Busted in Buxted

A Buxted, United Kingdom, soccer team has gotten in trouble for running around their field nude. They stripped out of their jocks for photos that will appear in a 2008 fundraising calendar for "fresh2o," a "dramatic initiative designed to draw attention to one of the most serious issues in the world today – the lack of freely available supplies of fresh water to all humanity."

Buxted Football Club chairman Derek McDougall told BBC news: "It appears that some local residents complained about the sight of a lot of naked men and now the council wants to know what's the score." Apparently nobody bothered to ask permission from the council to even use the public park, let alone parade around bare balls to the breeze.

Candice, who photographed the nude men, thought it much ado about nothing: "The guys were all fabulous sports and I think their pictures will be eye-openers for the village when the calendar goes on sale at Christmas."

Considering the good cause let's hope council keeps their reprimand to a minimum:  perhaps a good bare-butt spanking for the lot!
