So What DO You Call 18,000 Naked Mexicans...


...No. It's not a fair-sized group of 'em lining up for lice begone day at the Texas border....

MEXICO CITY — More than 18,000 people stripped down and bared it all in Mexico City's vast main square Sunday for U.S. photographer Spencer Tunick's biggest nude shoot yet.

Standing up to salute, crouching in fetal positions and lying prone on the tiles of the Zocalo plaza, the volunteers formed a sea of flesh that Tunick snapped from balconies and a small crane in the morning light.

"What a moment for the Mexican art scene!" Tunick said in a news conference. "I think all eyes are looking south from the United Sates to Mexico City to see how a country can be free and treat the naked body as art. Not as pornography or as a crime, but with happiness and caring..."

Um, we really DON'T have to look to Mexico in order to see nude Mexicans, pally. But it is a good thing for you to export their pictures and not their physical forms because to be quite open and free and honest about it, we really neither need nor want any more of them sneaking in just to get on welfare, so giving this group a gig was a good move.
