MEDIA

Listed below is all the media coverage that I was able to find on the internet in response to my viral video “Is it legal to be topless here?” that accompanied my column of the same name. Apparently it was even farther reaching than this. The Google Translator became my best friend during this process. It was a polarizing issue all over the world – in some countries more than others. Just click on the publication names to open. The original video was hijacked over 35 times as people tried getting hits to their own YouTube accounts so the amount of views the video received is unknown. page. YouTube is bizarre! The original video as well as the “HI ELLEN!” video I posted shortly after are at the bottom of this page. I never did hear back from Ellen or her people and I didn’t keep track of any of the media coverage that video got.
