Doing the deed, helping the hungry

Doing the deed, helping the hungry - News

While it still remains true that you will never get something for nothing, one New Jersey Adult novelty store is giving out free pornography.

Playtime in Edison is doing its part to combat hunger with its fourth annual can goods drive Food for Porn.

The owner of Playtime, Deirdre Krasner and fellow employees, became concerned with fighting hunger in the state after reading an article about the phenomenon called "charity fatigue."

After September 11, many food pantries in the area were empty with most people giving charity to other efforts, explains manager Mike Drake. The effort has resulted in hundreds of cans being donated in the last four years.

In the drive's second year, over a thousand cans were collected, and Drake hopes to beat that record with this years drive.

He recalls in the first two years when Playtime had a hard time finding a place to donate the cans they received, because they were an adult store.

"While its great to have fun with the idea 'Food for Porn,' " Drake commented, "hunger is no laughing matter; not just in Africa or China but right here in New Jersey, there are hundreds of children going to bed without having had any food, and that's no laughing matter."

The promotion works simple enough: If someone over the age of 21 brings in a can of food into the store that is over 13 ounces that is not dented or expired, they get a pornographic DVD. While the donator cannot choose the exact title, they can choose between gay, lesbian or straight blind packaged porn. Donations will be taken from September to November.

"I've never seen anything like this before; it's great. I'm getting porn for a good deed," said one Rutgers-New Brunswick student that did not want to be named while dropping off his donation.

Drake said that quite a few Rutgers University students have supported the effort.

The project has drawn support from not only locals, but some celebrities like Angus Oblong, cartoonist and father of the Adult Swim animated show, and popular adult film actress Sabrina Sparx.

Sparx also appears on their famous Adult Star Path of Fame with notable names like Jenna Jameson, Ron Jeremy, Tera Patrick, and Paris Hilton. The actress appears along with others in commercials promoting Food for Porn on www.Xtube.com.

Food donated is received by Starfish Food Pantry, INC of Plainfield at Covenant United Methodist Church. Church Director Linda Stanbach could not be reached for a comment.

Bras and knickers appear like magic

KELLY SCHICKER/Waikato Times

NAUGHTY NEIGHBOURHOOD: Pukete's Roy Wood has been bemused to find an unsolicited roadside underwear collection is growing faster than his neighbour's new grass.

Dodgy tales of underwear going missing off lines in the dead of night are old-hat.

Far more curious is the suburban phenomenon of random knickers and bras suddenly appearing on a line overnight - which has perplexed the residents of Ronald Ct, Pukete.

- Weird things started happening in the cul-de-sac about three weeks ago when Dave Lattimore planted a new front lawn and erected lines with plastic bags across it to keep the birds off.

A few nights later a pair of black female knickers appeared, pegged to the line.

Gradually, all sorts of unmentionables were added in the dead of night, until the street front at No 26 now looks like an ad from an Elle Macpherson catalogue. The range includes a black suspender belt, pink g-string, corset and 40C white bra.

"Every second day some more appear," Mr Lattimore said. "I figure if I leave it long enough I'll have some matching sets. Either that or do the Cinderella thing and go knocking on doors to ask if we can see what fits."

Neighbour Roy Wood is just as bemused.

"People must walk past and drop their knickers," he said. "They're like that around here."

But he didn't fancy a Cinderella survey.

"Some of this is more ugly sister stuff," he said, fingering a massive black bra. "It's been designed for an elephant."

The mystery underwear is intriguing the street's women as well. The Times listened in as several of Ronald Ct's female residents speculated on which of their neighbours was responsible for the pink g-string.

"Must be Trudy," they said.

Celebrity porn broker kills self at Phoenix home

Celebrity porn broker kills self at Phoenix home

BEIJING, Sept. 30 (Xinhuanet) -- A celebrity porn broker who agreed to plead guilty for allegedly demanding over 1 million U.S. dollars from actor Tom Cruise for stolen wedding photos, committed suicide at his home, media reported Sunday.

David Hans Schmidt, dubbed the "Sultan of Sleaze," was arrested in July for trying to extort Cruise for the stolen photos of his 2006 Italian wedding to actress Katie Holmes.

Schimidt was found dead in his townhouse in Phoenix around 3 p.m. Friday after police noticed a tracker placed on him following his arrest had not moved and he had not checked in for "some time," said Lt. Anthony Lopez, a Phoenix police spokesman.

