Erykah Badu strips naked in Dealey Plaza for music video...

[kaorder1999]

She did this without a permit from the City of Dallas and stripped naked in front of a lot of people, including kids. She got out of her car in Downtown Dallas and stripped as she walked towards Dealy Plaza and eventually laid down naked on Elm Street at the spot where Kennedy was shot. That just isnt right.....how does she not get in trouble for this?

That just isnt right.....how does she not get in trouble for this? That is probably what she wants is a big scene. That way people like me, that don't know who the heck she is, may listen to her. My thoughts are to ignore it and not give her the attention she thinks this stunt deserves.

[Bullaholic]

Yet another sad example of the popular conception in the entertainment community that the best way to resurrect a flagging career is to do something totally outrageous---and we and the media bite everytime.

[BreckTxLonghorn]

If children saw, she could be prosecuted and forced to register as a sex offender. 'Streaking' lies under those guidelines.

i would def be interested to see if anything like that ever happens....i bet not. She'll get the celebrity treatment.

Who? Non story

[BullsFan]

Non-story unless it's your kids watching the crazy nekkid lady stroll down the street.

[kaorder1999]

Last couple paragraphs from the Dallas Morning News....is she THAT weird??

----------------------------------------------

She described herself as "petrified" and fearful of arrest.

But she said many of the people around her seemed not to notice.

Crowther said that had a complaint been filed, the charges may have been even more serious because the video shows children in the background.

Badu said she has no regrets about making the video.

Asked about the presence of minors, Badu said that when she saw them, "I tried to telepathically communicate my good intent to them. That's all I could do, and I hoped they wouldn't be traumatized."

With the proper supervision, kids can be kept from seeing it on television and the internet. I dont have kids but I do believe in a parents right to shield their children from what they see fit, especially when it comes to something illegal like this. They should be able to take their kids to Dealey Plaza and teach them about the assasination of a former President without them seeing a naked female parading around and laying in the street for a music video.

So it's your own personal crusade for the children that has you so aghast. Well, good luck. A non-threatening naked woman is really the least of our worries. lol

I found it interesting that she was born in Dallas. Wonder what the point of the video is.

As a matter of fact, making the human body such a taboo subject leads to sexual awkwardness in many that does slide into the fetishism we see today.

Wrong-o. Most kids do not see this on the tv, and properly supervised kids don't see it on the internet either. You may allow your kids to watch porn, but most people don't. In fact, no one else I know does.

And for the record, I suspect seeing a strange woman baring all is a lot different from seeing a picture of it anyway.

I'm not saying it's a slide to hell, boog...but when a parent wants to have "the talk" with their kids, they should choose the time and place, not have it forced on them by someone looking for publicity to revive a flagging career.

Talk about a slippery slope. If you're going to make such an outrageous claim, I'm going to need to see some proof. Making the human body "taboo" leads to fetishism? Strange that fetishism really only came out into the open with the loosening up of so many sexual taboos.

Hardly, adults with less than stellar outcomes at healthy adult lives have many issues of social/sexual awkwardness as a result of the demonization of sexual experiences as well as the human body. I'm not advocating sexual activity for young adults or anything, but knowledge of the subject. IMO a kid who understands his or her sexuality (as in body, not act) will understand inappropriateness of sexual advances that many times come from members of their family. Now, to your point that loosening up leads to sexual taboo, do you have some proof of that? Because, loosening up leading to taboos is really subjective and at that something kept in the bedroom.

[Matthew328]

It's a naked body, not sure why people are aghast by it? Is it the most appropriate thing in the world, probably not but I do agree that its not some huge giant deal....it should be noted and move on.

As for seeing her naked, ehh not a big deal. It's not like she was out performing sex acts. She was naked, my daughter has seen both her younger cousins naked and she's even tried to change a diaper or two. She knows that men and women are different and have different parts. It's not all that traumitizing.

You sure write purdy. You ain't one of "them" are ya, boog? :D

if she were in most strip clubs (since most are not all-nude) and got completely naked she could be arrested and charged with a crime.

haha I'm a perfectly happy heterosexual with a deep appreciation for the human form. And speaking of, I'll be taking myself to the gym to regain some of that form that age chisels away! :)

[kaorder1999]

people are going to differ when it comes to raising their kids. Some parents will decide to allow their kids to believe in Santa Claus and the Easter bunny...some wont. You may raise your kid one way and be ok with certain things but you have to understand and realize that people will not always think the same as you.

