You Can't Unsee It!

All journalists have a list of stories that they will carry with them forever. However, on the back of that list is another list. A list of stories they wish could be wiped from their memories. This story from 2009 was one of those. 

I liked to think I was a pretty open-minded guy, so when I was sent to a nudest colony to shoot a world record attempt for skinny dipping, I wasn't terribly concerned. I won't go into too much detail, but let's just say your typical nudest isn't exactly someone you'd want to see in the buff. This day was spent surrounded by hundreds of them.

Because it can never be forgotten, I might as well watch it one more time. Feel free to join me below, but remember... you will never be able to unsee it. (Since it aired on the news, it's obviously "safe for work.")

The only thing more difficult than repressing memories from that day was making sure I didn't accidentally show something I wasn't supposed to... and making the shots blurry actually made it harder! I kept thinking I was seeing things that weren't there.  I must have watched it twenty times, and made others watch it too, just to be sure it wouldn't be my last story with the station.
