Red Bull Ad Set At Nude Beach
|
In the latest ad for Red Bull, a young woman offers a
young man a Red Bull drink and he graciously accepts. Like previous commercials
in the series, the commercial consists of tasteful hand-drawn pen-and-ink
cartoons. The ending is, perhaps, a bit risqu�, but the overall messaging is quite
positive ... right down to the fact that the story takes place on a
family-oriented nude beach complete with children building sandcastles and
chasing beach balls with tactfully placed poses.

Exhibit Ban Sparks Protests
|
Protests are pouring in to the University
of North Carolina at Wilmington over a recent decision to ban 14
photos of subjects under the age of 18 in The Century Project exhibit. The Project is an
exhibition of nude photographic portraits by Frank Cordelle of women ages birth
to 100 plus their personal statements. The Century Project exhibit has been touring universities and
churches for decades with its positive message of self-acceptance. Protesters against the university's decision include psychologists, clergy and many women who have been inspired by Cordelle's work, including a woman, now 18, who posed for the series when she was 14-years-old. The
photographs are collected in a book Bodies and Souls: The Century Project
published in 2006 by Heureka Productions.

Nude Attitudes
|
Can people unlearn their naked shame? That's the question
posed in What's the Problem With Nudity? on the BBC. Eight ordinary people--none
of them nudists--were brought together for an experiment filmed by BBC's Horizon
program to test some of the scientific theories regarding nudity and why naked bodies
can make people uncomfortable. Over a couple of days the volunteers had
unlearned many of the social conventions they grew up with, supporting
psychologists' theory that we are not born with the shame of nudity.

Topless Coffee Shop Opens For Business
|
A new Maine coffee shop in a town with fewer than 4,500 residents is drawing plenty of customer and media attention. The Grand View Topless Coffee Shop opened for business this week to great response. Owner Donald Crabtree says he hired 10 women and five men for the sought-after positions. "We don't hire '10s,' " the owner told CNN. The requirements for the job? Being friendly and what Crabtree considers most important--"treat everyone equally."
