The Naked Lady Rides Again In Oregon

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

What's Earth Friend Gen doing with her hands?

Back in June, we told you about Gennifer Moss, the "Infamous Naked Lady," who was prevented from bike riding naked in Ashland, Oregon's 4th of July parade. She's back in the news again, this time for actually following through on her promises, despite public outcries...

According to several sources, including the Associated Press, Moss has been riding her rollerskates naked through the Portland streets. The police, of course, are concerned for Gen's "safety":

They were getting calls about a nude on-line skater whizzing past tourists and rush-hour commuters.

But you can do that in Oregon, where occasional nude bike rides draw police only for crowd control and shows featuring live sex acts are protected as free speech.

Interestingly enough, the article eventually admits that the calls weren't "complaints." Rather, the fuzz said that Oregonians are so nice that they were merely concerned about their Earth Friend's well-being and that they stepped in to check on her. Nice try, copper.

By the way, press reports are confusing, but it sounds like one of the complaints was actually on behalf of construction workers. What the hell is going on with this country?
