For those lukewarm soccer enthusiasts who contend that more public nudity would greatly improve Europe's favorite foot-oriented sporting event, this is somewhat fantastic news. Recently, "more than 1,800 men and women have posed nude for US photographer Spencer Tunick in Vienna's Ernst Happel stadium, less than a month before it hosts the European football championship final."

Granted, there wasn't actually a game going on during the time of this photo shoot, but it should be encouraging for those determined to streak during the Euro 2008 soccer final which will be held June 29th. The line between drunken public displays of hairy parts and artistic expression has just gotten a little smaller.
