WTF Wednesday – Male Stripper Gets His Dance On in NYC Subway (SFW, sort of)
I don’t have any weird news today. I have this instead:
–
“Keep your money in your pockets. Your erections and your moist panties are thanks enough for me.” Ah New Yorkers–they are passionate about what they do.

I haven’t seen it yet, but Magic Mike is getting surprisingly decent reviews from critics and audiences.
A BuzzFeed staffer goes and interviews male strippers at a contemporary NYC strip club to see just how accurate the movie is about modern male roles in the lapdance industry. It’s pretty accurate, she says.
Naked in New York City
Example of Andy Golub's work by asterix611
Today a model was arrested in Time’s Square while being painted by artist Andy Golub. Pics of the painted naked lady in handcuffs at NY Daily News. Her lawyer commented,
New York State Law prohibits public nudity, except if it’s part of a play, performance, exhibition or show… This particular sergeant who arrested Ms. West didn’t get the memo – or simply didn’t care.”
I googled up “new york city nudity laws” and discovered the lawyer’s comments echoed in N.Y. Pen. Law §§245.01, 245.02, in which exemptions from the ban on public nudity “apply to . . . any person entertaining or performing in a play, exhibition, show, or entertainment.”
This law was upheld in a 1999 court case, Spencer Tunick v. Howard Safir City of New York.
Also, due to a 1992 Court of Appeals ruling (People v. Santorelli, et al) women may be topless anywhere in NYS that permits topless men, including city streets, etc. Good information to know.
Have some more public nudity in Times Square:
Nudity and tasers pt. 2

What’s with all these naked men being tasered? Where are all the naked ladies?
The only major difference between this story and the first one was that this guy was on a ledge and DIED. Normally, nudity and tasing would go under “things that amuse me,” but I’m not that cruel. I just leave it as commentary on “human nature,” in this case, the immutable stupidity of pigs.
“Allah told me to watch a Bruce Willis movie and walk the dog”

That is one hilarious story of potential police brutality.
Too bad it wasn’t caught on camera. We could make another Don’t Tase me Bro remix using footage from it.

Yahoo! Ruins the Only Thing Tumblr Had Left Going For It
Via Zdnet:
Adult Tumblr blogs now removed from every form of search possible
Summary: Rather than leave adult content alone Yahoo’s Tumblr has eliminated its Erotica category, disabled search engine indexing for adult blogs, and removed adult Tumblrs from all internal search. Users are furious.

Well, technically, Marissa Mayer didn’t lie, they did leave the adult blogs alone … VERY alone.

My personal favorite Tumblr of all time is: http://indifferent-cats-in-amateur-porn.tumblr.com/ (NSFW) Which was everything I hoped it would be and more.
Oh Marissa Mayer. My dream of creating the complementary “Overly Concerned Dogs in Amateur Porn” Tumblr is dead now because of you.
Yahoo! Inc. If I was your shareholder, I would tell you to just crawl into Rupert Murdoch’s asshole and die. (It can join myspace in the grave of all graves.)

[EDIT/UPDATE: Tumblr officially responds to outrage. Zdnet post was apparently misleading. Here is a link to a Tumblr Staff post regarding NSFW content on Tumblr: http://staff.tumblr.com/post/55906556378/all-weve-heard-from-a-bunch-of-you-who-are]
