Fox News Porn Robert Greenwald, the man behind the 2004 documentary Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch’s War on Journalism which concluded that Fox News Channel is biased to the right based on memos and footage from the network, is at it again. This time around he is using clips from the channel culled from six months of broadcasts featuring women in bikinis and pixilated nudity in a YouTube video and website that mimics a porn site called......

The 26-year-old Yale graduate who walked around Times Square naked on Thursday spoke to the NY Post, which made him its cover boy, about his experience. Josh Drimmer denied that it was a stunt and said - from his hospital bed at Bellevue - "It was an extreme panic attack brought on by days of not sleeping...I'm all right. Tell everyone I'm OK. I had a bad day." Good to know that Drimmer is better,......

A 26-year-old Yale graduate and Greenpoint resident got a lot of attention in Times Square yesterday - and the NY Post's cover today - by walking around naked. The Post reports that Josh Drimmer was walking in his birthday suit for "several minutes" around 11AM along Seventh Avenue between West 47th and 48th Streets. Reporter Jennifer Fermino overheard one witness calling a friend on his cellphone and saying, "Yo, homeboy's got full-frontal nudity right here!"......

REMINDER: Don't forget about the Atlantic Antic Festival, which we wrote all about yesterday. EVENT: The d.u.m.b.o arts center (dac) presents the 11th Annual Art Under the Bridge Festival. The three-day fête takes up 30 blocks bringing together over 1500 visual artists, 250 open studios and offices, and an expected 20,000 attendees. Given much of the music biz in this city has offices in that area, they'll be taking part as well. The Deli Magazine......

Two things young girls tend to get obsessive over: Harry Potter and horses. Both will be appearing on Broadway next spring, but it's not in something you'll want to bring your daughters or nieces to see. Actually, it will be actor Daniel Radcliffe performing in the Peter Shaffer play "Equus", a role that includes on-stage nudity. Both the play and the actor have received positive reviews during its London run, which ends this June. This......

TJ Miller is not only one of the strongest new talents in comedy today, he's also a terrific actor. And why not, he studied at the British American Drama Academy in Oxford England. Plus, he can stilt walk. And he makes porn! Very bad porn. In fact, there's not even any nudity or sex on Verybadporn.com, but there's plenty of hilarity! How did Very Bad Porn come to be? I was working my law......

February 10th and 17th, class is in session at the UCB Theater. Welcome to the Al Pacino School of Acting , where you learn from the master, portrayed by Cesar Gracia. Audience members will have the opportunity to pick up some of the tricks of the trade as Pacino calls them onstage and brings out the true auteur in them.

Wallace Shawn has long enjoyed a fruitful career as a character actor in mainstream movies (Clueless, Princess Bride, Chicken Little). He also happens to be one of the world’s most significant dissident writers. His plays The Designated Mourner, Aunt Dan and Lemon and The Fever – to name just a few – have garnered much praise (and controversy) for their unflinching examinations of brutality. Shawn’s plays are political but not polemical; through his writing he......

VACATION: The Greater Fort Lauderdale visitors' bureau has brought the Sunshine State to NYC in the form of a 3,600-square foot virtual vacation.

Browsing through the 11 Spring Pictures, we stumbled across a shot of a naked dude posing in front of the building. It was so disturbing that we felt compelled to investigate further, and a few clicks later, we found ourselves at NakedGuyNYC, a Flickr stream of, well, a naked guy posing in various locations around New York City. Here's his artist's statement: I'm in the process of creating a naked landscape.. From the space......

Dress code: office holiday attire. 6pm // Still Bar [190 Third Ave] // $5 THEATER: The Blue Coyote Theater Group has instigated an evening of short plays called The......

Breaking the law, breaking the law We -ist folks love us some crime, and no misdemeanor is too petty for a post on any of our sites. This week, join us for a rogues' gallery of miscreants major, minor, and alleged. Gothamist gets us started with "Law & Order", muppet style. Oh, you know what isn't a crime? Taking pictures on the MTA. So, why are cops stopping photographers? In other Gotham crime, a......

