I guess I probably would, I might get quite a few surprises when I get around to visiting the states in person.
Been meaning to for years.

Well, if they put her in a swimsuit, or some sexy lingerie, it'd probably end up about the same. If she's nude, the religious activists would try to burn it.

Except if it were baby photos, it would be like looking at before and afters of Michael Jackson. Only instead of turning into a white guy, he changes into a chick!

I was just looking at this photo essay at the Atlantic...
Warning: NSFW - Lots of naked people
http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2012/07/the-naked-world-of-spencer-tunick/100344/
...and noticed that the shots were all done during daylight hours, in public, etc. And the one American shot was done indoors at 3:00am. I can just imagine trying to shoot those images in New York, Chicago or LA during normal waking hours. Well, actually I can't imagine it because there's no way it would happen.

Makes sense that it's at night in a building that's usually very busy, although I guess the other places he's shot at are busy places too.

Yeah, he's got stuff done in large public squares and whatnot. From what I remember, it was also his only indoor shot. Can you imagine one of the other photos being done at 3:00pm in Times Square?

I've never been to Times Square but I imagine that'd be a hell of a lot of organizing.

Tbh, I'm less surprised by the difference between the US and the others, and more surprised that he managed to convince that many people to lie naked on the floor in grand central station. I wouldn't want to go barefoot there, let alone lie down, butt naked.
I'm also slightly amused by how almost none of the pictures contained anyone with visibly hairy anything (baring the obvious heads and pubes), and the few that did didn't have many, and were much closer.

It's not a coincidence, 'The Sun" is part of Rupert Murdock's media empire.
The good news is that Rupert Murdoch's name is mud here now, with the News International Phone Hacking Scandal (Well worth researching by the way) still ongoing. As a result of this one of his papers "The News of the World" was axed and "The Sun" is soon-to-be under investigation for similar criminal offenses. Murdoch's empire is being systematically expelled from the UK, thank god. This isn't taking into account that Murdoch himself has been moving more and more assets to the USA and appeared on FOX News to say that he doesn't care about the English people anymore, which added another layer to the sh*t sandwich.
Paul McMullan is part of this "Gutter Press" who gets verbally mauled in this YouTube video.
The reasons "The Sun" sells so many papers is because,
1. It's dirt-cheap (30p), reflected in the quality of the writing too.
2. It never provides evidence or cites it's sources, it acts on "Opinion" (Guess Who's?)
3. Guys like seeing topless women.
4. Women like reading "Dear Deardrie" segments and like the trashy columns about celebrities.
5. Shorter articles, for people with short attention spans who don't want to get the full story.
Personally I read The Independent and/or The Guardian. Sure, they cost considerably more than other papers (£1.20) but the quality of journalism found is leagues better than anything Murdoch's rags provide. Despite being the herald for the end of life as we know it, I'll let The Daily Mail slide.
Back on topic, Romney is a tool.

I don't read the Independent broadsheet. I do however read their i paper. It's good for reading between lectures and such.
RE: Murdoch being essentially thrown out of the UK - Kind of glad about that. Seeing as his takeover bid for BSkyB has essentially been blocked I daresay he won't be back any time soon.

Romney Confuses 'Sikh' With 'Sheik'
US presidential candidate Mitt Romney has made another gaffe - wrongly referring to the scene of a recent deadly gun attack at a Sikh place of worship as a 'sheik' temple.
The Republican politician, who is racing against President Barack Obama to become the next American president, made the mistake at fundraising event in Iowa on Tuesday evening.
Paying tribute to those killed in the shooting in Wisconsin on Sunday , Mr Romney said: "We had a moment of silence in honour of the people who lost their lives at that sheikh temple. I noted that it was a tragedy for many, many reasons."
Further confusing the Arabic term with the Sikh religion, he went on: "Among them are the fact that people, the sheik people, are among the most peaceable and loving individuals you can imagine, as is their faith."

I'm sure we'll look back on this mispronunciation of a word and pinpoint it as the exact moment Romney lost the election.

If he indeed made the mistake twice, then I'd be skeptical of it being just a mispronunciation. I suspect that he didn't know the proper term.
Not that it really matters. It's not like this is going to damage his sterling reputation for cultural know-how.

Me too.
Falls comfortably into the same category as the dozens of other inevitable awkward stumbles that politicians make every election cycle.

Either way, the more telling thing is how political "experts" will latch onto it to make talking points. Even bet it is a "liberal media conspiracy" how "blown out of perspective" and how it's "tricking millions of people against Romney" and such?

Yes, his use of "that", instead of the correct term "those", while taking his speech out of context can confuse simple minded fools.

It was kinda hilarious to watch Ann Coulter hissing like a cat in the rain about this woman. I anticipate, much like Romney's gay former spokesman, this woman will soon disappear completely from the campaign.
