As one knows about the act of streaking (running around naked), yet there has been cases when someone goes for it for whatever reasons. This can be on purpose as a prank or dare, but it can also by accident, i.e. when clothes are missing for some reason. Some streakers can chose to show off their whole bodies while others opts for a [[Hand or Object Underwear]] often if by accident. This can also by the case in the event of [[Scenery Censor]], where it's left up to the viewers.

** In 1974, a man named [[w:Robert Opel|Robert Opel]] managed to get backstage at the [[Academy Award]]s and ran nude across the stage behind actor [[David Niven]] as he was about to introduce [[Elizabeth Taylor]]. Despite Niven's quip, quoted at the top of the page, Opel briefly became a celebrity and he was even ''hired'' to streak at a Hollywood party on at least one occasion. In 1976 he ran for President of the United States, and used the slogans "Nothing to Hide" and "Not Just Another Crooked Dick".
