WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Thousands of people -- almost
all of them men -- lined the main street of New
Zealand's biggest city Wednesday as 25 topless porn
stars paraded on motor bikes and two old army tanks.

Businessmen, schoolboys and Japanese tourists lined
Auckland's Queen St to watch the "Boobs on Bikes"
parade, which went ahead despite the winter chill, a
nippy wind and objections by some city officials.

"It does nothing for our image, it does nothing for
our city and I just think it gives us indecent
exposure around the country and around the world,"
Auckland city councilor Scott Milne told TV New
Zealand.

"It's shabby and it's sleazy and we just don't need
it."

The parade of leather-clad porn stars is part of an
"Erotica Expo" organized by self-styled "porn king"
Steve Crow.

"You'll always have a vocal minority, you're always
going to have people who object to everything, be it
religion or be it adult entertainment," Crow said.

"If you don't like it don't come," he said.

Many of the curious onlookers came with cameras and
mobile telephones to take pictures of the parade.
Others held aloft banners which read "Sleaze Brings
Disease in Body & Mind."

Most of the local and international porn stars rode
pillion on motor bikes during the 30-minute parade.
One man clad only in leather pants rode astride a
decommissioned army tank.

"I don't know what all the fuss was about, to be
honest," an unidentified male onlooker said.

Others debated whether the centerpieces of the parade
were real or surgically enhanced.

Police allowed the parade to go ahead because New
Zealand law does not regard the public baring of
breasts as indecent.

There were no reports of arrests during the parade,
which briefly distracted about 4,000 local workers at
a nearby trade union protest.

Sounds to me as if everyone had a good time – those in the parade as well as the protesters.

See, the truth came out, it was all part of an attempt to break up union protests. Ah, the shame of it all.

Do we have any NZ Pixies that can send us photos?