-- Attention players: Gridskipper has a good list of bars where East Village waitresses hang out. Good hunting! -- Kottke is on assignment in the midwest, and spotted this sausage shaped like a beer bottle. Is there hope for our frankfurter-shaped-beer-bottle idea? -- You've probably seen this already, but this Canon in D on the guitar is great. [Via DG.] -- Hilary is coming out against the park-condos (pondos? parondos?) in Brooklyn. Right on!......

This is probably the first September 11-related lawsuit involved nudity. Queens resident Mark DelCore is suing various Fire Island officials for the right to have his rat terrier along when he sunbathes nude. Why does he want to sunbathe nude? The Smoking Gun explains:DelCore said that he was in a lower Manhattan gym on the morning of the World Trade Center attack and, when the planes hit, was forced to leave the facility while still......

Warning: if you work at any normal job (ie. not directly involved with the skin trade) clicking on any of the links in this post will probably get you fired. That said, rarely have we enjoyed a photo set as much as this one, a group of XXX-plicit pix of a recent Rated-X Party, by Suckapants. Talk about extreme nudity-- he's got girls, guys, and people covered in syrup-- hipsters all! For those of......

Unless you’re luckier than we are, you pass the posters advertising The Odd Couple’s revival with a bitter harrumph. It’s starting previews today for an Oct. 27th opening to a run that’s been sold out since practically the first minute someone had the idea for casting Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick. So why even bring it up, since those who have the tickets are sitting pretty and those who don’t are more or less S.O.L.?......

The protestor who stripped down in Washington Square Park, with the words "Stop the War" painted all over her body, had her case of "public indecency" thrown out by a judge. Haila Faisal was in Criminal Court yesterday, armed with lawyer Ron Kuby, to argue her case, but Judge Stanley Katz said the complaint was too vague (or as the NY Times put it, "too scantily described to warrant prosecution") and therefore threw out the......

When Gothamist started this feature, back in the day, at the dawn of the day, really, the thought was to revisit bars as well as review new ones. But we got a little distracted. Between looking for Lillie and trying to get to Caddyshack, the new venture by Brooke Webster of Meox Mix, in Brooklyn and all the blind dates, well, you know. (Or you ought to anyway, because we blacked out.) Recently, though, we......

A couple was charged with public lewdness and nudity for having sex on a service road median in Gravesend, Brooklyn. The engaged couple, Robert Wallendorf and Demetra Decolvenaere, were "caught with their pants down — but their helmets still on" at 1 a.m. Monday. Wallendorf was also arrested for drunk driving; his father said Wallendorf turned to drinking after helping clear Ground Zero and after his mother died. But, still, the lesson is that public......

I see notices for Sample Sales all the time, such as the listings on the Manhattan Users Guide. My question is, I'm not a size 0 and I don't want to be embarrassed showing up to one of these sample sales only to be the only person there with a curvy figure. Any advice on sample sale workings? In Gothamist's experience, a lot of sample sales do tend to have sizes that can run on......

Well, it had to happen: Sex and the City boytoy Jason Lewis is suing Absolut Vodka for using the fake "Absolut Hunk" ad, created for an episode of SATC, as a real ad. According to AdAge, Lewis has "avoided assignments relating to alcohol, tobacco and guns...and refused work requiring nudity so that he would be taken seriously by the fashion and entertainment industries." Plus, "the "Absolut Hunk" work was not to be used outside of......

I keep telling Jen that we need to do posts with more nudity- posting about Anil Dash and Pete Rojas can only boost traffic so much. With that thought in mind, I knew I had to post about the decision in the naked mermaid case. It seems that at last year's Coney Island Mermaid Parade, 31 year-old Brooklyn resident Amy Gunderson was arrested for going topless. Arresting a naked mermaid at the mermaid parade is......

As a fan of the New York Times film reviews, I am very aware of all of the nuances of the reviews. One of the best things is the blurb that's written after the rating at the very end of the review, to call out any violence or nudity or language. The Times reviewers A.O. Scott and Elvis Mitchell are very funny. Check out these: The Safety of Objects "has many sexual situations, both overt......
