A mass mooning even was dispersed by police after 8,000 people showed up to flash their bums at passing trains.
The annual Mooning Amtrak event in the California town of Laguna Niguel was shut down for the first time in its 29-year-history after complaints that people were flashing more than just their bottoms.
Police spokesman Jim Amormino said the authorities were forced to cancel the event after deeming it out of control when female mooners began lifting up their t-shirts and other participants started stripping naked.
Begun after a pub dare back in 1979 when a drinker at nearby Mugs Away Saloon said he would buy all his friends a drink if they ran outside and 'greeted' a passing train, it is now so famous it even has its own website.
Held on the second Saturday in July, the event has gained more and more participants each year.
