Update: just as I suspected, media coverage of the protests against Bonzai sushi bar's monthly Naked Sushi have only fueled the public's interest in eating raw fish off the naked torsos of nude Saran-wrapped Asian women.

Bonzai, based in Seattle, is only one of the city's more unusual attractions - if you're in a more spiritual mood, there's always the Beer Church.

Checking my site referrals for the past week or so, fully one out of every ten searches contained the words "naked" or "sushi." Some even look for "Chicago Naked Sushi," so it's only a matter of time before someone in the Windy City gets wise and starts their own Naked Sushi Night.

Just don't anyone go slicing up Granddad, the 70-year-old Shedd Aquarium lungfish.
