We work in The Big Apple.We see a lot of weird things;
everything from terrestrial Victorian borescopes to the Naked Cowboy.
Naked Cowboy drives to work each day between 11 and noon, in costume, with his female companion.
'Naked' parks in the same 43rd Street garage we use, jumps out and gets right to work. Doesn't matter whether it is 95 degrees and sunny, or 20 degree with snow. He is there. He makes millions smile. Want a photo with him; just stuff a buck in his boot and click away.Whattaguy! Hard working. A real Robert Lampf 'dare to be different' original.
Here is the outrage...
"A judge said a Times Square entertainer who wears just enough to justify the name the "Naked Cowboy" can continue a lawsuit he brought against a blue M&M.
Federal Judge Denny Chin in Manhattan on Monday stripped Robert Burck of some of his claims that a blue M&M wearing a white cowboy hat, cowboy boots and underpants violates his trademarks.
But the judge left intact one strand of that lawsuit. Mr. Chin said Mr. Burck might be able to prove that Mars Inc., which makes M&Ms, unfairly gave the impression that he had endorsed its advertising campaign.
For its part, Mars says the ad campaign was a parody and is protected by the First Amendment." (source)
I wonder how M&M would take it if Naked Cowboy took Big Blue, x'ed out his eyes, cracked his shell, and propped him up in a 42nd St. doorway with an empty whiskey bottle??? Parody? Art, perhaps?
Naked Cowboy will survive – and ride off into the sunset in a big black Cadillac SUV.
Go Naked.