The 47-year-old broker was expected to enter a formal guilty plea during an Oct. 11 hearing in a Los Angeles-area federal court and faced up to two years in prison.

Nancy Kardon, Schmidt's attorney, told the media that she spoke with her client two days ago to discuss strategy and the prospects of keeping him out of prison.

"He was optimistic that we would do what was necessary to get him probation," Kardon said. "I think he really felt like we had a shot."

Schmidt is best known for arranging the sale of celebrity sex tapes and nude photos. He has been trying to auction off Paris Hilton's diaries, along with photos of her in various stages of undress and other personal items that had been locked away in a Los Angeles-area storage locker until a few months ago.

Saudi divorces wife for watching male TV host: report

Saudi divorces wife for watching male TV host: report

A Saudi man divorced his wife for watching alone a television programme presented by a male, an act he deemed immoral, the Al Shams newspaper reported on Saturday.

The man, whom the paper did not identify, ended his marriage on the grounds his wife was effectively alone with an unrelated man, which is forbidden under the strict Islamic law enforced in the ultra-conservative kingdom, the paper said.

Men in Saudi Arabia have the authority to divorce their wives without resort to the courts.

My Friend is a Prostitute. And I Can't Stop Her.

My Friend is a Prostitute. And I Can't Stop Her. | Progressive U

We have been friends since freshmen year in high school. Now, she's in college. Today, she came out to me that she is able to pay for her own tuition...through prostitution.

Let's call her Nevada. Nevada is smart, funny and very loyal. She was one of the top 5% in the school and everything. I've always thought prostitution as something girls should not do...despite how desperate they are. There are tons of other decent jobs that a girl can do without giving herself away.

She told me that money is not the only thing prostitutes like her are seeking. Pleasure, lust and a little bit of adventure all play huge roles in her decision. There are many girls her age who are in this industry as well. She has many older friends who are in this business because they have kids to feed. Their husbands do not earn enough money to pay for their rent. Some of their husbands are even prostitutes themselves. Many places wouldn't hire them for decent jobs due to their lack in education and experience. Many of these prostitutes are actually proud with their occupation though.

I asked her if her parents knew about it. Nevada told me that she wouldn't dare to make such heartbreaking confession to her parents and asked me to keep this secret. She further explained how some of her friends started to act weird around her...especially the guys due to the fact that one of our friends ran into her at the strip club once. So, I'm guessing some of our friends already stopped talking to her.

During our conversation, I tried to get her to change her mind because it's illegal. But she told me it was useless because she is really passionate about prostitution. And she knows how to keep herself safe. Nevada even joked about becoming a porn star too. I had to laugh. She was still the same person I knew back in high school. Sure, her job isn't really acceptable by the society. But she is my friend and I will support her even if I don't agree with her philosophy. What else can I do for her? If I refused her like other people, I'm sure she won't have anyone to fall on. That's even worst. I'm worried about her. At the same time, I want her to be happy. It's not like she's hurting anyone. So for now, this will just be our little secret.

Some Verbs You Can't Trademark (Other Ones You Can)

Some Verbs You Can't Trademark (Other Ones You Can)

I just read a ridiculous story on Sexual Intelligence about comedian and amateur t-shirt designer Cathy Lynn Carlson. A while back Cathy attempted to trademark the phrase “You Cum Like A Girl” for T-shirts, tank tops, scarves, and other clothing. Cathy's request was denied, she appealed, and last week she lost the appeal. In the ruling (which you can read here) the attorney assigned to this case concluded that the request could be denied under the exemption for “immoral, deceptive, or scandalous matter.” Specifically the term "cum" was considered scandalous because it is "vulgar" slang for "semen ejaculated during orgasm.” To support their case, the lawyer submitted both dictionary definitions and text taken from pornographic websites. The denial of appeal document explains...

This attached evidence illustrates the predominant connotation of the term CUM. The term is directly associated with degrading sexual acts involving girls being ejaculated on, and girls who are themselves ejaculating. As illustrated, the term CUM is clearly shocking to the sense of decency and is offensive in the context of the clothing marketplace as applied to the goods described in the application.

