Nobody's Looking Anyway: Why It's Time To Decriminalize Flashing



Say hi to Alicia Binford, 43, and Shelly Lewis, 45, of O'Fallon, IL. They were arrested this week and charged with "lewdly exposing their breasts" to players on a Illinois golf course. Funny thing is it didn't happen on a Saturday night, or at 3 in the morning, it was in broad daylight on a Monday afternoon. And the golfers were genuinely irritated that they were having their game disrupted by not one but two sets of middle-aged blouse-bouncers.

I think this is age discrimination, for one. My sense is if this were a pair of 20-year-old chicks, the golfers would have been lighting up a cigar, snapping pictures with their phones, and generally feeling lucky to be alive. But because it was two ladies that probably remind them of their wives, it was more of a reminder of what they had to go home to after playing 18 holes. 

Don't get me wrong - if you're an avid golfer, there's obviously a very disruptive quality to being distracted by anything. Could be wild goose attack, could be somebody with an air horn, could even be a pair of ladies with their pairs of ladies showing. Hey, I don't want anybody hitting a bucket of balls at my head while I'm getting a lap dance. So I sort of understand. 

I'm just saying, if you take the crime out of the equation, there's really nothing exciting going on here. Just two women looking for attention. Hey, it's what spring break's all about, right? But do it on a golf course, and all of a sudden you're a menace to society. If we had a chance to see this all the time, and you took the risk out of it, I bet it would hardly happen. 

So if you're in your mid-forties and you want to flash, I'm in your corner. Just don't have your back to me when you do it cuz I won't be able to see.
