When thousands of people took to the streets of Salt Lake City in their underwear, they were not just hoping to break records.
Wearing just boxers, panties and bras, are the crowds of people said they were there to break stereotypes.
Salt Lake City is the home of the Mormon church, which is a vocal opponent of gay marriage and a bastion of conservatism.
The annual event, called the 'Utah Undie Run' encouraged people to paint their naked torsos with messages about gay rights and other causes.
'We've all heard it for years, Utah is boring, Utahans are uptight... well it's time to change all that, at least for a night,' the group wrote on its website.
Organisers said that they wanted the state, which tightened up its liquor laws earlier this month, to loosen up.
The group is set to enter the Guinness Book of Records if the run is verified.
Organisers estimate that 3,000 people turned up in their underwear, beating the previous record of 55.

Never understood the attraction in that sort of lark. Each to their own though...

Damn, was that this weekend? Every year I say I'm going to come down and every year I let it pass by.

Yeah, I meant that I always forget that it's coming up and never end up making plans to go.

From 55 participants last time to 3000 participants this time?
