Stripped

It's been ages since being clothed in public has been a norm among human beings in any civilized society.While various stages of undressing is welcome at appropriate places, say, beaches,strip clubs or carnivals it still remains a custom to stay clothed inside a myriad of human population.As a way of protestation, getting naked in public is something that has gained momentum in the recent years.Even then,what takes some of the celebrities of our generation to shed their cottons and chiffons in public on the pretext of certain obscure causes is something that obfuscates me.

Some celebrities make it a point to go nude in public as part of campaigns against the slaughtering of polar bears for fur.While a personal rejection of clothes made of fur on part of those who oppose the killing of ursine animals may arguably seem to justify their going in the buff, striptease by activists belonging to certain organisations ostensibly triggered by the use of chicken in burgers or sandwiches made and sold by some multinational food joints baffles me.How people could make a statement on unethical treatment of chicken by posing in the nude is something that is beyond my conviction.

Public nudity is an easy way for grabbing the attention of the media and may be they are trying to reach out to more people by doing that.But whether the message that they are supposedly spreading gets the same popularity as their nudity is another question.Supporting some causes has been in vogue since the past few years but the number of people who actually practice the same in their personal lives is questionable.At the end of the day we are left to believe that it's all part of a stunt to remain in the news for celebrities with fading mass appeal and a platform to gain fame for those lesser known activists.

Finally, for the aesthetically inclined it's a treat for the eye when they see any of their favourite celebrity women naked as a jaybird.It wouldn't take any persuasion from anyone for me to join that club.But a centrefold of a skin magazine is something that i would prefer than a nude pic with a slogan against the extinction of reindeers printed underneath it.