Just an example....I may want my child to believe in santa and if you dont, that is totally up to you. But just out of respect I would hope that you didnt ruin it for my child just because you dont believe in allowing your kids to believe it. I know this is kind of off topic but it goes back to parents raising their kids different ways.

You may have no problem with what this lady did in public, but out of respect for others, laws should be obeyed. If I knew that the chance existed that someone would be totally naked in the middle of Dealey Plaza because it was allowed, because the law didnt prevent it, I then have the choice as to whether or not I take my child there, knowing im running the risk of exposing my kid to this because its legal. BUT...this isnt the case. What she did was illegal.

Kids can see worse in movies but I would have the choice as to whether or not I take my kid and allow them to see that movie. This lady took choices completely out of the parents hands. And thats not right in my opinion.

Ummm...lots of big words thrown together in ways that...don't completely make sense. Could you try restating your point in English?

And I was not stating that loosening up leads to taboos--I never said there was a causal relationship. I think it's fairly well known that lots of sexual mores loosened up in the 60s and 70s. Fetishism certainly existed prior to then, but it seems to have become more public and accepted since the 60s and 70s. I suspect there are lots of causes, including such things as the immediacy of communication over the internet and like finding like in addition to the sheer proliferation of previously unavailable materials. That is strictly my opinion. But it would go against your belief that sexual taboos leads to fetishism.

I should always warn you that I could argue with a rock and it takes a long time for me to give in, so we could be at this all day. :D

I do not think that anyone should be forced to view a naked human body if they feel uncomforfortable doing so whether it be art, entertainment, or happenstance. I think parents have the right to make this judgement for their minor children.

On the other hand, as an adult, I do not find anything pornographic about the naked human body. I think it represents the apex of our Lord's creation of life as we know it, and is a marvelous thing of beauty and wonderment. It is how we use our bodies and in what context we view this use that makes us guilty of being pornographic or "nasty".

Straw man. Weren't you the one who brought up the term "sexual taboo" in the first place? In America, the showing of one's fully naked body in a mixed crowd, especially with children, is taboo. We just don't do it. Even in cultures where upper body nudity is considered the norm, full body nudity frequently isn't. Throwing in those other things doesn't distract from that point.

Not what I meant--I just meant we could go round and round all day and you're not going to change my mind. Or probably anyone else's who disagrees with you. Which doesn't mean I won't keep posting. I don't argue for the sake of arguing, but I do enjoy a good discussion with opposing sides so long as it doesn't get personal.

the only way she would have gotten permission to do this would be if they shut down a couple city blocks....and even then I dont think she would be allowed to walk around naked. they def would not have given her permission to parade around downtown naked with people walking around...

[ronwx5x]

Personally I think it was improper. If there is a law concerning public nudity, then enforce it. If not, oh well, she just has (IMO) poor ethics and was merely doing it for attention. Which she got, by the way.:thinking:

I suppose this makes it acceptable, at least in her mind. Here is her justification:

When asked what she thought about the young children present in the street who would have seen her naked, she said: 'I tried to telepathically communicate my good intent to them. That's all I could do, and I hoped they wouldn't be traumatised."

[Trashman]

Link to Story (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100817/ap_on_en_mu/us_people_erykah_badu)

DALLAS – A city spokesman says singer Erykah Badu has paid a $500 fine and will serve six months of probation for stripping during a music video shoot at Dealey Plaza in Dallas, where President John F. Kennedy was fatally shot in 1963.

Badu performed a walking striptease March 13 for her "Window Seat" music video. The video ends with a nude Badu falling to the ground as if she has been shot.

Police in April cited her for disorderly conduct after a witness made a sworn complaint. A number of children were among the tourists and other random passers-by seen on the video.

Dallas city spokesman Frank Librio says Badu paid the fine Friday.

A spokeswoman for the singer did not immediately comment.

I think the judge should have sentenced her to stand naked in front of a full length mirror for six months with the words "Is this REALLY a good idea?" painted across the top of the mirror.
