. You could never see them coming and we all know what wonderful driving judgment school age kids have.

[JoeyT]

64. Yep, it's illegal in a lot of states, and Canada has more consumer and child protection laws than

we do.

I was always pissed at my mom for refusing to let me ride one of the things when all my cousins had them from the time they were 5 or 6. Of course I'm the only male out of the bunch that isn't missing a toe, a finger, or ended up with broken bones or dead from one too.

[awoke_in_2003]

81. answer- NONE. nt

[TheCowsCameHome]

104. He's already figured out how to get a pair of knockers pointed at him.

Are we sure he's only five?

:rofl:

[YOY]

138. Yeah...was wondering about that.

Far more than the boobs.

[DJ13]

25. ......suddenly the kid never wants to stop riding

[trusty elf]

26. self delete

[blondeatlast]

27. Priceless! Kudos to her. nt

[Codeine]

29. That would have made me ride more as a kid!

Seriously, motor sports AND boobies?! Talk about a two-for-one! (Or three for one, to be precise.)

[awoke_in_2003]

82. the only thing better...

than motor sports and boobies is motor sports, boobies, and beer :)

[GoneOffShore]

30. Good for her!

And the whole notion that bare breasts are somehow not acceptable is ridiculous.

What is not acceptable is a 5 year old on a noisy ATV. Actually a noisy ATV ANYWHERE!

[awoke_in_2003]

83. Very true...

we are very puritanical about such things.

[WeDidIt]

31. I approve of this noise control methodology

:thumbsup:

[Dr. Strange]

34. Definitely a clever way to nip that kind of (dangerous) behavior in the bud.

[boppers]

66. Ouch!

"nip", heh.

[redqueen]

97. ...

[izquierdista]

33. Decisions, decisions....

Tots or tits, tits or tots, what a dilemma.....:think: I know what I'd pick.

[MajorChode]

35. Now instead of saying "get off my lawn, kids"

I can just whip it out for extra effect. Somehow I don't think that will end well.

[awoke_in_2003]

84. thanks a lot...

I just had the image of John McCain whipping it out flash through my head. I may throw up now.

[formercia]

36. I had a problem with ATVs while Ice Fishing.

I was the only one on the lake fishing and they decide to use my traps as slalom markers. Luckily, I had a couple of caltrops in my kit, and while they were at the other end of the lake, I buried them in the snow on their course among my traps.

Within an hour, I had bagged 3 ATVs and a snowmobile. They ran home and got daddy, who came down and threatened to call the Police.
He looked like he wanted to get violent but the loaded .357 on my dash convinced him otherwise. I had a carry permit.

I told him to go ahead and call. They were the ones breaking the Law.

End of story. They limped home and I didn't catch any fish for all the noise.

[druidity33]

39. Really?

You carry caltrops?

weird...

but cool.

:)

[Dogtown]

41. You don't?

How do you slow down the samurai chasing you?

[formercia]

46. They were old OSS items from WWII

Made of high Carbon steel plate triangles about 75mm on a side with a slot down the middle and razor sharp edges. Two triangles fit together so that no matter which way it lands, one of the points is always pointing up. They were designed to slash the tires on heavy trucks.
The Germans would execute anyone caught with them.

My father parachuted into France just before D-Day and fought with the french underground. He was a member of the OSS and a native French speaker. They were souvenirs.

It ripped a 3 foot gash in the snowmobile tread.

[awoke_in_2003]

85. "How do you slow down the samurai chasing you?"

I post porn :hide:

[Ignis]

134. Just pull the Ninja Lever.

[era veteran]

89. I made caltrops from cardboard & roofing nails

Worked a lot better than calling the cops.

[DesertFlower]

37. i love it. nt

[Matariki]

42. Wow. You really know how to write an effective subject line!

Kudos. :wave:

[Liberal_in_LA]

70. lol. Thanks.

[Swamp Rat]

43. HAHAHA!!!!

Prudes in the U.S. could not take that. Their heads would explode.

[krabigirl]

44. awesome :)

[mmonk]

45. "the boy’s horrified grandparents pull the child inside"

:rofl:

Wonder if any of the neighbors are trying to encourage the boy to go ride again.

