Nudist park holds bash to attract younger crowd: LOXAHATCHEE, Fla. — The South Florida Sun Sentinel reported that Sunsport Gardens will hold a weekend bash aimed at attracting nudists ages 18 to 30. The Florida Young Naturist’s fourth annual End of Summer Naked Bash is slated to be a celebration of nudity and body acceptance.

Sunsport Gardens principal shareholder Morley Schloss tells the paper the park has been trying to bring in younger members with lower prices, 24-hour hot tubs and Friday-night drum circles. The event is expected to draw several hundred young adults.

DC man orders TV, gets assault rifle instead: WASHINGTON — A Washington musician who ordered a flat-screen TV from Amazon.com was shocked to receive a semiautomatic assault rifle instead.

Seth Horvitz says he purchased the TV from a third-party seller. A box recently arrived from UPS, and it seemed too small to contain the TV. He says he initially thought it contained accessories.

But when he opened it, he found a Sig Sauer military-style rifle. He said he had never held a gun before he felt the trigger of the rifle. An invoice showed the gun was intended for a firearms dealer in Duncansville, Pa. Horvitz called police, who took the gun and are investigating.
