Apparently, the Alps ain't what they used to be.
Decline in Nudists Threatens Tourist Attraction
MUNICH, Germany (Reuters) - The naked sunbathers who once filled Munich's central park on warm summer days are turning their backs on Germany's famous open-air celebration to nudity.
..."We've lost many of the nudists who made the English Garden a special place," said park director Thomas Koester. "Especially good-looking young women and men who made it such an attraction aren't here as much anymore. It's becoming a real problem."
You hear that, all you German nudists? You're threatening the entire Munich tourism industry! Think of all those visitors from around the world who'll go home disappointed that they didn't get to see your naked butt! Where's your patriotism?
..."Before you would see whole families wandering around naked or young nude people sitting in the beer gardens here," Koester said. "Society has become more prudish. You don't see as many attractive young Munich girls anymore. I hope they'll come back."
Hm. I find this juxtaposition of "whole families" and "young Munich girls" disturbing. How young are you talkin', here, Koester?
...A number of hotels on the English Garden even advertise their rooms with clear views of the nude sections.
Well, who wouldn't want to be an unpaid tourist attraction? Who could possibly object to that?
(Do they have signs that say, "Please Do Not Feed The Bares"?)
