Bare Asses: A Sign That All is Right in the World or Armageddon?


I posted this video on flickr. A day later, I received the following email:
"As per our Community Guidelines, “restricted” video
content is not allowed on Flickr . We’ve removed your
video.

If you continue to upload videos that contain
“restricted” content, we may take further action on
your account.

The whole time I was at Wildflower, I was pre-occupied with whether the streakers would do their thing. As the sun began to set on Saturday night, I grew worried, unsettled, discontent. No streakers at Wildflower, I just couldn't fathom the possibility. But they came and they were glorious. And now, I'm meant to feel shame for wanting to share the laughter they invoked in me with others. Flickr, I would just like to remind you that there is FAR more offensive content on your photo sharing site than the tushies and boobies of some drunk CalPoly students flapping in the dusk.
