Hurricane Rael sweeps Miami Beach

In over four years at Pillage Idiot, the post that got the most traffic -- by a landslide -- was this one, about toplessness in New York pursuant to court order. Now, of course, the courts didn't order the toplessness; they just prohibited the government from barring women from baring all. For reasons I can only guess at, Google steered literally thousands of people my way, and I got at least 6000 hits from search engines for this one post, coupled with another 2500 or so from HotAir headlines and Ace, pushing my hit-count over 10,000 in a single week.

Given those 10,000 hits, which at the time constituted about 15% of my all-time traffic, maybe I should have reopened Pillage Idiot for this news (via BOTWT):

The Raelians, those quaint folk who think their chief dude had a UFO encounter in 1973 and believe that extraterrestrials called "Elohim" (not so coincidentally the Hebrew word for "God") created life here, have sponsored a "go topless" protest (link somewhat NSFW) for women in Miami Beach.

Do it for the Constitution!

Do it for the extraterrestrials!

Do it for the leering Eurotrash sitting with their mixed drinks under an umbrella out on the Lincoln Road mall on South Beach!

The Florida law does not allow [link NSFW] women to be topless in public but the police is very lenient about that in Miami Beach. So why would Gotopless want to make waves there? Because our wish is not only for our breasts to be "tolerated" while laying on the sand, we want to have the same right as men. Their chest is "tolerated" in every public place, why not ours? We dream to be able to walk down Lincoln Rd with our shirt open and enjoy the breeze on our torso the way some men do on a hot summer afternoon. We want women's bodies to be as free as men's are, that is our constitutional right!

And what do you know? An online poll shows 83%-6% in favor of the proposition that women have equal rights to appear topless in public. Then again, the poll was taken by the Cleveland Open Relationships Examiner.
