Public displays of nudity

Most people go out of their way to avoid public displays of nudity — then there are the exhibitionists who love nothing more than stripping off in front of a crowd.

Sometimes drugs and alcohol help loosen inhibitions, like the drug-impaired Mexican man who turned up for a job interview naked, but on other occasions the allure of a large crowd is too much to resist.

A US man who streaked across a football field and evaded security by fleeing in a getaway car was clearly not making a spur of the moment substance-influenced decision.

But sometimes you just have to seize the moment, like a man who made a naked dash in front of Nine News cameras during a live cross in near freezing conditions.

Here is a compilation of some amusing acts of public nudity caught on camera.
