James Apple, 24, has a different idea of how to expose himself to art. The Fort Worth man climbed up a billboard for the Museum of Living Art and walked around naked — slowing traffic for nearly five hours.
After hours of trying to coax Apple off the billboard, the police came up with the brilliant idea of telling him that they expected rain. He then came down and was put under psychiatric observation.
It would seem that the living display worked on many levels or sides. The other side had a “We Buy Ugly Houses” advertisement.
To their credit, the police showed admirable restraint in not doing a William Tell with Mr. Apple. In New York, they appear to taser naked man on ledges, here.

In New York City, that is a display of art.
I wish I’d been there … the man was inspired by art.

You just got to love it. Texas and all. Prof, I disagree, I am sure if the officers would have been smart enough to have thunk that one out they would have wet him and then tasered em.
