Streaker Turns On Cops

Posted in Streaking, Photos

The tables turned when a streaker turned on the cops who were trying to arrest him.

An officer turned up and the nude fugitive took flight with the constable in hot pursuit.

But in a moment of slapstick comedy, the man then stopped, shouted and ran after the officer, who sprinted to get away.

After a 15 minute caper around Newcastle upon Tyne’s Town Moor, the puffing bobby eventually collared the tubby middle-aged streaker.

Mark Roberts Strikes Again

Posted in Streaking, Video, Mark Roberts

Just when we thought Mark Roberts had hung up his… er… goolies, out he comes again. He’s done a run at a Giants game at Wembley, sneaking onto the field dressed as a referee before stripping down to a red g-string.

Newsday piece.

Streaking Is So Last Century?

Posted in Streaking

Valerie Fortney at the Calgary Herald gives her opinion on the record-breaking number of streakers at the Labour Day football match:

Rather than feeling aghast when I heard the blow-by-blow account of the various streakers, I at first laughed. Then, I let out a big yawn.

That’s because while these brave young things prancing on the field may believe they’re doing something daring, perhaps revolutionary and definitely 21st century, it couldn’t be further from the truth. Streaking, the bastion of mostly young males fired up on liquid courage, is so last century — early 1970s, to be precise.

She then gives a brief history of streaking.

Is it all so very out-of-date? Maybe. But then again, it’s still funny. People still laugh. A naked person in that situation doesn’t cease to look ridiculous just because it first happened in the 1970s. And people will still get drunk at sporting events and think it’s a good idea at the time.

That’s why there’ll be streakers popping up here and there for a long time to come, I suspect.
