Public Displays Of Affection

Just a few weeks ago we asked for our Friday dilemma whether it’s okay for couples to snog in the park. But yesterday The NT News reported that a couple of Darwinians are taking the whole PDA thing a little too far.

Was a nice balmy day in Darwin. Picture: Michael Franchi

“City office workers watched in disbelief yesterday as a couple went for it on the balcony of a Darwin apartment,” the story reported. Luckily (?) The NT News had a camera there to capture it for all of us and spread it around the Internet. They even took a video which they’ve laid some Bold and the Beautiful¬-esque music over.

The couple are seen dancing and. . . um, well they certainly, erm well, um, ended up doing one saucy foxtrot. In broad daylight. So this brings us to this week’s Friday dilemma. Doing it in public: yes/no?
