Serial Streaker banned!

[Marcella-FL]

Being a parent of 4 children ... I have less of a problem with a streaker at a football match than I do with alot of movies / tv programs / commercials / print ads / billboards out there nowadays.... even if they are geared towards the general public. A streaker is not sexualized ... he's not stopping mid field having a wank ... he's making a statement, getting noticed, being silly ... can't say the same about the aforementioned things. If I could kick a few celebs off the planet - I would do it! Starting with Paris HIlton ...

Carry On... streaking:
Judge refuses to give 'harmless' sporting stripper an Asbo
By JAMES TOZER

He has made an exhibition of himself at some of the world's most famous sporting arenas. But it looked like the final whistle had sounded for serial streaker Mark Roberts when police applied for an Asbo to stop him exposing himself. Yesterday, however, a judge blocked the order. And Mr Roberts vowed to carry on streaking. The unemployed 42-year-old Liverpudlian was most recently spotted at last year's Ryder Cup, running on to the course with just a toy squirrel preserving his modesty and a golf ball between his buttocks as Tiger Woods was about to tee off.

Mr Roberts, who claims to have completed 380 streaks, says there are barely any sporting events left where he has yet to expose himself. Currently, streakers can be prosecuted for such offences as outraging public decency and indecent exposure but there is no specific law against their antics. At yesterday's hearing before Liverpool magistrates, Merseyside Police sought an anti-social behaviour order banning Mr Roberts from displaying his buttocks and genitals in public. He would have faced jail if he breached it.



Jim Clarke, for the force, said: 'Mr Roberts seeks to portray himself as a performer. But people do not pay to see this man streak.' However Laurence Lee, defending, said his client had not streaked in 12 months apart from last September's Ryder Cup in Ireland, adding that he had 'turned over a new fig leaf'. 'He accepts some people might be offended,' Mr Lee added. 'But this is good, old-fashioned British fun.'

District judge Nick Sanders rejected the Asbo application, saying Mr Roberts's behaviour did not cause real distress. ' What Mr Roberts does may be annoying but, in my opinion, it does not amount to anti-social behaviour,' he said. Afterwards, Mr Roberts said: 'Humour and justice has prevailed over political correctness. My motivation has only ever been to entertain people. The day I get booed by the public is the day I stop.' He hinted he is now considering retirement, adding: 'They should have brought this Asbo when I was in my prime, but I'm 42 and there's not much left that I want to do.'



Over the last 14 years, hundreds of millions of viewers have seen Mr Roberts naked, usually daubed with some pun or other. His most prominent appearances include:

• Leaping on to the floating weathermap during a live broadcast of This Morning in 1995.
• Running on to Centre Court during the 2002 Wimbledon men's final - between Lleyton Hewitt and David Nalbandian - and vaulting the net.
• Scaling the fence at Royal Ascot on Ladies' Day in 2003 and cantering down the track with 'Lady Muck' penned on his chest.
• Dashing on to the pitch at the 2004 SuperBowl in Houston, with 'Super Bowel' written across his back - moments later he was flattened by one of the players.
• Prancing around the table at the 2004 Embassy World Snooker Finals at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, naked except for a pair of shiny black shoes and joke teeth.

There was a shock delay in America, when Roberts paraded after the first-quarter of the 2004 Superbowl. After yesterday's ruling, police called for a change in the law to enable them to ban repeat streakers, saying their stunts detracted from their ability to tackle hooliganism and the threat of terrorist attacks. John Beyer, of the pressure group Mediawatch UK, said: 'This ruling is likely to lead other people to do the same thing. I hope broadcasters will be vigilant in not transmitting their actions as nudity does cause offence, particularly during the daytime.'

Ahh, the legal system. It has its moments for sure... I'm glad to hear the guy's turned over a new fig-leaf

Footballer who rugby-tackled streaker in a Borat mankini is sent off for violent disorder
8th March 2011

A footballer well and truly saw red when a streaker dressed in a Borat mankini invaded the pitch during the middle of a game last night. Because Dorchester Town's Ashley Vickers rugby-tackled the offender to the ground, he was stunned to be sent off by the referee - for violent distorder. In what must go down as one of the most amazing reasons for dismissal ever, the player was given his marching orders during the Blue Square Bet South clash at Havant and Waterlooville.

The players of both teams had stood and watched bemused as the man ran around the pitch for 30 seconds in his curly black wig to the cheers of the crowd. But after a few laughable efforts to catch the streaker, Dorchester's player-manager decided he had seen enough and took it upon himself to stop him.

Vickers, 39, ran after the invader before grabbing him by the shoulders and flinging him to the floor to allow the stewards to remove him. The cheers of the 458-strong crowd then turned to boos as Vickers was made to leave the field at a chilly Westleigh Park in Havant, Hampshire, last night.

Vickers said afterwards: 'I'm dumbfounded and speechless. A guy ran on to the pitch without any of the stewards getting near him and I thought I was doing them a favour. My only thought was to get hold of him so we could get on with the game. I managed to grab him and bring him to the ground and the funny thing was the stewards actually thanked me for it.

'But the ref decided to send me off and it beggars belief. Their players told the ref not to send me off and their chairman even offered to take a player off to even things up. 'No one in the ground, players and supporters alike, will have seen anything like that before and no one will see anything like it again. The ref lost the game after that and he knew he had made a great error by the reaction of Havant's players and management. In hindsight I perhaps shouldn't have done it but hindsight is a wonderful thing. I am sure people will crucify me for this but I have broad shoulders.'

