If this was a real lefty site, they would have taken off the black bars!

No wonder that guy was Polishing the Pope last week...

I see crazier stuff nearly everyday on the subway. The key is to not make eye contact. Once you do it's gonna get bad! One guy last week was asking people for a veggie burger? Since when are the homeless in NYC vegans? Beggers can't be choosey!

[vinny]

sometimes you have to disarm the belligerent ones with a kind, caring question/comment... but then they follow you to work...

"Nude Pole Dancing In New York..."

Well, I say we revoke their visa and send them back to their own country!

[wolfgangmo]

Yes, send them back to Poland.

[Rule Of Law]

LOL, at least one person got it. Thanks.

[FantasticFourFan]

See, why aren't all those anti-gay "family values" types throwing a hissy fit over this instead of persecuting gays?

[Palomares]

Naked men? Where´s the interest? Naked women? I vote for that. It´s always a picker-upper!

[Rule Of Law]

You should be glad that some girls still like naked men...

[SteelTrapMind]

Can't help but note that almost all of those occur on the newest trains, so if you know your subway lines well, you can really increase your chances of encountering this.

[scooterliberal]

Hehe, I know that bicycle dude...

[teo665]

This makes the commute home Bare-able.... get it?! Bare...able...

[MrJM]

Where's the "Not a Fan" button when you really need it?

[Rule Of Law]

You should write huffpo and see if they would install one. What fun to see how many people are NOT a fan!

[Zofomofo]

Nice

[DennisMM]

Ooooo ... Charles Burns.

[ClosedEyesOpenMInd]

Also, how do they do it in the winter? Might be a bit nip-py, pun fully intended

[ClosedEyesOpenMInd]

Shocking! Shameful! And why wasn't I invited?

[dumbosrus]

New Yorkers STILL have too much time on their hands...........

[buddhaboy]

And so much fun!

[PeterVanKan]

First of all, it;s quite an honor that I am responding to your post.
Now the post itself:
Yeah, right. It's so important to be the babe of this or that. It's so provocative, yes even beautiful. Also, it can be a big help in your career. You could even become governer perhaps.

[yakaloot]

music and dancing are good for the heart. people are just having fun. too many people are just too uptight about the natural state of things.

[TOOO]

I just hope these strippers... er, I mean performers use a little discretion before they disrobe - as in checking to make sure there are no minors or adults with heart conditions present.

And yes, these acts ARE in violation of the law - even in New York.

[Zofomofo]

Whaaaaaaaah! OMG! How horrible to see a naked person!

How times have they seen some one shot in the head on TV?

[juliastepchild]

a parent would have control over a kid seeing violence on tv--they can turn it off. a naked person grinding a pole on public transport, not so much. and to be honest when the only naked people that are put out on display, so to speak, are young women, then that only serves straight men. don't straight men get enough handed to them? where are the naked men for the ladies?
