Short Stuff: SINA

This episode dives into one of America's greatest hoaxes: the Society for Indecency to Naked Animals, a 1950s movement that convinced over 50,000 people to literally clothe animals because nudity was supposedly immoral. Josh and Chuck reveal how comedian Alan Abel orchestrated this elaborate four-to-six-year prank using actor Buck Henry as the organization's president, even getting him on national TV shows like the Today Show and CBS News with Walter Cronkite to earnestly advocate for putting pants on horses and dogs. It's a fascinating story about how a joke designed to mock America's uptight moral culture somehow became a real grassroots movement that no amount of ridiculous demands could kill.