Now I'm not sure how I feel about fighting for someone's right to trademark ANY phrase, but the obvious prejudice against sexual speech here should be addressed. After all isn't there some shoe company that trademarked the phrase "Just Do It". When I hear that phrase I immediately think of ejaculation. Doesn't everyone?

And for that matter, if we turn our attention away from verbs and towards pronouns, what about "It's the Real Thing". Again, I was always taught that "it", particularly "doing it" was all about sex. What does Coca Cola and Nike have that Cathy Lynn Carlson doesn't?

the Wedding

Here is a true story about a recent wedding that took place at Clemson University.

This was a huge wedding with about 300 guests. After the wedding, at the reception, the groom got up on stage at the microphone to talk to the crowd.

He said that he wanted to thank everyone for coming, many from long distances, to support them at their wedding.

He especially wanted to thank the bride's and groom's families for coming and to thank his new father-in-law for providing such a fabulous reception.

To thank everyone for coming and bringing gifts and everything, he said he wanted to give everyone a special gift from just him. So, taped to the bottom of everyone's chair was a manila envelope, including the wedding party.

He said that this was his gift to everyone, and told everyone to open the envelopes.

Inside each manila envelope was an 8x10 picture of his best man having sex with the bride. He had gotten suspicious of the two of them and hired a private detective to trail them weeks prior to the wedding.

After he stood there and watched the people's reactions for a couple of minutes, he turned to the best man and said "Screw you," he turned to the bride and said "Screw you," and then he turned to the dumbfounded crowd and said, "I'm out of here." He had the marriage annulled first thing that Monday morning.

While most of us would have broken off the engagement immediately after finding out about the affair, this guy goes through with it anyway as if nothing was wrong. His revenge?

Making the bride's parents pay over $32,000 for 300 guests at the wedding and reception, letting everyone know exactly what did happen, and, best of all, trashing the bride's and best man's reputations in front of all of their friends, their entire families, i.e. their parents, brothers, sisters, grandparents, nieces and nephews, etc.

This guy has balls the size of church bells. This is his world; we just live in it.

The Doctor

"Won't you kiss me, doctor," asks a beautiful woman.
"No, it would be against my code of ethics,"
says the doctor.
"Please just one kiss," begs the woman.
"It's completely out of the question," he goes on.
"I shouldn't even really be having sex with you."

Elton John photo snagged in child porn bust

Celebrity News - Elton John photo snagged in child porn bust

Acclaimed rocker Elton John has found himself swept up in a recent British child-pornography investigation after a photograph which belonged to the Rocket Man, one which featured two naked girls, was seized from a British art gallery on Tuesday.

British police seized a picture taken by American photographer Nan Goldin, which was entitled "Klara and Edda Belly-Dancing," The picture had been on display at an exhibition in the Baltic Gallery in the English town of Gateshead. A complaint had been lodged by one of the gallery's management, which sparked police to respond to the exhibit.

The Times of London quoted a police spokesperson who said that, "We attended the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art in Gateshead last Thursday at the invitation of the management, who were seeking advice about an item for an exhibition prior to it going on public display." The spokesperson noted, "This item is being assessed, and Northumbria Police, in consultation with the Crown Prosecution Service is investigating the circumstances surrounding it."

In a statement posted on Elton John's official Web site, the 60-year-old rocker noted that he purchased the picture from the White Cube Gallery in London back in 1999. "Klara and Edda Belly Dancing" was noted to be one of 149 separate pictures which comprised the "Thanksgiving" installation from Nan Goldin. John said in his statement that, "The photograph exists as part of the installation as a whole and has been widely published and exhibited throughout the world."

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member went on to say that, "It can be found in the monograph of Ms. Goldin's works entitled The Devil's Playground and has been offered for sale at Sotheby's New York in 2002 and 2004 and has previously been exhibited in Houston, London, Madrid, New York, Portugal, Warsaw and Zurich without any objections of which we are aware."

Data deleted in porn purge, Mesa Air says

Data deleted in porn purge, Mesa Air says

HONOLULU - Mesa Air Group said a company executive accidentally deleted computer data related to a lawsuit filed by Hawaiian Airlines while he was purging pornographic material.

Hawaiian Airlines alleges that Peter Murnane, chief financial officer of the Phoenix-based regional airline, destroyed evidence including Hawaiian's business plan.

