Obama Gets Book Thrown at Him, Possibly by Naked Man

Obama Gets Book Thrown at Him, Possibly by Naked Man Someone threw a book at President Obama during a rally in Philadelphia on Sunday. And as if that wasn't weird enough, police had to eject this naked guy, who was trying to win a million bucks for a publicity stunt:

According to the Weekly Standard, this nude gentleman is 24-year-old Juan James Rodriguez, and the words on his chest are "battlecam.com." Yes, Rodriguez is attempting to claim the $1 million offered by billionaire entrepreneur Alki David to the first person to streak at an Obama event, provided that his video-sharing website is written on the streaker's chest. (Oh, dear, did we just aid this "wacky publicity stunt" and send traffic to David's terrible video-sharing website? Whoops.) Alki told the Standard that he has every intention of paying up, once he sees the video.

As for the book, well, it probably wasn't thrown by Rodriguez, though The Daily Mail is willing to leave it at "it is not clear if the man was involved in the book-throwing incident." Here's a close-up:
