Wolf Whistles work? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I've never been to NZ but after reading this article I'm practicing my whistle and checking airfares.

WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Road workers in a small New Zealand town got their wish granted when a woman stripped saying she was fed up with their wolf-whistles.

The Israeli tourist was about to use an ATM in the main street of Kerikeri, in the far north of the country, when the men whistled, the New Zealand Press Association reported.

She calmly stripped off, used the cash machine, before getting dressed and walking away.

The woman told police she didn't take too kindly to the whistling from the men repairing the road.

"She said she had thought 'bugger them, I'll show them what I've got'," Police Sergeant Peter Masters told NZPA.

"She gave the explanation that she had been ... pestered by New Zealand men. She's not an unattractive looking lady," Masters said.

"She was taken back to the police station and spoken to and told that was inappropriate in New Zealand."

I gotta say I'm a little confused, she got tried of them whistling at her so she punished them by giving them what they wanted?

Does this make sense?

I wonder how long it took for the cops to get a copy of the ATM machines tape?

I wanna know who the schmuck was who tipped off the police.

I like that kind of punishment.

Granted, I would never be so disrespectful to a woman I didn't know. Why would you be disrespectful to women you know? If I knew her well enough, and she knew me well enough, then she knows that a whistle, a hoot, or a lude remark is the testosterone's way of telling her I think she looks stunningly beautiful.

Someone who doesn't take too kindly to public nudity I wager.

What's that got to do with it?

I think those guys loved that she was the kind of woman with 2 breasts willing to strip over something as inane as this. Israeli or not.

edit: also, this is the first time I've heard the term "wolf whistles"

i´m a bit curious as to why it´s relevant enough to the story to report that she´s israeli.

Halx · 05-26-2008, 10:17 AM

I work with a slew of Israelis. They're not very formal.
