'Boobs on bikes' parade

WELLINGTON - A New Zealand court has allowed a parade of topless porn stars on motor bikes to proceed on the main street of the country's biggest city, local media said on Tuesday.

Auckland City Council had sought a court injunction to stop the "Boobs on Bikes" parade, scheduled for yesterday, saying it breached a bylaw banning offensive public events.

But Judge Nicola Mathers said while opponents may find the parade offensive or tasteless, the fact that 80 000 people had gathered for a similar event last year meant a significant number of people did not agree with the critics, New Zealand Press Association said.
