Bon Bon: Pantsless at the World Cup

The World Cup played in the background as we had our pre-field trip breakfast on Tuesday morning at Philippe's. We were all fully clothed.

MC101 Supplemental Instruction leader Mike Arvizu sent this one in. Advertising can motivate us to do a lot of things we normally wouldn't do, but this is the first time I've heard of an advertising sponsorship causing guys to partially disrobe in public.

National Public Radio reports that about a thousand Dutch soccer fans had to take off their pants before they could watch their national team play a World Cup match in Stuttgart, Germany. The men were wearing the trademark orange pants of the Baveria Brewing Company, while the exclusive beer sponsor for the event is Budweiser. Most of the men watched from the official viewing area in their underwear.

***GOOD TURNOUT for Tuesday's field trips to the Los Angeles Times and Los Angeles Central Library. I counted 22 MC101s and guests at the Times and 19 at the library. In between, we took to the streets and explored the city's Historic Core.
