Topless In This Economy
Some news articles just make me smile. This is one of them.
I somehow found this UPI story called Beachgoers in France Going Topless Less. The point is that with the rough economy, women are keeping their tops on at normally topless beaches. According to French academic Dr. Guy Fournier, the theory goes like this:
“Bare breasts are viewed as a totally natural state on the beach,” Fournier said.
“But public morality follows people’s confidence and optimism in their wealth and lifestyle.”
“During an economic downturn, women are less inclined to let it all hang out and more likely to cover up.”
How incredibly sad.
See, now, I’d think the travesty of having women put their tops back on would make the men who run government fix the economy. Guess not.

Gee! Who would have thought the economy would effect a topless beach!

This defies logic. A topless swimsuit is less expensive!

That’s strange, I would have thought it was the other way around. I feel sorry for the guys!

I really don’t know if a topless bikini would be less expensive. The smaller the suit gets, the more it costs, so do away with the top entirely and the price is going to skyrocket…
