Apparently he&#8217;d greased himself with vaseline beforehand. After he was crash-tackled by security, the players continued around him and scored a try that was later disallowed due to the interruption. Most of sports-mad Australia are now debating whether what he did was funny or worthy of lynching.<\/p>\n<p>The always classy <a href=\"http:\/\/www.news.com.au\/national-news\/nsw-act\/origin-streaker-wati-holmwood-says-hes-sorry-before-embarking-on-a-10km-walk-of-shame-to-get-home\/story-fnii5s3x-1226681104647\">News.com.au followed Wati to the police station<\/a> where he was charged with &#8220;wilful and obscene exposure&#8221;, given a pair of shorts and told to go home. The errant streaker then walked 10km home.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook pages have been set up calling him a &#8220;legend&#8221; and seeking to raise money to pay his various fines. As you can see in the above video, a lot of people found the streak amusing.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s interesting is the number of comments about Wati&#8217;s weight. A commentator said he was sprinting across the field \u2018\u2018like there was a free buffet beneath the goalposts.\u2019\u2019 The sports pages haven&#8217;t hesitated to use the word fat when describing him, although <a href=\"http:\/\/www.smh.com.au\/rugby-league\/state-of-origin\/origin-streakers-family-defend-nice-guy-20130718-2q5tv.html\">this piece<\/a> about his family&#8217;s reaction only calls him &#8220;big&#8221;. I can imagine that if Wati had been a woman there would probably have been more of an uproar; female streakers are often lauded when they&#8217;re good looking but abused if they&#8217;re not.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-3987\" alt=\"stateoforiginstreaker2013_2\" src=\"https:\/\/msnaughty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/stateoforiginstreaker2013_2.jpg\" width=\"520\" height=\"293\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I like streaking because it is a glorious show of nudity that is not sexual or threatening. Streaking is a long way from flashing or sexual stalking. It&#8217;s often impulsive and surrounded by a sense of silliness and fun. It&#8217;s about breaking the taboo that says being naked in public is wrong. The fact that we still have &#8220;wilful and obscene exposure&#8221; laws that are purely to prosecute public nudity is a shame.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also good for us. We get to see a naked body in all of its realness, jiggling about the place with no airbrushing, no nice poses, no pre-determined ideas of what is attractive. Just pure humanity.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t care if it interrupts a sporting match. Sport is just a game, albeit one bathed in ludicrous amounts of money. We need to be reminded that it&#8217;s just entertainment, in the end.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There may be other news happening in Australia at the moment but all anyone&#8217;s interested in is the streaker who appeared in the final stages of last night&#8217;s State of Origin rugby league match.
