Show Your Tits, Win $29,000!



It’s true ladies! That $29k can be yours as well! All you have to do is convince a New York City police officer to arrest you for unleashing your bazoooms. Then sit back and let the money come rolling in.

Jill Coccaro, 27, was arrested on a topless stroll two years ago, despite a 1992 state appeals court ruling that concluded women should have the same right as men to take off their shirts.
Coccaro, who now goes by the name Phoenix Feeley, remained in custody for 12 hours before she was told prosecutors were not going to pursue charges.
Her attorney, Jeffrey Rothman, told the Daily News that his client won the civil rights settlement from the city, which did not admit or deny wrongdoing.
"We hope the police learn a lesson and respect the rights of women to go topless," Rothman said.


A-fucking-men, Jeffrey.

Caccaro, who must be the only person left in America without a blog, alleges that she was mistreated in the 12 hours she was detained. She said police dragged her out of the police car by their hair and put her through a psychological evaluation. But getting her kit off is nothing new to Ms. Caccaro/Feeley.

She told the newspaper she had gone bare-breasted after running the 2004 city marathon without police bothering her.
"I've always just felt that was something natural," Feeley said of going topless. "I've kind of always done it out of practicality."


While I’ve never really felt like practicality was an obvious reason for bare breasts, I’m in no position to argue. And neither is the city of New York, after the aforementioned case of People v. Santorelli. In that case, the Court of Appeals (New York’s highest court) found that the criminalization of mere exposure of specific parts of a woman’s breast could not sustain equal protection review. That’s a fancy lawyer way of saying that it is totally cool if you’re in NY and you’d like to get naked, like now. (Please)

Oh, and because I know you pervs want to know, Phoenix Feeley looks like this:

I loved it!

I thought NY cops had more important things to deal with other than half naked hot women.



Let's be fair: there's nothing more important than half naked hot women.

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

Unless, of course, it's fully naked hot women.

I'm torn. On the one hand, lots of public boobies will desensitize me to the delights of boobies. On the other hand, we should all get over it. So, I suppose I endorse this development, as it were.



You say as you post on a site that is overflowing with thousands of pictures of boobs...
