The Return of Pointless Shit
From the San Francisco Chronicle:

Nude people to pose in disputed oak grove
Dozens of naked people are expected to converge on an embattled oak grove in Berkeley on Saturday for a photography shoot.
San Francisco photographer Jack Gescheidt plans to photograph the naked people posing with oaks, redwoods, laurels and other trees next to Memorial Stadium. About eight protesters have been perched in the trees since Dec. 2, hoping to derail the University of California's plan to remove some of the trees to build an athletic training center.
The photo will be part of Gescheidt's Tree Spirit Project, a collection of mostly black-and-white images of naked people and trees.
In 1992, UC banned nudity on campus in the wake of the au naturel jaunts of student Andrew Martinez, also known as Naked Guy. UC police could not be reached for comment Tuesday.

Busting people for public nudity is about as dumb as the US Federal Courts saying that people in California with Medical Marijuana certificates can be charged under the Federal Drug laws, regardless of their health status. Don't we have more severe crimes to solve than sick people getting high (proven health benefits) and other people taking their clothes off for a photo shoot at a University (to protest destruction of great land to make some steel and glass monstrosity)? *sigh*
