Naked in France
- Some topless ladies got the support they needed from the French Government
- Two Gendarmes, or basically cops with guns in france, told some ladies to cover up their Fleur-de-ts while they were sunbathing on the beach
- The french interior minister, who also focuses on their exterior, stepped in to say that the cops were wrong and that France should free the nipple
- He said something a tit more boring than that, something about freedom being precious, but either way, I’m glad he nippled this in the bud
- The story goes that the cops only said something because a family complained
- Hey families. THIS IS FRANCE. People like baguettes, smoking, and being naked.
- It’s home of the Pièce of ass de résistance
- It’s europe.
- Euro going to see some naked people
- Look, I have a family. I don’t want my kids subjected to erroticism while going on a family outing to the beach.
- But if the ladies were just lying there existing, and you’re complaining about it, then you’re the one making it weirdly sexual.
- You’re the one with a boner in his boardshorts looking like a human sundial
- What an awkward tan line that would leave
- They’d be able to tell exactly what time you started creepin out
- He was facing East, so kand based on his tan line he started staring at the women around 10:30am
- I was on South Beach in Miami with my family. I was there with my wife, Latin fire and my son, who was less than a year old at the time. There was also a topless women about 30ft from us.
- My wife was feeding my son.
- The woman was feeding my soul

- I’d be a hypocri-tit
- Then guess what? NOTHING HAPPENED.
- Come on people. It’s nothing to lose your shirt over
