Earthquake!

[Samurai_Jerk]

As nutty as this shit is, I can't help think how public nudity in the US like this would get them labelled as "sex offenders."

Yeah, that's far worse because once you're on the registry you're fucked for life.

As douchey as I think tourists are for doing that stuff

They really are assholes though. I saw it a lot in Thailand. Not just topless sunbathing but people changing into their swimsuits in broad daylight on the beach. Other than the disgust I felt seeing a fat old Nazi's graying ball sack from behind as he bent over to pull up his swimming trunks, it doesn't bother me on a personal level. But at least make a half-assed attempt to respect the local sensibilities.

“There have been reports in Malaysia that they also urinated or insulted their guide, but I don’t believe that at all. Eleanor just isn’t like that. She is mortified that she might have offended people.”

Oh dear looooooodeee loooood, urinated? On a mountain? How dare they! What with all the toilets that are obviously available on mountains.

That's my only point. I actually couldn't care less, but at least be enough of a non-douche to find out if your hosts do. Certainly on the Thai islands the Germans and the Scandos were heads and above the worst cuntish turds I have ever had to watch: public dressing, undressing, nude swimming and cavorting, and even walking into beach front cafe huts hanging out every which way imaginable and going into spastic outrage when cautioned or criticised. Total Eurotrash. But at least they didn't cause any earthquakes like these Cdn/British twats. That just seems ungracious.

Tourism in Malaysia may cause your way of thinking to regress a millenia

I was thinking more along the lines of "Warning, the fun that you have seen has been prescribed by Islamic clerics, any actual fun is punishable by imprisonment or death"

Proscribed. Prescribed is pretty much the opposite. To be fair, getting naked in public view does tend to earn opprobrium. Even in Kansas or Berkshire or the equivalent in Canada.

Oops! I didn't bother to look at it before I posted.

How are you supposed to switch swimsuit on the beach ?

There was a newspaper that once published a picture of JM Le Pen (our local Ishihara) schlong out switching swimsuit on the beach... Despite the lack of popularity of the guy newspaper publisher faced a public backslash...
With reaction mostly between "so what" and "fuckin voyeur"

What's next banning wet t-shirts or topless sunbathing ?

It's already far enough in dictatorship that some mayors forbid bikinis or light swimwear in coastal city streets. There was no point in beating the nazis if it's to be worse than they were. (Especially with krauts so used to geriatric public sausage fests)

Ehmmmm

Earthquake anyone ?

Hammerman, you good ?

No earthquake showing around that time. Maybe a truck running into the bunker?

However looking at the list it seems the various 沖s off the Kanto/Tohoku coast have perked up since yesterday.

Too much activity for my taste...

Asama-yama's volcano warning level has just been raised from 1 to 2, if it helps you sleep better.

Great, need to restock on spare air filters for the whip...

All things considered, it could have been a lot worse.

Malaysia to deport four Westerners over nude photos on sacred peak

Kota Kinabalu (Malaysia) (AFP) - Four Western tourists were ordered deported from Malaysia on Friday after pleading guilty to obscenity charges for taking nude photos on a popular climbing peak, an act some in the country blamed for causing a deadly earthquake.

The defendants -- Eleanor Hawkins of Britain, 24, Dutchman Dylan Snel, 23, and Canadian brother and sister Lindsey, 23, and Danielle Petersen, 22 -- were arrested earlier this week in the wake of the deadly June 5 quake which killed 18 people on Mount Kinabalu.

A court in Kota Kinabalu, capital of the state of Sabah on Borneo island, sentenced them to three days' jail time starting from when they were arrested on Tuesday, meaning their term had been served.

They also were fined 5,000 Malaysian ringgit ($1,330) and ordered deported for committing an "obscene act in a public place," which can carry a three-month jail term.

It was not immediately clear when they would be deported.

With all the focus on the nudity I kind of missed this part.

The earthquake, rare for Malaysia, sent landslides and boulders raining down just as more than 150 hikers were near the summit enjoying its sunrise views.

The 18 dead included seven schoolchildren from Singapore, along with two of their teachers and another adult who were on a school excursion to the mountain.

