Clearwater says goodbye to ‘flashers’
January 8th, 2008 by Wade Tatangelo in News
Annual Wild Splash concert relocating from Clearwater to Tampa, reports TampaBay.com. Mayor of Scientology Town, U.S.A., apparently prefers freaks toting E-meters and the complete removal of downtown nightlife to “brief nudity.”
Although the concert drew big, exuberant crowds, some city officials were upset with the foul language they heard and the brief nudity they saw, mostly from flashers. Raucous behavior also was a problem with the Next Big Thing.
“I always had a problem with some of the impact of the concert, because of some of the incidents that occurred, so I’m not sorry to see that go,” Clearwater Mayor Frank Hibbard said today. “We want to have diversity in our entertainment, but at the same time we don’t want the negative impact it brought. I’m not going to lose any sleep over it.”
So, exactly what entertainment is left these days in downtown Clearwater? Other than, y’know, waiting outside the Fort Harrison for a glimpse of Tom-Kat and their lil,’ soon-to-be-indoctrinated, offspring Suri?

Coning Soon: Tampa Calling says “Goodbye” to admitted bigot Wade Tatangelo?
Wade: “freaks toting E-meters” “Tom-Kat and their lil,’ soon-to-be-indoctrinated, offspring Suri”
Tolerance much Wade? Way to party like it’s 1859!
Try celebrating diversity like a 21st Century person, it could be a growing experience for you.
Take care, be well, have fun,
Tom

Wade is not a bigot (maybe a little bit of a dick sometimes…), but he’s spot-on about the “freaks toting E-metersâ€. downtown clearwater scares the crap out me. the hubbardites need to fly back to whatever planet they think they came from…

Just so we’re clear on this I think Tom J is guilty of dickishness not Wade.

kellie,
oh sure, tom is a dick, no doubt. but i couldn’t pass on the opportunity to take a jab (in good fun) at wade. i’m sure if he ever decides to show up at work, he’ll just throw shit over the wall at me for that.

He is a shit thrower from way back.

It’s gonna be ugly, Gabe. Just you wait, buddy!
Thanks for getting my back, Kellie. I’ll let you know if I need any help pummeling Gabe with office supplies when I finally make an appearance at CL headquarters.
