I don't think two naked people could contaminate *millions* of gallons. There's a dilution factor.

As for the ladies, I bet they walked around in panties once and the guy got obsessed with them. They should have had a chance to respond to that allegation in the article.

The real scary thing is that the Portland Water Bureauhas a blog and they're not afraid to use it.

OK, that's now the third time the Queen Anne peeping couple story has come up on the Slog since yesterday. Just sayin'.

Whoops--I guess I should have noticed ECB's sizable post on the subject that drew 53 comments. Sorry.

I was just hoping there might have been some follow-up, or even a response from "the girls," as 1 suggested. Same old silliness, though.

@2 -- Hahaha.

Man, I'd flush the drinking water, too, after getting a look at those two stinky hipsters. Imagine if their DNA had gotten into the gene pool, let alone the swimming pool...everyone in Portland would have suddenly started listening to Avid or Naked Violence, wearing Kucinich buttons and stumbling toward the Ace Hotel bar like zombies.

Throw the book at 'em!

@1 Two naked people with something that could replicate in water could very easily contaminate many pieces of water.

@3 is right, ECB freaked out over this yesterday ...

So, if a pair of naked humans can potentially befoul an entire reservoir's worth of water, what do PWB officials think happens when literally hundreds of ducks, geese et al swim around in that same reservoir day after day?

Good. Freaking. Lord.

So much for the liberal Pacific Northwest.

That picture looks extremely sticky. I hope they used gold bond powder.

That guy in the photo? 225 from the left, 642 down from the top?

Hotness!

@9: There are several very worrisome human-specific viruses that ducks and other fowl do not seem to be able to transmit. Livestock, yes. Ducks, no.

It's tragic when innocent neighbors minding their own business with binoculars and a flashlight are forced to see nubile young things prancing around nude inside their house.

I faced a similar situation when attractive young girls at the mall were forcing me to stare at their underpants when I was walking around with mirrors on my shoes. And you wouldn't believe the disgusting things these shameless hussies make me to look at on the toilet cams that I've secretly installed in restaurant bathrooms.

"walking around with mirrors on my shoes"

Holy crap, you mean I wasn't the only one who did that?

I grew up swimming in a reservoir in MA that supplied Boston with drinking water, along with every other kid in my town. Is Portland's reservoir miraculously free of birdshit, fish poop and so on?

schmader, can you please reserve the double and triple postings for boring restaurants, i.e. skillet, joule, presse?

Does this water taste like ass to you? Or is it just me?

Jeez, Ash @ 20, did Joule rape your mom or something?

That photo rates a big EW! All that B.O. and farting and pussy and buttholes squished together. Looks like a giant herpes infection or MRSA or something. Oh, and don't forget all those feet too! P.U. squared!

schmader, i wish that were true, then there'd be a reason to read about it over and over again.

@24: Glad to have that commentary by our resident eight-year-old.

I always thought that drinking water and other water was treated somehow so it was clean and safe to drink, but they say that the Portland reservoirs are open to the air and they go right from there to your faucet??? Is that normal? I'm feeling the need to be more OCD now.
