No naked people at homes, please

The Mexican city of Villahermosa has adopted a law banning indoor nudity. Now citizens are not allowed to be naked at home.

The punishment is 36 hours in jail, or a fine of $121.

We are talking about zero tolerance ... for a lack of morality,'' said city councilwoman Blanca Estela Pulido of the Revolutionary Institutional Party, which governs the state and city. What else could you possibly expect from a party with such a name?

And the best part:

Pulido said she was confident that citizens who catch a glimpse of offenders would report them to police -- though the law also threatens jail for peeping Toms.

Hey, these people really know how to collect revenue.
