Robert Burck, the Naked Cowboy and presidential hopeful, has been arrested... for wearing his undies in public, no less. This isn't his first time, either—when he went to San Francisco in 2008 he was taken in for the same thing. Now the NY Post reports that some Long Islanders didn't care much for the half-naked man in their quaint North Shore village. Burck was busted in Port Jefferson over the weekend for performing his usual schtick—North Shore village code-enforcement officer Wally Tomaszewski told the paper, "It's not conducive to our environment." more ›

Bad Idea Underwear! The Naked Cowboy (real name Robert Burck) is tossing his Stetson in the ring and planning to run for Mayor against Bloomberg. His platform, The Post reports, is "Bringing transparency to a whole new level." Sounds just like something a long hair would say. Sure, Burck has made a nice little business for himself in Times Square, but can he parlay that into a smart stimulus plan for small businesses (something he says will be part of his Mayoral package)? He also plans to bring innovative ideas to tax breaks, tourism, gay marriage, transit and homeland security. He declares, "No one knows how to do more with less than yours truly, and that's the kind of thinking I plan on sharing with my fellow New Yorkers when you elect me." He'll be making his official statement tomorrow in Times Square at 11 a.m. Would you vote for Naked Mayor? more ›

Don't tell the Naked Cowboy to "go back to Ohio," because someone in his hometown of Greenhills doesn't want him back. Reportedly a mayoral candidate there, Pat Andwan, is urging city council members to protest Robert Burck's performance at the Greenhills Summer Festival tomorrow, saying "it's an inappropriate venue for a man who wears only underwear." She called his behavior both "indecent" and "deviant." But the current Mayor, Oscar Hoffman, told the Cincinnati Enquirer, "I have no problem with the Naked Cowboy. Nobody on council has a problem with it. He doesn't do anything immoral. It's just a catchy name." Burck plans to go on with the show as planned; he added that Andwan was a "lunatic," but from his experience he's also "aware there are people out there who are not underwear-friendly." more ›

The self-proclaimed World's Greatest Performer, the Naked Cowboy, must have gotten a sweet settlement deal from the M&M folks. The NY Post is reporting that "he kept mum yesterday after settling a $4 million lawsuit against the Mars candy company. The underwear-clad busker, whose real name is Robert Burck, declined comment except to say 'the matter has been resolved' after pulling his case from Manhattan federal court." The tighty-whitey tough guy brought his wrath down on the company after he noticed a blue M&M wearing his trademark outfit on a big screen outside of their Times Square shop. He later declared on the Today Show: "Type II diabetes and childhood obesity is epidemic. I am the opposite of that. I don’t endorse that product." more ›
