I See Naked People
"This is New York, of course we have naked people on Eighth Avenue." - Mayor Michael Bloomberg
A group of AIDS activists stripped naked in front of the [Republican National] convention site, demanding that President Bush make good on his promise to help HIV-positive people in the world's poorest countries. Two clothed members of ACT UP climbed atop a media van parked on West 33rd Street, across from Madison Square Garden, and held a sign reading "W: Drop the Debt. Stop AIDS." Then nine others, standing in the street, removed all of their clothes; a tenth protested in her underwear. Police said they arrested 11 people. They were variously charged with public lewdness, disorderly conduct and reckless endangerment. The men and women stood in the buff for about 10 minutes, locking arms and blocking West 33rd Street as they chanted, "Drop the Debt. Stop AIDS." The same slogan was stenciled in black on their bodies. - Yahoo

I never see naked people on the streets. I usually just catch people picking their noses or something equally disgusting.