That evidence, the carrier says, could show that Mesa Air misused confidential information to launch interisland carrier go! airlines.

Mesa put Murnane on administrative leave last week.

Hawaiian contends that Mesa Air violated a confidentiality agreement by using proprietary information it gathered as a potential investor during Hawaiian's bankruptcy.

During an evidentiary hearing Tuesday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Honolulu, Mesa attorney Max Blecher said any deletion of files was unintentional, and that Mesa Air has copies of the deleted files. The hearing continued Wednesday.

"He (Murnane) was cruising on adult Web sites," Blecher said, adding that Murnane was simply trying to delete the porn sites on three computers when the Hawaiian documents were deleted.

Hawaiian attorney Sidney Levinson called Mesa's reference to pornography "a transparent effort to distract the court's attention and undermine the credibility of one of Mesa's most senior officers."

"You have to wonder why Mesa thinks that smearing their own star witness with allegations of pornography benefits them," Levinson said.

Blecher said he's optimistic about Mesa's chances of prevailing when the trial begins.

"They can't point to anything deleted that doesn't exist," he said.

In addition to monetary damages, Hawaiian is seeking an injunction barring go! from selling tickets for one year.

Since go! started in June 2006, interisland airfares have dropped by as much as half which has affected the carriers' bottom lines. Hawaiian and Aloha lost a combined $82.1 million last year.

Dating in Saudi Arabia

NOW Magazine - Culture in Toronto, SEPTEMBER 27 - OCTOBER 3, 2007

Rich young women in heavy eye makeup and tight abayas, the over-garments worn by women in some Muslim countries, cruise in a rental car with tinted windows, a car they were able to procure by posing as men.

The car is surrounded by men who, recognizing that tinted windows mean female passengers, hang placards bearing their phone numbers out of their cars. The boldest men ask the women for permission to pose as relatives so they can hang out with them at the mall. The women contact the men via text message, foiling the religious police as well as their own families in this most conservative of Islamic countries.

Welcome to chick lit Arabic-style.

The Girls Of Riyadh, about the lives of four members of the Saudi "velvet class," brought infamy to its author, now a 25-year-old dentistry student in Chicago. Originally published in Lebanon in 2005, it was banned in Saudi Arabia and became a samizdat sensation, circulating in photocopied form throughout the desert kingdom.

If you can get past the vapid dialogue about sun signs, the novel offers fascinating insights into, and sharp criticism of, Saudi society. The women's dreams of marrying for love are undone by tribal customs. The men date Westernized women, then wed traditional girls chosen by their mothers. Women raised in traditional families have trouble adapting to Westernized husbands.

Despite the verses from the Quran scattered through the book, the pampered protagonists seem more interested in jet-setting and chasing boys.

Chick lit is dismissed in the West for its supposedly trivial subject matter. But in a country where dating and reading trashy novels are forbidden as "haram," Alsanea's novel is both social protest and an enjoyable read.

Crazy game lawyer sends porn to judge

Gay South Florida www.miamiherald.com/gay

That gurgling sound you hear could be Jack Thompson’s legal career swirling down the ‘loo.

The frequent video game critic, already facing professional misconduct charges from the Florida Bar which could see him stripped of his license to practice law, has outraged a U.S. District Court judge by including images of men having sex in a document filed with the court last week.

It’s difficult to fathom what Thompson was thinking, but here’s how it all, um, went down:

As GamePolitics has previously reported, Thompson has a pair of lawsuits underway against the Florida Bar in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. One of the cases, presided over by Judge Adalberto Jordan, has been the recipient of a flurry of motions by Thompson in recent weeks.

In a document filed with the court on September 19th, Thompson criticized the Bar for allegedly collaborating with Norm Kent, a criminal defense attorney from Fort Lauderdale. Thompson and Kent have a contentious legal history dating back nearly two decades. From Thompson’s motion:

The Bar’s demonstrable mindset is that the “enemy of my enemy is my friend,” as indicated by The Bar’s enthusiastic, recidivist collaboration with Mr. Kent, over a twenty year period, at Thompson’s expense. Lunacy proceedings have been sought and secured, Bar complaints have recently been maintained for nearly three years.

