SALT LAKE CITY -- A protest of Utah's uptight laws that featured people running through the streets of Salt Lake City in their underwear has set a new world record.

Guinness World Records says the Utah Undie Run broke the previous record for largest gathering of people wearing only underpants or knickers by 1,720 people.

Records officials say 2,270 people stripped to their underwear during the Utah Undie Run on Sept. 24. The previous record of 550 people was set last year in Great Britain.

Utah Undie Run organizers are planning another run next August. The event's goal is to protest the state's conservative politics.

Organizers prohibit nudity. Participants donned bras, panties, nightgowns, swimwear or colorful boxer shorts.

Too much is placed on BARE BODIES OR CLOSE TO IT. If we didn't have such a hang up on the body and its parts - many of the problems that are associated with it would be diminished or eliminated entirely.

Judging by the gut of the guy there he is only there to try and pick one out that he likes and stalk her!

If they need freedom and less laws about being decent, they can always move to Sodom or Gomorrah! Even better, go to Vegas, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas....Mostly your money........

My god, I need the eye bleach. Men, no matter how fit, should not wear Speedos or anything pink. I may never recover.

He could show off whatever he likes without donning a french cut Speedo. European men may think they look fabulous but I hate them. They look stupid on men. And pink...really.

....and THIS is how Liberals define themselves!!!???? Not surprising at all. Yep. When you've proven to be politically incompetent, resort to doing something absolutely and absurdly stupid. There ya go.

One (albeit large) group of people protest in a new and mostly interesting way and somehow they "define" an entire political movement. I'd say that's such a typical conservative judgement but I know plenty of conservative republicans who would have joined in on this march if they could have. Why not just lighten up for once, not tie everything to national politics and you know, stop judging people you don't know.

No the wall street protesters also make the case that liberals are absurdly stupid. Code Pink makes a pretty good case, too. And Obama's comment about those shovel ready jobs were not shovel ready - stupid. Biden - need I say more? And that is just 4 examples and I just woke up. Let me get my caffeine and I'll give you a lot more.

There apprears to be some citizens in that strange land locked country known as Utah, inhabitated by subversive Christians, that are ready to revolt against the their radical right leaders.