I guess those fines will quiet down the spirits...

There is no way the tragic death of 18 brown people can compete in the newsroom with the titillation of bare bums. Or with the opportunity to point at and criticise another culture for not being 100% perfect like that of the news editors.

I'm sure the coverage of this incident in Singapore has been quite different.

To be fair to the news media, Malaysia could have done a lot better than appointing a practising witch doctor as Tourism Minister and allowing him to make press statements glorifying primitive stupidity. What amazed me about the media coverage was the trivialisation of the stunt the kids pulled, which does support your last charge there, but their silence on the charges of seismic culpability from the Malaysian JuJu Men. That level of arrogant retardation deserved much more ridicule than it received.
They also seem to have missed catching that other Cdn retard that seems to have been the instigator of it all. It would have been nice to get him locked up.

Surprisingly, not much. This report fails to mention Singaporean deaths in the earthquake at all, a shock when you consider that any mention of Tohoku in the media requires the comment that there was an earthquake and tsunami there four years ago. About the biggest change I see is the unnecessary mosaic over the graphic, so that the fact that everyone has undies on in the photo is obscured.

Edit: I just saw the youtube account of the self professed instigator. A bit of a douche. However much we wish it was otherwise, that is not however a crime.

[kurogane]

I wondered why all the GRAPHIC PHOTOS shown of the event had everybody still clothed; I assumed that was a photo from just before or after the actual nakedness. I read that some of the girls went topless, which is douchey inappropriate, but if their indecent exposure didn't even actually amount to exposure the whole thing makes the Malaysian side look even stupider than the bunch of dumb kids that ignored their guide's instructions and requests and local etiquette. Not that I need much more evidence to suggest that a lot of Malaysians seem pretty fucking stupid in a lot of improtant ways. I get very tired of tourism reliant peoples that get pissy about tourists doing trivial level stupid things, even more tired than I get of that sort of tourist.

As for that Cdn douche I read that he was also there and naked, so he should have been done as well, but it seems he flew the coop right after. No big deal anyways, but it would have been funny to hear his pissy whiner account of his Malaysian Midnight Express.

[wagyl]

There are photos around of the douche mooning on other mountains, so I have little doubt that there was at least some hanging of arses around the place. I don't know about junk waving in the breeze. There is a tendency for guys without a shirt on to be labelled as NAKED for the sake of clicks, so I really don't know what that word means any more.

The photos have been scraped from Facebook which has a no arse policy, so that might explain some of this.

[kurogane]

Most of the ones of him shown in news articles were of Cdn or NA mountains, so no big whoppdee do there. On one of his Youtube videos the negativity of the comments was really quite remarkable, but I get a feeling he thrives on being a rebel nobody understands, or so he thinks, so it was heartening to see so many are rather quick at recognising a douche without a cause. Something about his mediocrity just screams Winnipeg to me.

[Coligny]

The world needs more public mooners than it needs governement officials linking earthquakes to offensed deities...

We can even safely set the max ratio at whole planet of mooners to 0 deity nutters.

What amazed me about the media coverage was the trivialisation of the stunt the kids pulled,

Yup... It's almost like if Queen Victoria was dead and buried... A shame eh...

[kurogane]

Well, I would call that a manufactured need but I agree they're much more tolerable than mealy mouthed monkey brains running ministries. Even the local headman came across as a bit loopy, and he might actually almost believe some of that rubbish. I wonder if he got his 10 buffaloes?

Still, mooners, nudists, topless bathers............................a bit like the Special Olympians of sophistication.

Like redneck driving lifted pickup trucks in mud ponds and swamps... Don't like it... Good, don't do it... Just don't go bullshitting your way to forbid others peoples fun, you party pooper. I'm sure the most vocal against these "deviant" fun activities are once again bible thumping necro pedophyles who just want to distract attention from their illegal activities...

[kurogane]

Oh, I am far too tolerant of retards and plebtrash to want to forbid anything they do, though I have no problem with them getting bunged for the consequences of their choices. Public nudity is so lame there's no need to even react, and it's such a cheap and ready confirmation of their inferiority it would be a shame to try and restrict it.
