Minutes ago I returned from the downtown Fort Worth zone and checked my messages to see an email and a blog comment mentioning a Naked Man who had tied up an area of West Seventh Street while police and firemen tried to talk him into getting off a billboard and putting on some clothes.The Naked Man caused a traffic mess for the Montgomery Plaza Shopping Center.
I did not detect anything interesting going on or see a crowd of Naked Man watchers when I was in the downtown Fort Worth zone.
The billboard the Naked Man was walking on was a We Buy Ugly Houses one on one side, with a Fort Worth Zoo one on the other side, with the message being, "Visit a Museum Where The Art Looks At You."
Police tried to talk the Naked Man down with various tactics, including saying he could talk to his mom and girlfriend. The Naked Man hollered that his family had been murdered.
No, they are right here, wanting to talk to you, the police hollered back.
The naked man started being naked on the billboard when the sky was still blue and the temperature in the 80s. What finally got him to the ground was the incoming gusty storm.When the Naked Man, known only as James, hit the ground, police put handcuffs on him. And a pair of shorts.
I wonder what one gets charged with for being naked on a billboard in Fort Worth? Capital offense?
UPDATE: Barely seconds after hitting the publish button my Naked Man Source sent me much better pictures than the one I originally used.
