JULY 20, 1969 -- THE DAY THAT MAN WAS MOONED
THE MOON: As it appeared in the Tinkertoy telescope of Ed Conrad on July 20, 1969 . . . http://www.factsoffishing.com/wp-con...ads/mooned.jpg "ONE SMALL STEP FOR MAN . . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mouUUWpEec0 "ONE GIANT LEAP FOR MANKIND." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gem10...eature=related ======================= OTHER MORE RECENT INCIDENTS OF MOONING In November 1987, an intruder interrupted the broadcast signal of Chicago PBS affiliate WTTW with a strange video of himself dressed to resemble Max Headroom. At one point in the video, the man exposes his buttocks to the camera before being spanked with a flyswatter by an accomplice. In June 2000, a mass mooning event was organized outside of Buckingham Palace in the United Kingdom by the Movement Against the Monarchy (M'AM). The idea was for anti-monarchists to show their dislike of the British monarchy by performing a mass mooning at their home. However, a large police presence prevented a large scale mooning, but even so, a few individuals mooned. Some were arrested but others managed to pose for various newspapers, etc. This event is known as the Moon Against the Monarchy event. The Annual Mooning of Amtrak is a long-running annual tradition in Laguna Niguel, (Orange County) Calif. where many people spend all day mooning at Amtrak trains; some even ride the trains on that day just so they can witness the event. This mooning has spawned a chain of "train moonings" throughout the entire country http://img.allvoices.com/thumbs/even...oon-amtrak.jpg On July 13, 2008, local authorities cracked down on the practice after a reported 8,000 people participated in the festivities. However, the festival still continues annually but with more police supervision. In the 2003 World Athletics Final in Monaco, Tim Lobinger mooned the crowd on the podium after winning the pole vault. He was fined $5,000 (US). At the 2005 UK Music Hall of Fame awards ceremony, musician Ozzy Osbourne mooned the crowd after a set he had played with his group Black Sabbath. On Jan. 9, 2005, Randy Moss of the Minnesota Vikings pretended to moon Green Bay Packers fans afyrtr scoring a touchdown. He was fined $10,000 by the NFL. On Oct. 24, 2011, economic inequality protester Liam Wariner of Sydney ran alongside the motorcade of Queen Elizabeth II and a waving Prince Phillip with an Australian flag clenched between his exposed buttocks before being grabbed by police. "MOONING" APPARENTLY NOT A CRIME In 2006, a Maryland state circuit court determined that mooning is a form of artistic expression protected by the United States constitutional right of freedom of speech. The court ruled that indecent exposure only relates to exposure of the genitals,adding that even though mooning was a "disgusting" and "demeaning" act -- and, in addition, had taken place in the presence of minors, "If exposure of half of the buttocks constituted indecent exposure, any woman wearing a thong at the beach at Ocean City would be guilty." Defense attorneys had cited a 1983 case of a woman who was arrested after protesting in front of the U.S. Supreme Court building wearing nothing but a cardboard sign that covered the front of her body. In that case, the District of Columbia Court of Appeals had ruled that indecent exposure is limited to a person's genitalia. No review of the case by a higher court took place since prosecutors dropped the case after the ruling. In California, an appellate court found in 2000 that mooning does not constitute indecent exposure (and, therefore, does not subject the defendant to sex offender registration laws) unless it can be proven beyond reasonable doubt that the conduct was sexually motivated. ======================== OTHER MAJOR CONSPIRACIES MAN AS OLD AS COAL https://groups.google.com/forum/?fro...Y/ZluVLvAFI1IJ http://www.edconrad.com PROOF OF LIFE AFTER DEATH http://www.edconrad.org ========================= MAJOR EUROPEAN NEWSPAPERS National Newspapers of the United Kingdom Daily Express Daily Mail Daily Mirror Daily Star Electronic Telegraph Financial Times News of the World Observer (Sunday) Sunday Mirror Sunday People Sunday Times The Guardian The Independent The Sun The Times National Newspapers of Germany Bild-Zeitung Die Sueddeutsche Zeitung Der Spiegel Der Spiegel (English) Die Tageszeitung Die Welt Die Zeit Handelsblatt National Newspapers of Italy La Repubblica La Stampa La Osservatore Romano Il Corriere della Sera L'Unità Il Sole 24 Ore Il Manifesto National Newspapers of Sweden Aftonbladet Dagens Nyheter Svenska Dagbladet National Newspapers of Ireland Irish Examiner Irish Times The Sunday Business Post The Sunday World PENNSYLVANIA NEWSPAPERS Allentown The Morning Call Altoona The Mirror Ardmore Main Line Times Ashland The Daily News Aspinwall The Valley Herald Beaver Beaver County Times Bloomsburg The Press Enterprise Bradford The Bradford Era Bristol The Courier Bridgeville Bridgeville Area News Brookville Jeffersonian Democrat Butler Butler Eagle Carlisle The Sentinel Carnegie Signal Item Chambersburg Public Opinion Online Clarion The Clarion News Clarks Summit The Abington Journal Clearfield Gant Daily Clearfield The Progress Connellsville The Daily Courier Coudersport The Potter-Leader Enterprise Cranberry Cranberry Journal Star Dallas The Dallas Post Doylestown The Intelligencer Du Bois The Courier Express East Stroudsburg Pocono Business Journal Easton Express-Times Ellwood City Ellwood City Ledger Emlenton The Progress News Emporium Cameron County Endevor News Erie Times News ( Gettysburg Gettysburg Times Greencastle Echo Pilot Greensburg The Tribune-Review Hanover Evening Sun Harrisburg The Patriot News Havertown News of Delaware County Hawley The News Eagle Hazleton El Mensajero Hazleton Standard-Speaker Honesdale The Wayne Independent Indiana The Indiana Gazette Johnstown Tribune Democrat Kane Kane Republican Kittanning Leader Times Lahaska Bucks County Herald Lancaster Lancaster Online Latrobe Laurel Mountain Post Lebanon The Daily News Lehighton The Times News Levittown Bucks County Courier Times Lewistown The Sentinel Lock Haven The Express Mahanoy City The Record-American McConnellsburg The Fulton County News McKeesport The Daily News Meadville Meadville Tribune Milford Tri State News Milford Tri State Observer Millersburg Upper Dauphin Sentinel Milton Standard Journal Monessen The Valley Independent Mountain Top Mountain Peaks Mountain Top Mountaintop Eagle New Bethlehem The Leader Vindicator New Bloomfield Perry County Times New Castle New Castle News Norristown The Times Herald Oil City The Derrick Philadelphia Business Journal ette West Chester Daily Local News Wilkes Barre The Citizens Voice Wilkes Barre The Times Leader Wilkes Barre The Weekender Williamsport Sun-Gazette Wyalusing Rocket-Courier York The York Dispatch York York Daily Record COLLEGE NEWSPAPERS Bloomsburg University The Voice Cabrini College Loquitur California Univ California Times Carnegie Mellon Univ The Carnegie Pulse Carnegie Mellon Univ The Tartan Clarion University of PA The Clarion Call Delaware Valley College RamPages Dickinson The Dickinsonian Drexel University The Triangle Duquesne University The Duquesne Duke Indiana University The Penn Lafayette College The Lafayette Lehigh Univ The Brown and White Lock Haven Univ The Eagle Eye Millersville Univ The Snapper Muhlenberg College Muhlenberg Weekly Penn State The Digital Collegian Penn State Hazleton Highacres Collegian Slippery Rock Univ The Rocket Swarthmore Phoenix Swarthmore The Daily Gazette Temple Univ The Temple News Univ of Pennsylvania Daily Pennsylvanian Univ of Pittsburgh The Pitt News Wharton Wharton Journal York College The Spartan |
