Virals and nudity often go hand in hand and some might say they can even be good for business. Add to these a hoax and you could be heading for a trifecta. This seems to be the idea behind LoveStory07.com - an Australian clothes company - Rare Wear - that has developed an elaborate hoax based on the love story of two streakers and their shameless public nudity.
Implications - Nudity continues to be at the forefront of many political discussions and media tabloids. The growing acceptance of outlandish sexuality and public displays of nudity demonstrates the surge of societal acceptance towards bare-all self-expression.
