Happiness and Caring?

MEXICO CITY — More than 18,000 people stripped down and bared it all in Mexico City's vast main square Sunday for U.S. photographer Spencer Tunick's biggest nude shoot yet.

Standing up to salute, crouching in fetal positions and lying prone on the tiles of the Zocalo plaza, the volunteers formed a sea of flesh that Tunick snapped from balconies and a small crane in the morning light.

"What a moment for the Mexican art scene!" Tunick said in a news conference. "I think all eyes are looking south from the United Sates to Mexico City to see how a country can be free and treat the naked body as art. Not as pornography or as a crime, but with happiness and caring."

Happiness and caring is exactly what I think of when I see a huge group of naked people in a plaza! Heh. Exactly! Dummies never crossed my mind! Really! Not one time! (I may have a hard time getting my fingers uncrossed!) And I bet happiness and caring is what the people posing were thinking as they looked around. No peeking at your neighbor! Eyes front! Er...eyes down. Yea, eyes down!

I do not get this. At all!

Well, at least they're finding work in their own country! As Martha says, it's a good thing!