The unnamed streaker was ejected from the game and has since been banned from attending any future games. The match was evenly poised at 1-1 at the time of the invasion and the subsequent sending off 70 minutes into the game. Dorchester had two more players sent off after that for unrelated offences and Havant and Waterlooville went on to win the Blue Square Bet South clash 3-1. Vickers said: 'We were 1-0 up and playing ever so well.'

A spokesman for Dorchester Town FC said today that they would not be commenting further on the matter until they have seen the referee's report.

University Boat Race 2012: towpath guerrilla sticks his oar in
An Australian activist with an anti-elitism manifesto has been named as the man who disrupted the University boat race between Oxford and Cambridge by swimming in the River Thames.
Patrick Sawer and Edward Malnick
7 Apr 2012

First, Sir Matthew Pinsent, the former Olympic rower, thought he saw debris in the water. Then, he and hundreds watching on the banks of the river thought it must be a dog, swimming towards the Oxford and Cambridge boats as they sped past Chiswick on a choppy Thames. But when he realised that it was a bearded man in a wetsuit who was heading straight for Oxford's vessel, he desperately signalled to stop the Boat Race, eight minutes after it had begun.

Staring from the water at Sir Matthew, the assistant umpire, was Trenton Oldfield, an Australian activist who had swum in to publicise his bizarre manifesto. As the two crews stopped, the oars inches from Mr Oldfield's head, officials dragged him out of the water and on to another launch. Minutes later, wrapped in a blanket and grinning broadly, Mr Oldfield was led away by police, and was being held last night on suspicion of committing a public order offence.

It was without doubt the most bizarre moment in the 158 years of the Boat Race, which had previously seen six sinkings and one restart. John Garrett, the umpire who halted the race, said: "Sir Matthew basically said, 'There's something in the water, there's something in the water.' He thought it was some debris and then we realised that it was actually a swimmer. "We weren't sure what was going to happen, whether he was going to get out of the way in time and then it was quite clear he was just waiting for the boats to come across him so I had to stop the race and restart."

On the Chiswick side of the river was Annie Osborne, a spectator. Spotting what she thought was an animal in the water, she grabbed her father's binoculars to get a better view. "When we first spotted him, we thought he was a dog, until we looked through my father's binoculars," she said. "He was at the river bank and after a while it became clear he was waiting for the boats to come around, before swimming out to them. When he was brought onshore at Chiswick Pier, he didn't say anything, but he looked very pleased with himself."

Sgt Chris Tranter, of the Metropolitan Police, said the rowers had nearly decapitated the swimmer. "They almost took his head off," he said. Sir Matthew said: "It might have been a very serious injury. Fortunately, we spotted him and stopped the race. It's not ideal but what could we do? We could not possibly have carried on."

In his wake was confusion and chaos. Oxford were a quarter of a length in the lead when Mr Oldfield brought the four-and-a-quarter mile race to a standstill. Shortly after the race was restarted, just before 3pm, Oxford suffered a broken oar, apparently caused when they clashed with the Cambridge boat. Handicapped by their broken blade Oxford, who had been favourites, went on to limp in second.

Meanwhile, Mr Oldfield's identity was becoming public, as well as his reasons for the stunt, which he claimed was a deliberate act of civil disobedience. Shortly before taking to the water Mr Oldfield, who was apparently privately educated before studying at the London School of Economics and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, posted a manifesto online.

Entitled Elitism Leads to Tyranny, he declared: "This is a protest, an act of civil disobedience, a methodology of refusing and resistance. This act has employed guerrilla tactics. I am swimming into the boats in the hope I can stop them from completing the race." In his manifesto, Mr Oldfield said he was targeting the boat race because of its elitist nature – saying it went past Fulham Palace, a former royal residence, St Paul's, the leading public school, and the London home of Nick Clegg, the Deputy Prime Minister, who he attacked for being educated at public school. He even likened it to the actions of Emily Davison, the suffragette who threw herself under the King's horse at the Epsom Derby on June 4, 1913 and died of her injuries four days later.

Mr Oldfield is familiar with this stretch of the Thames, having once worked as a coordinator for the Thames Strategy project, set up to regenerate the landscape around the river from Kew to Chelsea. He is also a member of a group of activists called This Is Not A Gateway, which he set up with his girlfriend, Deepa Naik, a fellow artist, to protest at the way modern cities are run. Mr Oldfield, who lives in a 1930s apartment block in Whitechapel, east London, also objects to "shiny buildings" and wants to "remove every fence from around every park".

His blog urges people to stage similar stunts in a bid to disrupt the London Olympics and suggests, somewhat bizarrely, that taxi drivers take their passengers the slowest and most expensive route possible in protest at their "elite status". Last night, he was being widely mocked on the internet, the medium he used to post his manifesto – although his actions are being more seriously studied by the organisers of the Olympics.

There are particular concerns over the security of "open" events such as the cycle road races and the marathons – which will take place outside of the Olympic Park in Stratford also in east London – and could be targeted by pranksters as well as serious protesters and even terrorists.

A spokesman for the London Olympics said: "There has been an increase in protests, such as those by the Occupy movement, which has already led police and security agencies to assess how to counter this kind of incident."

Mr Oldfield left Chiswick Police station shortly before midnight. No longer in a wetsuit, he appeared in an expensive-looking black peacoat, crisp white shirt and navy trousers. He seemed, however, to have forgotten his socks. His only comment was “It’s a protest. Read the blog.” He was driven away by a blonde woman.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said Mr Oldfield had been charged with a Section 5 offence under the Public Order Act and bailed to appear at Feltham Magistrates' Court on April 23.
