We've all heard a lot about American casuality and informaltiy, haven't we? We've heard that they love to use first names soon after having met a person, that they feel uncomfortable with the titles Mr. and Ms., and we've heard that American casuality can also be seen in the way US citizens dress. In Mr. Kohls' text about the 13 values it says that in America you're very likely to meet people dressed in blue jeans if you go to a symphony performance. But some Americans seem to feel that this is not casual enough ;)
See what happened in Nürnberg, Germany. A 41 year old American wandered through the pedestrian area of the city. You wonder what's strange about that? Well, he was naked. Of course, people felt annoyed by that and called the police who told the man to put his clothes on (he had them with him in a bag) and then took him to a police station for an interrogation. The permissive man claimed he didn't know that this was illegal in Germany and that he just wanted to know what it feels like to walk through a town naked.
Police tested him for drugs and alcohol, both tests were negative.
The tourist had to pay a fine and will now be sued because of indecent behavior.

Great story! :)
But I don't think that Americans would tolerate naked people shopping for groceries.
(maybe he just wanted to get attention and have his picture in the newspaper..)
I don't think so either... But it still is very very funny ;)
