The Null Device

Berkeley has had the Naked Guy, and now Britain can match him with the Naked Chap, a.k.a. Vincent Bethell. Mr. Bethell has taken his clothes off and vowed not to put them back on until public nudity is legalised.

"Being human is not a crime - people should not be punished. I'm remaining naked until it's legalised but after me walking around for a few weeks it may be considered acceptable. I'm doing everything naked - I'm collecting my Jobseekers Allowance naked."

Not surprisingly, the British courts aren't sympathetic to Mr. Bethell's one-man crusade; he was arrested and appeared in court, charged with "threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour within sight or hearing of persons likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress", and kicked out of the courtroom for being naked.
