Streakers at the Superbowl

Not long ago on NP Radio Saturday morning program “WAIT WAIT, DON’T TELL ME.” Mark Roberts was mentioned and his big disappointment.

The other day on The Today Show it was said that TV time for commercials during the Super Bowl cast about $100,000 a second. Ten second is a million bucks. Not bad.


After a little Google searching: Mark Roberts is a devoted streaker. He has streaked at just about every notable national sports event for a while. As of 2009 he has streaked 380 times. Mark is British and father of three.

What would drive a person to streak in front of thousands of people? I think his back has the answer. I read there is a big tattoo on his back which has a name of big gambling casino operation.

Do you think that he might just be a running billboard?

I haven’t read that he has a tattoo on his front side or not. I doubt it, I doubt if the eyes are on his chest

I suppose at the XXXVIII Super Bowl, in Houston, February 1, 2004, Mark had plans on running out across the playing field and earning some big bucks.

Unfortunately for Mark, he chose to run after the half time shows, which Janet Jackson had a “wardrobe malfunction” at.




Janet overshadowed Mark. Mark’s streaking was hardly noticed.

Mark is no longer allowed in the United States. But Janet is.
