Tradition "rears" it's ugly side?

I had to laugh at this story. It shows what a bunch of elected AHs in one community cannot and will not try to figure out a way to take a dumb event and shut it down, instead of taking advantage of the possible benefits of making money on it.

The mooning cost the city 20,000 dollars in police salaries last year.

Now, why not try and recoup the money by getting the city involved?

Sell t-shirts, charge for parking? set up booths-food and trinkets? If 8,000 people show up and spend 20 dollars a piece it comes to 160,000 bucks,
and even if the city got one-quarter of that?

They let it go on unchecked for 30 years and when things get out of control-this shows you cannot trust people to behave themselves-the city council tries to get all the cows back into the corral, all the while trying to navigate three decades of cow crap in the meadow.....

I guess it is the right thing to do. The only AHs that need to be seen in public are the tight arses of the city council.

Euck! We got mooned once going down a canal to Texas on a boat I was working on. Me and some of the guys were sitting outside in the evening. There was a guy standing there drinking a beer so the guys yelled at him to throw us a beer. He waved his beer at us, turned around and mooned us! I hear on the Ohio River in the summer you see a lot more than that!

Well I think the part where the article says it was a "fun family event" is NUTZ! I would never think of mooning as a family thing and certainly wouldn't want any children around to witness adults acting like morons in public.

Besides, aren't there indecent exposure laws? And what about the people on the train that have to see that?

I think if they want to shut it down, and raise money at the same time, ticket the crap out of every participant. Either the interest will dwindle or the city will make alot of money.