Kent, who publishes the National Gay News website, was criticized by Thompson in last week’s court filing for “distribution of hardcore porn to anyone of any age.” Not content to make that alleged point in writing, Thompson attached several gay porn pictures to his motion with Judge Jordan. The pictures apparently do not come directly from the National Gay News site, but rather are contained on sites linked from NGN’s adult links section.

In any case, His Honor was not amused.

In an order issued on Monday, Judge Jordan directed Thompson to show cause as to why he should not face sanctions, including possible contempt charges. Judge Jordan wrote:

The attached exhibit, which includes several graphic images of oral and genital sex between adult males, was filed electronically in the docket in this case, without prior permission from the court…

To the extent that the other attorney’s alleged conduct is in any way relevant… there was no need for Mr. Thompson to file these graphic images in the public record. A simple reference to the website and its alleged links would have sufficed…

Through his actions, Mr. Thompson made available for unlimited public viewing, on the court’s docketing system, these graphic images.

For this reason, by October 5, 2007, Mr. Thompson shall show cause why this incident should not be referred to the court’s Ad Hoc Committee on Attorney Admissions, Peer Review, and Attorney Grievance for appropriate action.

In the wake of Judge Jordan’s order, Thompson has filed (at last count) four responses. In the first, he proclaims that he is ready to go to jail over the issue:

Thompson may have more to say in his own defense as to his alleged contemptuous behavior, but at this juncture, with all respect, he does not apologize for nor regret what he has done… if this court desires to throw Thompson into jail for trying to sound the alarm in this dramatic fashion… then Thompson is prepared to go there.

In another response Thompson likens his actions to those of a rather more famous American:

To hold Thompson in contempt for alerting the federal court system to the criminal activity… is akin to arresting Paul Revere, in 1775, for “disturbing the peace” with his midnight ride…

GP has been unable to reach attorney Norm Kent for comment so far. Via e-mail, Thompson told GamePolitics:

I’m not the one in trouble. The judge found a certain lawyer’s material obscene. I absolutely love it. This is the best thing to happen to me in a long, long time. Check my [case] filings, sweetie.

We have, and this isn’t the first time Thompson has been warned by a court not to include suggestive photos in those case filings. An April 12th entry in the Florida Supreme Court docket covering the Florida Bar’s case against Thompson includes this notation:

…the Court notes that [Thompson] has attached inappropriate and pornographic materials to his petitions that are irrelevant to his arguments. Respondent is warned that should he continue to submit such inappropriate filings, the Court will consider imposing sanctions which may include, but are not limited to, a limitation on Respondent’s ability to submit further filings without the signature of an attorney other than himself.

GP: As we said earlier, it’s really hard to imagine what Thompson thought he might have been accomplishing by including the offending images.

What he has apparently succeeded in doing, however, is seriously upsetting the judge who must decide the merits of Thompson’s attempt to block the Florida Bar from taking action against his license to practice law.

Separate storm shelter for sex offenders debated in Louisiana

Separate storm shelter for sex offenders debated in Louisiana - USATODAY.com

BATON ROUGE (AP) — Baton Rouge is not a good place for a proposed shelter to house sex offenders during hurricanes, according to Police Chief Jeff LeDuff.

"We're not 150 miles inland. We're just a mere 50 miles inland ... Our power lines fail. Our trees fall. It burdens an already (overtaxed) Police Department," LeDuff told a study panel at the Capitol on Tuesday.

The committee of state officials was meeting for the first time to look at the issues involved in establishing a stand-alone shelter for registered sex offenders.

The state initially proposed locating a 300-bed shelter on state police training property near Zachary.

The Zachary site, which local officials objected to, is neither on nor off the table, said Mark Smith, spokesman for the Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness.

FIND MORE STORIES IN: Baton Rouge | Police Chief

Legislation to give parish officials a say in the location of an evacuation shelter for registered sex offenders stalled during the recent session.

Instead, lawmakers adopted a resolution to establish a committee to study the issue in light of a state law that calls for convicted sex offenders to be housed separately from a general population of evacuees.

The Zachary shelter is mired in a legal battle between state and local officials.

An appellate court recently ordered a state district judge to hold a full trial on what amounts to a conflict between two measures: the state law separating sex offenders from other evacuees and a Baton Rouge Metro Council ordinance forbidding shelters exclusively for sex offenders.

