Sisters arrested for nude photos at Angkor

[grandmoon]

Two American sisters have been arrested in Cambodia for taking naked photos of each other inside the country's famed Angkor temple complex, officials said Saturday -- the latest nude stunt by tourists to spark anger.

Lindsey Adams, 22, and her 20-year-old sister Leslie were discovered taking "nude pictures" inside the Preah Khan temple at the world heritage site on Friday, the Apsara Authority -- the government agency managing the Angkor complex -- said in a statement.

"The two tourists admitted that they really made a mistake by taking nude photos," the statement read.

It is the second time in the last fortnight that tourists visiting the sprawling temple complex have been caught without their clothes.

Every tourist gets information about customs, traditions, special tours and the laws of their destination places.

How on earth such idiots think they can flaunt unacceptable behavior and get away with it, is beyond my understanding.

Jail them for a time and ban them from ever entering the country after they have been deported.

Victimless crime, can I borrow someone else's outrage for use in this topic?, I seem to have misplaced mine.

I can't agree that it is victimless. Angkor is a deeply spiritual place and the victims are those to whom it serves it's original purpose as a temple. It is not just there as a tourist destination, although I'll grant you that tourists outnumber worshipers these days.

What silly 'little girl' behaviour those two have demonstrated ....     One would think that they were old enough to have learned a little about the country they were visiting.  Even that aside, taking photographs of themselves naked says a lot about them and their lack of dignity for themselves and their families.

A little self control wouldn't hurt them either, they must have forgotten that such a 'display' will stay on the web forever now if that is where they placed the photographs.  Have they done that?

Some people dont seem to understand the importance of being aware of respectful behaviour, and modifying their needs within certain situations..

A few years ago, I went on a tour of Auschwitz-Birkenau and there was an Italian woman who ignored the signs saying No Smoking- every time we left a building, she would light up...and then throw the butt on the ground when she finished.

I was very upset, and, yes, I did have a quiet word with her.

Some people certainly don't, E.

It might have been wrong of them, but why leave out these parts?

"They lowered their pants to their knees and took pictures of their buttocks,"

Not exactly nude is it.

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

And this....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.

I know the answer. Whatever. If it makes everyone happy.....

Their passports were stripped pending an investigation. The 2 woman have hired an attorney.
