Won't You Be *My* Neighbor?


OK, so this totally hot 29-year-old professional diver — Eric Williamson, here — is making coffee in the buff early one morning, and some evil betch cutting through his yard sees him standing there — in his own kitchen — and instead of whipping out her iphone and making a video and posting it where the rest of us can enjoy the view, she calls the damn cops!  And they come!  And they arrest him for indecent exposure, and not her for being a peeping Tina! 


This must be a Virginia thing, right?  The woman cutting through Williamson's yard had a seven year old boy in tow.  In the news video, Williamson is almost in tears at the insinuation that he was exposing himself to a little boy.  But come on.  First of all, it was dark outside, and Williamson didn't know anyone was out there, or have any reason to suspect anyone was cutting through his yard, much less a seven year old with a peeping Tina of a mother.

Second, what's so awful about nakedness that simply being naked — not engaged in any remotely sexual activity, in a context in which nakedness is perfectly reasonable and natural — should be considered a punishable offense by police?  There are plenty of cultures in which nakedness in even semi-public places (like baths, saunas, and beaches) is perfectly normal and not viewed as sexual at all. This is one of those "only in America" type stories.

I just hope this tempest in a teapot will be enough for Williamson to get his own reality show, where he gets to walk around as naked as a jaybird in front of the cameras. 

Whatever the outcome of the case, Eric, remember: you are always welcome in Boston.  And, um, it just so happens the apartment directly across from mine is free.  Our Bay Windows would almost touch. 

Think about it.
