Please, Think Of The Children

This story is funny for multiple reasons, one of which is that I can completely understand how it happens. Walking around the streets in Dutch towns, particularly at night, you notice that you can look directly into people's houses because front yards are largely non-existent. For many Dutch, their living rooms are fishbowls.

The story, spotted on Radio Netherlands' website:

According to Trouw a naturist has been banned from wandering around his own house naked with the curtains open. Anxious parents in the neighbourhood had taken the 66-year-old to court after their children came home with stories about a naked man waving to them from his front room. The man doesn't know what all the fuss is about, "I always drink a cup of coffee and smoke a cigarette in the nude, before I get dressed." According to him the neighbours have never minded. He says his house is 35 metres from the road and there are large plants in the garden. "You'd have to be a peeping tom to see me."
