I wouldn't have noticed tihs story about a protest for "topless rights" except that the organizer appears to have a famous husband.

Liz Book of Ormond Beach is among the organizers. She hopes to lead a thousand "top-free" women and men along a half-mile of Main Street from the pier to the bridge. The goal is to add Daytona Beach to the small but growing list of places that allow women to show their breasts openly, just like men. ...

Book's husband, Robert Van Winkle, bailed her out in 1998 when she was arrested for baring her breasts inside the Full Moon Saloon.

Rob Van Winkle is, of course, rapper Vanilla Ice's real name. Coincidence?

My favorite part of the story is the federal lawsuit discussed at the bottom of the story. Hey, if marriage laws can't take sex into account, why should decency ordinances be allowed to, either? Maybe they'll reform the ordinace to require all men to go topful.

Xrlq: Well we need some standards. There are definitely some people who shouldn't be allowed to go topless. I'll be happy to volunteer my services as an FBI if there's a need for a new bureaucracy to issue topless licenses.

Oddly, they edited the article. It now reads "Book herself was arrested in 1998 when she bared her breasts inside the Full Moon Saloon bar."

Must be Ol' Vanilla was too controversial.

Rick C: Wow, they totally changed the story! It must really be Mrs. Vanilla Ice!

So are you surprised he's married or are you protesting topless rights? I'm confused.

Petra: Mostly just pointing out interesting trivia.
