Facebook doesn't like naked cyclists and has hidden the World Naked Bike Ride due to happen in York on the 4th of June.  Facebook have a habit of removing political content and the Naked (or clothes-optional) bike ride is no exception.

On Saturday 4th June 2011, the SIXTH World Naked Bike Ride will take place in YORK. Start time is 5pm, gathering from 4 onwards just south of Millennium Bridge.  They have had the event page deleted on Facebook. 

It is sad when nudity is unacceptable in society yet newspapers can have page 3 girls, magazines can talk about dieting and fat celebrities with disgust and music videos have become soft-core erotica.  Our society has issue with the human body and seeing 'normal' people with no clothes has become unacceptable.  Body image being solely connected with erotica and advertising is a expected and has been used since the 1920.
