http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=121635664 <--- the news story.

In the continuing saga of hipsters trying to save the planet by biking everywhere and Chassids not wanting their biker shorts and sports bras to run over the children, the hipsters decided to put on a "nude freedom ride" in order to really stick it into the Rebbe's craw.

It was planned for Friday night and Saturday morning in order to get the full effect.

However... New York experienced a blizzard this weekend, as well as most of the eastern seaboard, causing a change of plans for the nude protest.

Only New Yorkers would plan a nude protest in (almost)winter...in New York.

This has facepalm written all over it, on both sides.

I think this is hysterical, however although nude protests are allowed the vast majority of conservative religions would find them offensive.

Technically they are not. A bunch of people riding bikes down a main road to show the importance of bike lanes is known as traffic

If they're all wearing speedo banana hammocks, they get more attention.

Now take the same young man in a banana hammock and have him ride passed the rebbeson on their way to shul.

That you alert the media for, which is what they did, however the best they could come up with was a woman in jeans and a head scarf.

I'm pretty sure the point of a nude protest in a Chassidic neighborhood is to be offensive.

yes but the real trick is to be offensive and annoying without actually breaking any laws

I have been trying to master this for 18 years.
For those that have, I salute you.
