Wait, we’re supposed to expose the guys who are exposing us to photos of exposed men?

My thoughts exactly, what is the scam or is it just some sort of public service? Though it can only be the latter if these pictures are of good-looking men.

Can this please replace the “how is babby formed?” meme, please? That one is really annoying.

But they were “PERVERTS”, not PERVERTS. I would like an explanation as to why they aren’t bona fide PERVERTS.

Also, pictures of growin’ men. 😃

Well, now, you got yer “perverts” and then you got yer perverts. Don’t be fooled–they are NOT the same! You’re right to ask questions, but don’t be surprised if the silver-tongued naked ones kill you for it. Word to the wise and all…

I’m connected. 🙂

Actually, **fedup42** seemed an unusual enough username that I figured he could turn up on a Google search (there are additional **fedup42** profiles on various sites, but without naked photo/connector diatribes).

Given that the OP has a classically paranoid air to it (minus allusions to radiation and/or powerful clandestine groups), I suppose it’s kind of mean to make mock. On the other hand, I doubt that **fedup42** is coming back to engage in dialogue on this matter.

Is this not another example of the [connector conspiracy](http://catb.org/esr/jargon/html/C/connector-conspiracy.html)?

I’m at my desk, naked. Can I submit picture of myself to these guys? I’m in CA so I understand I might be geographically undesirable.

Damn, again I miss that guy, the one with the woodcuts proving that all the European Royals were from Africa. He was nuts, but he came back. The driveby crazies always leave me feeling so empty.

Agreed!

And, of course, I actually sat here, and sang the OP in my best Eddie Vedder impersonation. Out loud. Tried it to the tune of “Jeremy.” Not bad. But I think now my fiance is on the phone with the local booby hatch to see how he can get me committed for 72 hours.

I’ll be OK. 😃

I think I get it. They’re trying to drum up business for [these guys.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=80750) Or I guess they **are** those guys.

This is a _scam??_

I wish I’d known sooner. I feel so stupid now.

Sorry to disappoint you, but if you re-read the OP, you’ll see that they’re not silver-tongued, but

.

No hyphen, and “oung” instead of “ongu”. Couldn’t be more different…

Seriously, does anyone have a clue? It appears to be some kind of anti-government thing with some Christian references. Is the National Endowment for the Arts putting on another controversial exhibit or something?
