Would You?


The man in the photo above is Juan Rodriguez. Juan was arrested for streaking during an Obama speech. The reason for the streaking? To collect a $1M bet by billionaire Alki David who had offered the prize to anyone who could get within eye shot and earshot of the President, paint the name of David's website on their body and shout out the name of the website six times. According to two friends of Rodriguez who filmed the entire event, Juan did accomplish it all. Juan has not spoken because Juan is still in jail.

So, would you be willing to streak in front of the President and thousands of people and get arrested for a $1M? Oh, and the million is payable in cash. I would definitely do it.

  2. lol@BigMama. I would so do it, too. Most of my temp jobs have been nearly as demeaning but for much less pay.

  4. Amen, Brother Ben! Hell YES for me, too! (Would probably lose my work license afterward...but it'd be worth it for even $500k after taxes...)

  5. One million dollars is too much to turn down. I'd have to go through with it.

  6. Even for $5000 cash I would do it.

  10. Maybe not the President, it seems like you could be charged with a serious crime that you wouldn't if you ran by Braddock Pitt naked.

  11. I hope the company is paying his legal fees. Because being arrested for streaking in front of the president? That's going to take some serious legal firepower to prevent being thrown in jail by the secret service for years.

    In short, NO WAY would I do it. $1m ($500k after the IRS gets their share. and believe me, they WILL get their share when you're fucking with POTUS) is just not enough to screw up my entire life.

    And how sad is it that some jerkwad business owner is willing to offer up a bounty for messing around with POTUS. We lived in a messed up reality tv 15-minutes of fame world that has no respect.

    1 mil is not enough for these times. It would need to be 5 mil or more hehehehe.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Yes, despite the 'shitty' $1 mil.

    Even after taxes, it's a good payday for an overnight in the pokey.

    Pokey.....Hee!

  17. Well, if someone did manage to pull it off, they wouldn't need a sugar mama for a while!!

  18. Well, now that the IRS knows about it the most he can hope to collect is $5.99.

  19. Fuck the fucking IRS!

  20. Not me. I couldn't do it. I'm shy. *blushes*

  21. I don't see where you actually have to be naked for this. Maybe not well covered but not completely naked. In which case, yes I'd do this. I think but would feel sorry for anyone who had to see me!

  22. Anyone who doesn't think half a million after taxes isn't that much money needs to spread some cash my way. Hell yes, I'd do it. I wouldn't think streaking would be as likely to get you in big trouble as throwing something at him. Hmm, Obama is going to be here in two weeks for a public speech. How do I get in touch with David?

    ReplyDelete
  23. If you asked me around the age of 5, I'd say yes. I was a streaker. Now? Hell no. I'm way to modest/shy!!

    I got the giggles imagining him shouting out the website name six times. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  24. No. Could you imagine going to lock-up naked? PASS.

    I'm much too shy. I could use the money for a plumber but there ain't no way I'd do that.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I'd do it. And I don't know why the secret service would keep him in jail for years, He obviously couldn't be carrying a concealed weapon.
