pose nude, save your job?

Hey, remember that movie The Full Monty? Well, now the story is coming to France, as factory workers in the town of Ploufragan have posed for a nude calendar in an attempt to get some publicity and call attention to their plight. After finding out that they would be facing layoffs where 207 of the factory’s 251 workers would likely be laid off, some of the men at the factory decided to, er, make the best of things. The calendars are currently selling for 7 euros each. As for the response?

Ludovic L’Hostellier, 32, is “Mr. February.” His nude pose is in a big box whose lid is closing on him. The box is labeled Chaffoteaux.

“It represents the company closing, just like the box I’m in,” he explained by phone.

He said his wife was pleased with the photos and “we have had only good reactions” to the calendar.” He said if he does lose his job at the end of the year, he will look for another immediately. “We can’t live without working,” he said.
