An age-old quandary in moral philosophy

This morning, I went in to a local coffee shop for breakfast. Near the entryway, a gentleman sat at a table with a young lady, presumably on a coffee date. His back faced the front window of the shop, and he was perched upon a high-seated bar stool. Consequently, the crack of his ass was decidedly on display, at the same eye-level to the street as the croissants and other baked goods in the adjacent window which adjoined the front counter. Was it my civic duty to inform him of his plight? If so, should my civic duty outweigh my desire to not be bothered? If I did decide to bother, how best then to do so entertainingly? My best idea at the time was: "hey dude - not saying your ass isn't a novel form of advertising that might even appeal to some window shoppers, but this isn't Amsterdam, so it might not fly with the municipal authorities." For the record: like any moral philosopher worthy of the title, by the time I resolved to say anything, they'd already left. Also for the record: yes, I am aware the line would've been far too wordy to succeed, but at least now it makes for an equally excessively wordy post.
