      It’s legal to be topless in New York. She didn’t commit a crime or anything.

        But not Dublin! Those catholic bastards…

        I’m a catholic, but I’m just addicted to cats.

        It’s legal to be topless in NYC as long as it’s not for “sexual reasons” (whatever that means)— so this particular case might be something of a legal debate… but I don’t see any cop bothering to arrest her for it. Shockingly, they don’t care.

      Well, that was one of the instances of abuse of the portal. Another was a mooning, and yet another was a man showing NYC citizens pictures of 9/11 over the portal.

      I assume they never thought that so many people would start being a punk-ass because they think the magical screen makes them safe from all persecution like the one at home. It is trained behavior.

        People do this shit face to face all the time. It’s only easier to record like this. Same with the internet. It didn’t make people into assholes. It just made it easier to record.

          The busy main streets of NYC and Dublin certainly have seen some great and terrible things, but these recordings were all published by nearby peers and not the company. There isn’t much incentive for breaking indecent exposure laws even with the screen, but you can’t pretend it was ever so common.
