Boobs on Bike Topless Porn Star Parade OK in NZ
NEW ZEALAND — The locally famous annual Boobs on Bike parade is set to run, walk, and bounce again, after getting approved by the local city council.According to the organizers, the parade of topless porn stars, a lead up to the annual Erotica Expo, will attract a crowd of more than 100,000 people to the city’s Queen Street.
The parade, which starts at 12.45 PM on August 29th and runs from upper Queen Street to Quay Street, will most likely be the largest attended parade in the country this year.
Parade organizer Sandy Watts said that it is for the first time that the Auckland City Council has approved it without any objection. Last year Mayor Dick Hubbard supported attempts to ban the event, saying it was degrading to women.
Watts said that organizers, who had met with council members and staff multiple times this year to discuss the parade, were happy with the result.
However, conservative family lobby group Family First NZ has condemned the Auckland City Council’s decision.
“This is a `lame duck’ council who is not willing to act in the best interests of families and children,” the local press quoted National Director Bob McCoskrie, as saying.
Family First is calling for the council to revoke the permit.