[elleng]

49. “it’s not right to go around topless in front of kids.”

HOW ABOUT, its not right to maintain a 'noisy nuisance' in one's neighborhood??? JEEEESH!!!

[wolfgangmo]

132. Proof postitive that rednecks exist everywhere.

I beleive up north they are called Jack Pine Savages.

[marions ghost]

50. creative!

ATV noise does not belong in neighborhoods...

[SunnySong]

53. Certainly better than my "piano wire" solution. nt

[GoneOffShore]

69. I liked it. Think of it as evolution in action.

[Locrian]

105. yes it is

>>Certainly better than my "piano wire" solution.

Yes, it's definitely a better booby trap than piano wire.

[madinmaryland]

56. This thread is worthless without pictures!!

:evilgrin:

[BrklynLiberal]

58. I cannot believe how long it took for this exact post to appear in this thread!

I have been waiting and waiting. I thought it would be the very first post!!!!

;-)

[ourbluenation]

57. so this one time...

my teenage son would not leave me alone about something he was after that I adamantly was opposed to. He would not let it go after like 40 minutes or some such craziness. I threatened to flash my mom boobs at him if he didn't stop. He thought he would call my bluff and kept at it. Big mistake.

It's been about five years now and if he is really bugging me all I have to do is grab the bottom of my shirt like I'm gonna lift it up and he stops.

So with my teenage daughter who has her own boobs this doesn't work at all and my hubs is not so inclined to flash his man bits so...with her we just started making out and it shut her up. Anything to get us to stop. Same as with the boobies, all we have to do is say were going to do it and they stop.

:rofl:

[BrklynLiberal]

59. You are wonderful!!!!

I am sure your kids will still be telling stories on you when you are in your nineties...

[2Design]

60. love this

[SmileyRose]

62. I heart Marika De Floria

snicker

[eridani]

63. Canada, eh! n/t

[Maru Kitteh]

67. I love how all of the sudden NOW the parents are worried about

1. The well-being of their child.

2. Neighborly etiquette.

[blondeatlast]

68. +1. nt

[Still Sensible]

71. Tits for Tots, eh? n/t

[ClusterFreak]

101. Ok...that's the funniest line ever.

:spray:

[IntravenousDemilo]

72. Mike and Nancy Berry should realize that it's not right for 5-year-olds to drive ATVs.

Not anywhere, and especially not on public property. It can't possibly be legal, can it, kids driving motor vehicles?

[awoke_in_2003]

73. I salute our good neighbors to the north...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meLpuF9UMvk

[herbm]

86. So I am guessing the kid was a bottle baby?

[WileEcoyote]

87. No mention of size?

Worthless without a picture...

We don't even get to know how large they were. Not that size matters so much but sure makes for an interesting conversation!

[Stumbler]

88. Wow. Very cool

[shellgame26]

91. She's badaas

Good for her!

[bobburgster]

92. Thanks, for the wake up smile!

:-)

[AsahinaKimi]

94. I see this story is getting

A lot of exposure. :hide:

[RedCloud]

95. That story was very titillating.

[NBachers]

129. This could be the start of something big

[redqueen]

98. That's hilarious.

I love it... she's lucky the grandparents are afraid of breasts... if they didn't pull him inside that might just encourage him to ride more often.

[TommyO]

99. Bravo to De Floria for creative problem solving

Who let's a five year old drive an ATV up and down the street? Idiots, that's who.

[ClusterFreak]

102. Besides thinking this is a funny story...

I can't help but wonder what kind of comment it makes about DU - and about Canada - that it takes a post about a topless woman in her fifties flashing young children, to push a thread posted in the 'Canada Forum' to the front page of this website?

With 119 recs or whatever?

I guess sex sells!:crazy: :shrug: :rofl:

[eridani]

140. We had lots of posts about Canadians when we debated HCR

Legal medical MJ, gay marriage, health care, and topless women. What's not to like?

[rambler_american]

103. One could truthfully say

she nipped the problem in the bud.
heh

[eowyn_of_rohan]

106. Of all the choices she had

what made her choose this "solution"? i think this is a bit perverse

there. I said it.

