Did anyone see the naked guy at the What Stage Friday. I was in line for the Phish pit, left side. It was during Al Green, or right after. We saw this big bald sweaty naked guy sprinting from the near the porto's completely opposite the stage towards us, even with the stage. He stopped in front of this asian lady who was sitting in one of thos low chairs. started stroking his impossibly small member (we'll blame it on the druqz), then took the hand he just contaminated and rubbed in the lady's hair and face. then he demanded the concession lady give him one of those colored watres (vitamin waters). she asked him for money, which he obviously didn't have, being naked.
security finally intervened, and they tried to talk him down for awhile, the guy was flipping out. there was like 6 security. nobody looked like they wanted to touch him, but he wouldn't cooperate (he was a pretty big guy). when they finally tried to restrain him, he threw an elbow, and one of the guards had to whack him.
kind of disturbing, but interesting to say the least.

clarification: there were no body fluids, other than maybe some nasty nut-sweat. id be willing to be that lady dropped $7 for a shower or however much it was.

There seems to be a story like this every year. It always seems to happen during a headliner. At the first roo during widespread panic, a quacked up naked guy was running around and tried to creeprub on my ex-gf, who promptly kicked him square in the sack. A highly appropriate response, imho.
I saw him. I laughed. When I saw him, he was prancing naked through the crowd at Al Green blowing kisses. The only thing that I could think of was "Man, I'm not a violent person and this is a pretty peacefully festival, and Al Green is not fighting music, but if that dude gets his junk within 3 feet of me, I just might have to be the guy to take him down"
I'm totally fine with nudity (hell, I was tempted the let the old twig and berries fly free for a while) but dude, nobody needs to see the type of thing that dude was doing.

We saw him raging around throwing trash cans before he bolted toward the left of the stage. No security on him at that point. and yes there is always one every year.

We talked about this guy in the Police Brutality thread. We were apparently sitting close to you, we were in the Beastie Boys line. I have some pics I tried posting, but I live in BFE and only have dial up. I'll try again tonight, if they don't go I'll compress them and hope the quality doesn't stink.

I hope these work!! I compressed the images so I wouldn't spend all night uploading them. One pic is when security first got him and had him spead eagle against the wall. The other is when he started arguing before he got his @ss beat. I didn't take any pics after that because security had every right to do what they did and I didn't want to be the one with photographic evidence against them.
Oh by the way, the dates on the pics are wrong, I forgot to update my date/time on my camera when I replaced batteries. This was Friday about 6:30ish.
I mentioned it in another thread, but I saw him too. He spit on my feet, then kept running, smacked a guy (who was quietly enjoying Al Green) in the back of the head, then tried to start a fight with a different, older guy. He turned a bunch of trash cans, too... Way out of control. Probably would have been more entertaining if I didn't have his spit on me.
Sadly, the problem with the ass everyone is describing is not that he was naked but that he was tweaked out on something and acting incredibly offensive and disrespectful.
Anyone been to Burning Man before? Nothing beats wandering around an arts festival in the buff!! I'd be up for a clothing-optional music tent at roo -any ideas for a catchy tent name? :-)

Anyone hear about the naked wizard dude gettting tasered at this year's Coachella? Someone must have posted on this previously as it was a huge viral video, but if not, here's a link:

Wishful thinking indeed. The infernet and omnipresent cellphone cams have (sadly) brought an end to the naked hippie ladies of Roo. Dudes, on the other hand, don't seem so bashful.

do psychadelics shrink your junk? This wizard guy had no donger either...
I think the fight or flight response to a confrontation with security or police is known to cause junk shrinkage. Speaking from experience, psychadelics don't necessarily have this effect.
Which gets me thinking... I wonder if nudity at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq was actually a physiological test to measure anxiety in the prisoners? Sort of a quick visual guide for separating the men from the boys, so to speak.

Big sweaty, druq-crazed belligerent naked guys are definitely not helping the argument to get Tasers banned.
(Yeah for Tasers!)
As effective or more would be snapping towels against the guy's naked flesh and more sensitive parts. Once he's convinced to cover up, just hand him the towel.

Yet another use for the all-important towel. Subduing naked guys at Bonnaroo.
