FolkGuitar Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Perhaps we should be so hard on one particular ethnicity... Two American women have reportedly been arrested for carving their initials into a wall with a coin inside Rome's Colosseum. Last November, authorities in Rome slapped a 20,000-euro ($21,685) penalty on a Russian tourist caught carving his name into the famed landmark. The Russian was one of five tourists caught carving graffiti on Colosseum walls in 2014. The earlier incidents involved two Australians -- a father and son -- and a Canadian and a Brazilian, both teenagers. Cambodia's Angkor Archeological Park experienced its own string of nudity-related incidents this year. In February, U.S. tourists and sisters Lindsey Kate Adams and Leslie Jan Adams were deported after allegedly getting caught taking partially nude photos at Preah Khan temple, one of the sacred sites inside Cambodia's Angkor complex. Early last year, Peru officials were forced to respond to a chain of "naked tourism" incidents at Machu Picchu, also a World Heritage Site. They detained four American tourists, two Canadians and two Australians for stripping down for pictures at the site. There is 'stupid' in every nationality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chingmai331 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 You equate near naked photos taken in front of some old pagoda with carving names into ancient stone monuments? Tell me plz, in the light of early morn when no one else is around, what is the crime in near nude photos, regardless of location. Sure, can agree that every culture and population has its jerks but i would not call mild mannered photo taking 'stupid'. Carving names into ancient art works can be considered childish and stupid, yes. And you would do better to focus on the future of stupid in public, which is the mainland of china. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heybruce Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 the british are a bit more appreciative of art, and pretty prude were clothes are involved, I may have the term wrong, but isn't Britain famous for a type of journalism known as the 'page three girl'?
