Was she offended or titillated?

You've heard the old joke about the woman who calls the police complaining that a neighbor is exposing himself. The officer arrives, looks out her window and informs the woman that he can see nothing. To which she replies, "Well, you can if you stand up on this box."

You might think that woman exists only as a figment of tacky humor. But in fact she's alive and well and living in Canada:

The woman said she spotted Clark while she was watching television with her two young daughters in their family room.
She alerted her husband, and the couple observed Clark from their darkened bedroom for 10 or 15 minutes -- also using binoculars and a telescope -- before summoning the police ...

The Supreme Court of Canada yesterday overturned Mr. Clark's conviction for indecency.

By the way, having had his member disparaged by the suggestion that it's viewable only by telescope, I wonder if Mr. Clark can now sue for slander.
