Topless porn star parade? Auckland says OK.

news.yahoo.com — The parade is to promote an Erotica Expo later this month. This is the first year they have sought approval, and it was granted because no laws will be broken. Several city council members are shocked since they weren't notified before the parade received approval.

  • vendetta07, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11uhm...sorry to be critical of an otherwise legitimate argument but...
    "Cant you be gay and not bring sexuality into it."
    not really. homosexuality is a sexual preference, therefore sexuality cannot be taken out of it just as it couldn't for a heterosexual celebration of union. so the parade members who are demonstrating have a right to do so. that's not to say however, that you have to agree with it. also is the case with the erotica expo. if these people choose to act in such ways and are not breaking any laws. then they also have a right.
  • whozyodaddy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11I don't know about you guys, but I clicked the link for pics. And what did I get? Well, I didn't get pics.

  • Evolve, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13Pfft, if NZ is backwards then USA/Asia/UK are backwards insideout and Tilted.

    This is why NZ is better than all the other countries in 'freedom', NZers can actually do things. Unlike in the USA/Asia where you are given the illusion that you live in a 'free country' but in reality your trapped in a mindless world where you cant do anything.

    NZ Freedom > US Freedom
    End of story.

  • reubes3000, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8I was out shopping last year when they went past and i agree with Noelene about people not being able to shop due to the distraction. I was totally distracted by the passing of topless women and completely stopped all shopping activities.
    Mind you i wasn't complaining!!!

  • scoot87, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6If it was a bunch of topless male porn stars, this would not be news

  • kwoff, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6It's embarrassing that, in the 21st century,
    this is still news.
    Muslim women have to cover themselves up in a veil - this is no different!
    Why should people (women) be ashamed to show their faces?
    Why should they be ashamed to show their chests?
  • nightchrome, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5It's been legal for women to go topless in public all over Canada for years now.
    Sadly, the ones who do it are quite often the ones you don't *want* to see topless.
  • joeshlub, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5This is the first year...
  • mtryp, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6ah, i love it. they are sooo much more liberal over there. if we had one of these in the states they'd censor every breast.
  • the_snitch, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6dugg because i live in Auckland. I went to erotica last year, wasn't anything to write home about.
  • glafira, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4On behalf of Los Angeles CA 90028 I say lets do it.
  • rustybones, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4It would not surprise me if that was planned
  • deags, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4i live in AU ;)
    and yes americans are dumb
  • jodylemoine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I'm in Canada (Ontario specifically) and it's legal for women to go topless here. Doesn't happen that often, but it's perfectly legal. It doesn't surprise me at all that New Zealand is similar in its attitudes toward such.
  • JamesWilson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"They also were told police had approved the parade and would be in attendance to ensure road safety."

    Uh huh. Sure that's why they want to attend.
  • Akram, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"Hello, American Airlines?, I need a ticket for the next flight out to Auckland"