[madmom]

107. This woman has my utmost respect and admiration..way to solve a problem!

[polly7]

108. Mine too. I can't count how many small children we've seen seriously

injured or killed driving ATV's. One large rock, bump or a quick turn can spell disaster. The grandparents should be ashamed, not only for allowing them to be noise nuisances but letting them risk their lives. Whether they believe it or not, the woman actually did them a favour ..... peacefully.

[orbitalman]

110. Maybe they'll put a god-damned MUFFLER on that thing...

All other vehicles (with the exception of some trucks) require mufflers to quiet engines. Why can't ATV's & motorcycles run quieter?? There's NO EXCUSE for the noise IMO. I am on a city highway, and it is maddening. Cars go by and the only sound you hear are rubber tire road noise.

[h9socialist]

111. This sounds like a story line in Zap Comics about 40 years ago.

[DirkGently]

112. Well done. And nice take on nudity laws, Canada!

breasts are not a crime. :)

She should take on SeaDoo abuse next. Freaking obnoxious.

[liquid diamond]

113. 56 years old? Ewwwww. n/t

[rambler_american]

142. 56?

My wife is 65 and she's still beautiful. Your time is coming, y'know.

[TommyO]

143. Why Ewwwww? What an agist comment.

Don't worry, unless you die an untimely death, your time will come and somebody will "Ewwwww" you. You probably won't like it much.

[Deep13]

115. So that's offensive but all that racket is okay.

People have weird "values."

[L0oniX]

118. LOL ...good one.

[SemperEadem]

119. the neighbors are just as fucked in the head

Breasts are the first thing shoved into a newborn's face.

No, the problem is a child riding an ATV for hours on end up and down the street. The grandparents need to go buy some property somewhere out in the sticks so the kid can ride out there. It's insensitive and pompous of the grandparents to stoop to such a passive/aggressive tactic because they can't bring themselves to instill some damn discipline in their grandson... either that or spend time with the kid instead of turning him loose in the street for hours on end.

And well done for Canada for allowing women to go topless.

[JEB]

123. Much nicer

than nails in the tires. Or baseball bat.

[Beartracks]

126. Wait, I thought breasts cause earthquakes...? n/t

[TommyO]

144. OMG, Toronto just had an earthquake.

The Islamic cleric was right!

[Riverman]

127. Excellent Solution! I take my shirt off in public and my fleshy 58 yr old

man boobs scares children and old people too! Scares me whne I look in the mirror

[asdjrocky]

128. Oh Canada!

[paulkienitz]

133. wtf are they doing letting a five year old drive such a vehicle???

If it's that noisy, that implies it's powerful enough to be pretty dangerous.

[polly7]

141. Yep

It also means they wouldn't hear a vehicle approaching from behind as easily. ATV's are big up here, but mostly on farms. Sooo many accidents with them.

[femrap]

135. I really have no use

for adults who can't control and teach their children/grandchildren respect for other's space.

Mike and Nancy Berry need to get a brain....and I guess shouldn't have reproduced. Their gene pool needs some chlorine.

That's why there needs to be 'Noise Codes.' Unfortunate that common sense and civility doesn't work anymore.

[riverbendviewgal]

136. Canada is pretty enlightened.

I breast fed my boys in the 70's and it wasn't weird then and it isn't weird now.
I find obnoxious noise offensive and I thought this was a novel idea to get to stop it.
I wonder if it would work for annoying barking dogs?


Toronto has a nude family beach on Toronto Islands park. No problems with it as far as I know.

Since it is not illegal to go topless in Ontario a few women do at the beach but I only saw a couple walking along the streets and they really shouldn't have been topless. LOL.

If anyone is in Winnipeg in July check out the breast fest there.

http://www.sandboxmag.com/culture/breast-friends/

[Triana]

137. It's also not right to let your kids terrorize the neighborhood either.

I don't blame the kid. I blame whatever adult is responsible for him.

[Tutankhamun]

145. To do list:

1) Buy ATV
2) Ride around in front of neighbor girl's house

Note to self -- Next time, make sure her grandmother isn't home.

My eyes! It burns!!!!!
