I noticed there was a streaker that ran naked through the superbowl game tonight. Does anyone know where I may obtain this clip?

Not a clip, but here’s a [photo](http://wwwi.reuters.com/images/2004-02-02T025739Z_01_SBP321D_RTRIDSP_2_SPORT-NFL.jpg) of him being hauled away.

Was he wearing some kind of G-string or pouch? The “package” looks odd in the photo.

I believe some reports indicated he started off wearing a jock strap.

I’d just like to point out that he didn’t just run. He started off doing an Irish jig. Good times.

It was a gold pastie.

Was this show produced by MTV, too?

It was a wardrobe malfunction.

MTV had originally cast John Madden, but his bus was late.

I think my wife secretly wishes it had been Ed Hochuli.

Looking at **SmackFu’s** picture link, you gotta feel sorry for the two guys behind him carrying his legs. Instead of being in front of Janet Jackson when her boob pops out, they’ve got a Hubble eye view right up some sweaty stranger’s nebula.

Talk about a bad time to catch wind of the situation.

Here’s the guy’s website. I’m serious. And no, it doesn’t appear to have offensive content.

I’m not sure if it is, but the guy in that photo looks a lot like Mark Roberts. A serial streaker from over here (UK). He streaks everywhere, and is in fact, a professional streaker. He’s had a few TV programmes made about him.
