Mexicans are not used to showing skin. Most men wear shorts only while on vacation, and women tend not to put on miniskirts because of unwanted whistles and stares.

“This event proves that really we’re not such a conservative society anymore. We’re freeing ourselves of taboos,” said Fabiola Herrera, a 30-year-old university professor who volunteered to strip, along with her boyfriend.

Well this makes me laff. I’m not doing it anytime soon.

I guess the entity that sent us into the Garden of Eden must be saying “well after a grazillion years, these people are finally getting the idea of what I intended”. It’s hard to be proud when you’re standing in your birthday suit. It’s also hard to look down — or anywhere — on someone else. Heaven forbid you see a beautiful women. Instant approval?

On a somber note, when I saw the picture (NSFW), I was reminded of the Nazi death camps. That’ll put some chill in the humor that the photo evokes.

UPDATE: GLANEC reports (correctly) that the big fat url is broken. However the tiny url works. Maybe copying it over munged it up. Use the tinyurl!

Now where is my magnifying glass?
