Hi,

This might be antagonistic, but I really don't want to check my regular news site to find out some 16-year old went to a parade to see women's breasts. This is why there is an age limit on pornography. You are not special and this event was not special. It's a depressing statement about Wikinews.

You didn't even pretend there was social significance. It was just advertising for the local sex trade. Do you know any girls your age? If you don't, you realize that means the prostitutes on parade are probably undermining your emotional development, and that is not "so cool"?

"Accreditation" does not lend legitimacy to anything.

 * First off, I've removed the details about Gabriel, as this is entirely relevant. I know that this may sound hypocritical, as I've been mentioning all about Mueller in every story he shoots, but in that sort of instance, I'm hoping the public will suggest other events they'd like to see him at, with this it just seemed a little irrelevant.


 * More importantly, I've expanded the article to include comments from the city council, police, and event organizers, discussing the legalities of bare-breastedness and holding a public procession without a license. --  Zanimum 15:37, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
