THE Austrian national rugby team tried to get over their 48-0 defeat by Lithuania by staging a mass striptease. The team bared all in the Lithuania's capital Vilnius late on Saturday, only to find they had been caught on video and put on the internet. The video, put out by a blogger on social community website Virb and then taken up by the Lithuanian news portal Delfi, showed a group of 20 men singing and stripping off their clothes on a street in central Vilnius, while people in a nearby bar clapped and cheered. "Yes, these were the men we played against on Saturday ... I guess the defeat could have prompted them to do that," Lithuanian rugby federation president Aleksandras Makarenka said. Delfi quoted the Vilnius police chief as saying stripping in public could be considered an act of hooliganism - but by then the Austrian team had gone home.

I read about this somewhere last month, but i can't remember where. i was going to post it, but got caught up in the everyday activities of the day. I guess that's one way to celebrate. Sounds like something i would do. I don't see why people make such a big fuss over an innocent act like this... sometimes people just want to have fun. Hell live life. That's what it's for.
