Streakers.....thumbs up or down?
Discussion
Apparantly there was a streaker at a local soccer ball game last night.....people on the local radio were calling in in disgust: "ruined the game" "what a moron" etc. etc.
Streaking, especially in the 70's and 80's was part and parcel of rugby and cricket, and often football.....but it seemed to die a death.
As a rugby man, I'm all for streakers during a big game - it's part of it! Especially the delightful Erica Roe at Twickers!
What does the PH collective think? "Good harmless fun" or "I didn't come here to see that on this seemingly cold night"......
Please no pictures - I've just had breakfast!

In a dark street/forest: creepy and should be locked up.

Niece was "streaked" in a forest while she was running (exercise). She took it well but I can see there are women who would be utterly shocked.
Wouldn't that have been a "flasher" then?, I'm not sure of the definitions (frankly i've never needed to know) but is a streaker in front of large crowds and a "flasher" in front of individuals? , oh how PH generates the most random of thoughts .Imagine that, on PH!
I've always thought it to be 'exposing yourself' and anyone doing it should be put instantly on to 'The Register' and banned from entering public events in the future.
Especially at such mentioned public events where there are young ones around and then some dumb adult wishes to show off his/her 'privates' to everyone because he/she thinks it 'a laugh'.
It is totally irrelevant as to what the intentions and mind-set of the streaker are....it is the effect it has on others that should be the judging basis IMO.

It always amazes me that someone could be offended or shocked by a naked person at a large public event. OK In the woods or a dark alley, then it's creepy but in front of 40,000 people it's just a bit of a laugh.
Funny - I was sat at my GF's house last night in S
horpe watching telly, keeping up with the score via Teletext. Her house is just about within hearing distance of the park with the window open so we could hear a loud cheer every so often.
The guy that streaked was an old friend of hers from college - as soon as it had happened there were loads of text messages and photos etc flying between all here friends - the lads facebook wall (aaron someone?) thing was overflowing in minutes with people phone pics and comments.
It was very entertaining, and personally I think that a streaker across a pitch is nothing more than a bit of harmless fun.
It was very funny, and the guy made a lot of people chuckle.
