Would you bare all?

Let's ponder for a moment what you would do if you were in a hostage situation. Put aside the fact that you'd likely have a huge knot in your stomach and had probably soiled yourself a few minutes in. Forget, too, that the police have every intention of taking this dude out because, let's face it, something isn't entirely right upstairs. Sure, there's usually some underlying reason as to why a person takes others as hostages. Maybe this guy is desperate, he's recently lost his job, his life is falling apart, his wife bailed on him for someone who can actually hold down a job and both his car and house get repossessed tomorrow. That's a lot of crap to have dumped on you in a couple days. Still, it's no reason to walk in to a bank and threaten the lives of a dozen or so innocent folks just going about their day's business.

But, maybe this guy has a heart. He knows that these hostages don't deserve to be sucked in to his craptastic life and his wagon load of problems. What the hell, he's going to let them go. But he'll let the hostages go with one tiny catch. When they leave, they have to be stark naked. Would you listen to this mad man who may very well be a pervert as well? It's your life at stake here so it's either strip down or hang out with a sweaty, gun-wielding psycho who has no exit plan. Think of all the news cameras outside taping the event for posterity. CNN just picked up the feed from a local TV station and your only way out is to walk naked into the focus of a dozen or so TV cameras, journalists with high quality cameras and a hundred or so dumbass rubberneckers with cell phones chck full or cameras and video cameras all looking to post this footage on YouTube and their blogs. Your nudity to save your own life would live on for all of time.

What would you do?

Hey, there's no gun-wielding psychos but there are tons of camera-toting geniuses at MinnPics who capture Minnesota through their camera's lens with expert quality and are showcased daily.
