Nudist motel battle continues

So now the city commissioners of Cocoa Beach, FL are trying to come in the "side door" in their efforts to stymie a nudist motel's business.  They're "probing" the health standards of Fawlty Towers Resort Motel and alcohol service.  Hmmm, I guess being nude makes it an unhealthy place to be?  Yeah, the thousands of nudists who visit the thousands of nudist resorts all over the world each year must be coming down with all sorts of illnesses - NOT! Give me a break.  Notice the comments section of the article.  At least the readers show some common sense as opposed to the commissioners.

Postal workers object to nudists

Well here we go again.  Now it's postal workers that have their panties in a bunch because they claim to be harmed by delivering mail to a nudist club.  Even their supervisor apparently thinks it's a tempest in a teapot.  Nevertheless these postal workers are filing a formal complaint about a "hostile" work environment.  I don't think I've ever met a hostile nudist.  The action occurred at White Tail Resort in Virginia.  More people pissed off at the nude human body, it just astounds me.  I don't think we've heard the whole story on this one.  Stay tuned ....

Nudist motel in Florida = Hysterics

Well Florida's newest nudist venue, Fawlty Towers Resort Motel in Cocoa Beach, FL., seems to be doing well after its conversion to a nudist resort on May 1.  They're booked solid.  More power to them!

More: Booked solid!

On the other hand, it's managed to bring the typical hysteria about nudists and nudism in general to the town's government and residents.  It will depreciate property values, it's close to a park where children go (oh, the humanity!), it will ruin the town's reputation, it will turn the town into a sleaze spot!  I say again, what it is it about the nude human body that pisses so many people off?????

Growing Up Nudist

Watch 20/20 this Friday at 9:00 CT - 10:00 PM ET.  They are going to profile a nudist family at Sunsport Gardens who only agreed to do the interview if they didn't "blur" any of the shots.  It sends the wrong message about nudism.  I gotta love this family.  A positive spin for once on a major network program instead of titters and innuendo.  They also interviewed their 9 year year old son on what it's like to live nude and be brought up as a nudist.
