No more freedoms: 'Naked Lunch' May Be Banned in Maine
"Naked Lunch" just doesn't sound appetizing to some people. A sandwich called the Skinny Dip, featuring sliced prime rib in a baguette roll, has been offered free of charge anyone willing to plunge naked from The Black Frog Restaurant's dock into a lake.

Since the free sandwich offer was introduced three years ago, owner Leigh Turner has found plenty of takers. "We've had two or three a week," he said.

But now the promotion is running into trouble: A patron apparently suggested to selectmen that the activity be banned.



Thats it. Its over.

1. That link could have come with a warning
"No Pictures."

2. Uh oh. Someone was having fun, better shut that down quick. Or
maybe it was the "free lunch" part that some rethug objected to.

5. "A patron suggested..."
very nice euphemism for "a soulless, fun-hating prude unwilling to confront their own psychosexual issues has instead expressed them by pointlessly whining about quirky, harmless goings-on at somebody else's restaurant."

6. The word "Naked"...
Really cause some people to lose all sense of proportion.

I have $5.00 that says the person who complained is an budding evangelical preacher who wants to build a following by being a prig and scold.

7. two or three a week for the past 3 years?
I'm astonished it lasted that long. Must have been a well-kept secret.
