Watch a Reporter Get Naked Smack in the Middle of Interview with Mayor



http://therockstation99x.com/reporter-naked-mayor/

Well, here’s proof that maybe Canada is not as bad as we think.

In the middle of interview with the mayor of Kelowna, British Columbia, reporter Lori Welbourne decided to tackle the issue of going topless in public.

Mayor Walter Gray is stunned, at first, but quickly gathers himself and continues with the Q&A and a spirited discussion with Welbourne.

And good news for our intrepid reporter, too – Gray tells her she’s within her rights to discard her shirt.

Let’s just hope this doesn’t start a trend. We don’t need to see Diane Sawyer showing off what God gave her the next time she sits down with President Obama.

What's wrong with a heterosexual male looking at breasts that were just flashed in front of his face?

And trust me, he looked.

I just found some more info:

<snip>

Canadian journalist Lori Welbourne tried to prove a point on International Go Topless Day by going topless during an interview with a local mayor.

International Go Topless Day, which supports women having the same right to go bare-chested as men, was on Sunday. Gray later told CBC News that he knew what was coming ahead of time and was playing along.
