Street performer Robert Burck — known to tourists as the Naked Cowboy — has turned his ability to sing country tunes while wearing nothing but a hat, boots, briefs and a strategically placed guitar into a cottage industry. He’s even launched a presidential campaign, telling TMZ that he is “very conservative” and has an “unapologetic commitment to our borders, our language and our culture.”
Burck is therefore less than pleased to have his territory invaded, and has accused newcomer Adam David, a.k.a. the Naked Indian, of stealing his act.
“I’ve been here [in Times Square] 365 days, every day, for 13 years and change,” Burck told the New York Daily News. “He’s only been here 16 days and missed two already.”

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

I think this is a violation of truth-in-labelling. Naked is naked and they ain't naked. Rather more like ordinary street summer wear of the sun-loving seventies. If the shorts were denim.

There's a story here, not quite naked, but interesting nonetheless, as to what can happen in airports.
Frankly, I hate it when this happens to me, as it so often does...

That's not a naked Indian.
This is a naked Indian:
It's the first thing I thought of when I read the first post in this thread.

That is a beautiful avatar with wonderful expressions, it's rich in detail, the composition is faultless, and the colors are fabulous and just right. It will win because of MBRS's Oscar-worthy acting out of an Old West cliche.

Re: the original post. Yeah, he's so pissed off that he'll do photo ops with the interloper.
"Hey, if I make a big deal out of this, people will be reminded that I actually still exist. I get the new guy in on it, and then there's double exposure, double photo ops, double attention. It's a win-win!!"
It's the Final Countdown.....
