Tourists arrested in Cambodia after taking nude photos at a sacred temple

http://blog.sfgate.com/getlost/2015/02/10/tourists-arrested-in-cambodia-after-taking-nude-photos-at-a-sacred-temple/

Here’s a reminder of what not to do when playing tourist: Sisters Lindsey and Leslie Adams of Prescott, Arizona, were arrested in Cambodia after getting naked and taking photos at a sacred temple.

Nothing says time for nudies like an ancient, holy landmark, right?

Lindsey and Leslie were visiting Angkor Wat, a major tourist attraction in Cambodia, and decided it would be a good idea to take off their clothes for a very inappropriate and unnecessary photoshoot. The two sisters, 22 and 20 respectively, were said to have “lowered their pants to their knees and took pictures of their buttocks.”...

Surprisingly (or not), the Arizona sisters are not the first to shed their clothes at this revered World Heritage site; in the last two months, at least two other tourist groups decided to pose nude at the temple, prompting a crackdown from APSARA.


Alas, no pics.

if you can't pee on the leg of the local cop who interrupts you when you stumble down the street puking drunk? You may as well stay home!

Three French tourists were deported last weekend after they pleaded guilty to taking nude pictures of each other inside another temple within the complex.

The three deported French men received a suspended six-month prison sentence on two charges - public exposure and making pornography - and will be banned from re-entering Cambodia for four years.

The trio were caught just days after a series of photos of Asian women posing nude at ancient Cambodian temples went viral online and outraged officials who vowed to step up efforts to prevent similar stunts.

the blonde sister in court. It'd be funny if someone could photoshop it onto the brunette's face for a comparison.
