I disappointed God Stripping Contest NEWS ANCHOR SAYS

[joecoul]

At nudist resorts many have at least posed attractively at a party or dance does that mean we should be rejected from the club... well?

And how does that compare to being a nudist tennis tournament winner and having a picture taken?

1. WAS Catherine Boseley, a fairly prominent Ohio News Anchor, too sexy in her public wet t-shirt contest appearance? [The pictures she knew were being taken were made public a month later]

2. Does that mean she should resign?
3. Does that mean she should feel bad in GODS eyes as she suggests) ?

I think if we do similar posing with our clothes on and not be imbarassed then we should not feel bad naked.

The only problem is: You are asking the wrong crowd.
This group has debated nudity, sex, public nudity, porn, religion, and everything else. Points have been made (ad nauseum) by various people each way.
Until our society feels more comfortable with the nudist lifestyle, I understand that she wanted to "save face." Considering she went onto stage in provocative way, and then ended up being nude and acting equally provacative, it can definitely be said that she is not the ideal spokesperson for family nudism.

First of all She's apparently not a nudist. So any actions she took shouldn't reflect on nudism at all.
Wet T shirt contests are designed to exploit suppressed sexual desires. Thus making it impossible to be "too sexy" while competing in such a contest.

She should NOT have resigned. If the company she worked for had a problem with her, they should have fired her. To resign, rather than to to stand up and defend one's actions is a cop out.

She didn't strip at work, so her job has nothing to do with it.
If everyone "quits their job" just because they did something that "they think" the public wouldn't like, there would be massive unemployment.

She was simply having fun in a place where such activities are not only accepted , but encouraged. She did nothing wrong.

We as nudists often have to "stand up" for our beliefs. I'd hate to think that we would have to quit our jobs everytime someone "found out" about our lifestyle.

Quite often in a setting such as News Anchor, a person respresents more than themselves. It is almost as if you sell part of your soul [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img] No, but seriously. Many of us work or are associated with organizations where we must represent them even outside of work. Military, religious, entertainment or otherwise, all these can have restrictions that insert even into everyday living.

I feel the News channel has the right to fire her for what she did (I don't consider a wet t-shirt contest innocent nor glorifying in representation). If she was a nudist, doing nudist things, that might be different. I think in resigning she was just allowed to save face and in doing so increase her chances of getting hired elsewhere.

What I see, is an attractive, happy, healthy looking, confident woman, having the time of her life, presumably with the approval of her husband.
I'd say, he's lucky to have a wife with such looks and personality, [and other good attributes too, judging by the job she had], and she's lucky to have a husband who is neither narrow-minded, nor jealous.
I don't see any suggestion that she is claiming to represent the nudist movement, so we have no right to comment, from that point of view. She does, however, appear to have an all-over tan, and, to me, that adds immensely to her attractiveness.
I don't think she should have resigned from her job, or publicly expressed any regret for doing something, in her own time, which was presumably legal, or at least openly tolerated, and which pleased many, and harmed no-one.
I realise that, as news-anchor, she has to be taken seriously, but, if she does her job well, then that will just follow.
If I had been her boss, I would have gracefully declined to accept her resignation, and waited for any response from the viewers. The relatively small number of complaints which may have eventuated, I would have kept in perspective.
I know this is pure speculation, but I would imagine that her percentage of viewers could very well increase, as many people would want to have another look at "that girl".
If her personality, and ability to project herself, is anything to go by, she could very well retain some of those extra viewers, and her station would benefit.
I can imagine her thinking afterwards, wow, what have I done, but I think it is a great shame if she finds herself having lasting regrets about a fleeting, possibly never-to-be-repeated occasion, which should really be one of the minor highlights of her life.

Certainly! Just think how the public esteem of the news media would founder if we let something like this slide. That is the reason we are putting together a distinguished panel of elite journalists to draft an industry wide canon of ethics to govern the public and private behavior of news professionals.

Our panel:

Take pity on me, Mark, I'm right on the edge of the civilised world. Who are these guys?

[Nude in the North]

Those guys are probably the worst examples of Journalistic Integrity you will ever see.

As for people with certain jobs needing to hold their private lives up to a "higher standard". I totally dissagree. The same standards should apply to everyone.
I bet her husband didn't run into his bosses office and turn in his resignation. I bet the contestant that worked at a shopping mall or factory didn't quit their job the next week.

We shouldn't have to live our lives worrying about "what other people think". Frankly it's none of their business.

Actually, the lack of tan lines suggests that she is, at least in private.

These wet T-shirt contests combine alcoholic loss of control with nudity in a setting that seems only a few heartbeats away from an orgy, thus strengthening the connection between nudity and sex in the public consciousness. This is very bad for those of us trying to promote non-sexual nudity. But I agree that she should not have resigned. If it were I, I would have confessed and let my superiors decide on appropriate discipline.
