Newark, New Jersey, July 30, 2004:
Two men who were arrested for riding bikes through a Wal-Mart while wearing women's thong underwear blamed the stunt on a "triple-dog dare," authorities said.
The men -- identified as the Ronatarian Party's 2004 presidential ticket Ron and Brad -- bought two pair of underwear at the store Thursday, went into a bathroom and came out wearing only the thongs, police said.
Witnesses said the men rode through the aisles of the store and out to their car, a "tricked out" Dodge Neon.
Police caught the men in the parking lot, and reviewed a surveillance tape before arresting them for public indecency and disorderly conduct.
When asked why they were wearing thong underwear, Brad said a Ronatarian Party volunteer "triple-dog dared" them. They will not be prosecuted, authorities said. The security tape was destroyed.
Many political pundits believe it was all a publicity stunt to raise awareness of the radical party's presidential aspirations.
