WILL NEW MILLENNIUM BE `NUDE MILLENNIUM?'

KISSIMMEE, Fla. (Wireless Flash) -- It looks like the new millennium is going to be a NUDE millennium. According to the American Association of Nude Recreation, anxiety about the dreaded Y2K computer glitch is prompting many people to shed their clothes as a way to relieve stress. The clothing-free organization says the number of nudists has almost doubled and nude cruises are now the fastest growing segment of the travel industry. A spokesperson claims relaxing in the buff is a great way to escape technologically-driven stress because "...it's hard to clip on a beeper when you're not wearing any clothes." The nude recreation group hopes to add even more practicing nudists to their ranks starting Monday (July 5), which is the first day of Nude Recreation Week.
