In 2005 the City of Milwaukee, home to that obnoxious emailer, forced closed Naked Boys Singing!, the show where adult men sing for an audience — almost exclusively gay men and bachelortte parties — while nude. Rather than litigate, the city says, it paid out a $20,000 settlement and admitted no wrongdoing. As in: It sooo didn’t violate producers’ First Amendment rights or anything. The original lawsuit asked for $800,000.

I wish the guys in that pic were in the production I saw. Onstage it was Naked Boys Singing, and in the audience it was clothed man vomiting.

2005? Is there a news backlog? Thanks! Looking forward to 2006.

@Michael: The ban was in 2005. The settlement was this week.
