I'd like to keep my blog as clean as possible, but I just found this piece of news so oddly disturbing. I just heard Jay Leno mention it in his monologue. A man in Sioux Falls was arrested for trying to have sex with traffic signs. This more detailed report by The Smoking Gun reveals utility poles were among the violated.
Indecent exposure is one of the things I'll never quite understand. Maybe I'm a prude, but I barely want people to see my exposed muffin top in public, much less my entire naked body. Now I know that this guy (nickname: Bubba. Why does that not surprise me?) clearly has something wrong with him and needs help, but it seems you don't have to be a really crazy person to want to get off on exposing yourself to people, judging from the types of people who moonlight as flashers. I've been the victim of indecent exposure before. In the one time in particular that stands out in my mind, I'm pretty sure the guy was mentally disturbed. But I have other friends who've been flashed several times in the subway by guys who seem to have normal day jobs. Most of us victims never really felt threatened in any way. It's been more a feeling of...eh. Is that all you're showing me? I think partially the reaction is blah because we know overreacting is what indecent exposur-ists get off on.
The other interesting thing about indecent exposure is that the perps are almost always men. What is it about men that makes them think women want to see their little willies all the time? Please. Don't flatter yourselves. When are you going to realize that it's women's bodies that are the works of art? This is validated by the fact that the Smoking Gun reports that Bubba liked to wear fishnets sometimes, a way of showing his reverence for the female form.
Also, now when someone says I'm shaped like a stop sign, I'll take it as compliment.
On an aside, Bubba is the perfect guest for Jerry Springer or bad reality tv.
