Erykah Badu being charged for naked stroll through Dallas

“Erykah Badu‘s naked stroll through downtown Dallas, Texas, for a music video has earned her a disorderly conduct citation. The singer shed her clothes as she walked through Dealey Plaza until she was nude and then fell near where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Badu said the video was “shot guerrilla style,” without a crew and in one take March 17. A Dallas Police spokeswoman said earlier in the week that they wanted to press charges against Badu because children were present, but no one had called police or filed a complaint that day. Police now have their witness.” [CNN]

The witness probably works for her record label. Total punishment: $500 fine. Total free press from having to pay a $500 fine: priceless.