Survey: Most Happy With Sex Change Results, 90 Percent Of Those Who Have Male-To-Female Sex Change Operations Pleased, Study Shows

Survey: Most Happy With Sex Change Results, 90 Percent Of Those Who Have Male-To-Female Sex Change Operations Pleased, Study Shows - CBS News

(WebMD) Most people who undergo male-to-female sex change operations are pleased with the results despite some minor complications, according to the largest study ever of sex change results.

Researchers surveyed 222 patients who had sex change operations and found nearly 90 percent of them were happy with the results soon after surgery and nearly half were eventually able to achieve orgasm as a woman after a later follow-up.

The results suggest that most men who undergo a sex change to become a woman are happy with the cosmetic and functional results even though complications, such as vaginal hair growth and urinary problems, can occur.

Despite these problems, which were mainly minor and easily corrected by secondary surgery, 76 precent of the patients who provided detailed feedback were happy with the cosmetic result of their surgery and 80 percent said the surgery had met their expectations, says researcher Jonathan C. Goddard, MD, a urologist at University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust in the U.K., in a news release.

The description of the book on Amazon declares: "Now this is porn that will leave women begging for more!" God help us all if what really turns women on is a man separating the laundry. Seriously.

Sex and football

local

While the Badgers were scoring frequently in the second quarter of their victory over Washington State on Sept. 1, a young couple was scoring on their own in a stall in the women's restroom in the upper deck, resulting in a court appearance today on charges of disorderly conduct.

The man, 22, of the Grant County community of Stitzer, and woman, 23, of Madison, were initially cited by University Police for lewd and lascivious conduct, but those charges were later changed to disorderly conduct when the case went to the District Attorney's office. UW Assistant Police Chief Dale Burke, who measures his term of service in decades, said he cannot remember a similar incident at a Badger game in the past, but added "sex is a powerful, powerful motivator."

According to UW Police Officer Gerard Pehler, he was assisting a fan who had fallen due to heat exhaustion when a bystander approached and asked him, "Can you do anything about two having sex in the women's restroom stall?"

"They're going at it pretty good," added the fan.

Pehler asked a woman concession supervisor to go into the women's room and when she returned she reported she asked the couple to stop, but they didn't and told Pehler the restroom was cleared and he could enter.

The two were pulling up their pants when the officer arrived. "I asked them quite loudly to get out of the stall," Pehler says in his report of the incident. the woman still had her pants down and was struggling to pull them up, the officer said. "It should be noted that she was unsuccessful in the attempt because her pants were inside out," the officer said.

Because the UW has a policy in place to revoke season tickets of people who cause disturbances, the officer asked couple to produce their tickets and the man was able to find his -- the seats were in section KK -- but the woman couldn't find hers, what with her pants being inside out.

The pair were taken to the police office in the stadium and told they would be arrested for lewd and lascivious conduct when the man said they were "only peeing together."

When Officer Pehler was explaining the citation to the couple, the woman said, "Something to the effect, I know, I know, I did it," Pehler wrote in his report.

The man, on the other hand, said "whatever, no big deal."

Burke said in all the years he can remember he can't think of another instance of fans having sex at a game, "but we had something like that at the Kohl Center at a concert."

That couple was having sex in a family bathroom when arrested and taken to the police office, where officers were about to interview them separately, Burke recalled, "and the guy says (to the girl), 'By the way, what is your name?' "

The man and woman each face up to 90 days in jail and a possible fine of $1,000.

And they missed seeing the Badgers win, 42-21.

Disputed book available at Jackson-George libraries, if you ask

SunHerald.com : Disputed book available at Jackson-George libraries, if you ask

PASCAGOULA --

The Library Board for the Jackson-George Regional Library System voted 3 to 1 Tuesday night to make a best-selling book by comedian Jim Norton available to library patrons again upon request.

The book has been out of circulation since an Ocean Springs patron complained in August.

The Library System formed a review committee, which on Tuesday recommended the book again be made available to the public. It will not go back into general circulation.

Prior to the meeting, Library Board Chairman David Ables said the review committee tries to decide if a book is in keeping with the community's taste.

He said the libraries use the New York Times Best Seller List as a guide for purchasing books. But once or twice a year a book is challenged and is reviewed.

It is pulled from the shelves while under review.

Then it goes to the Library Board to decide what to do with it.

Before the meeting, Ables, who was on the review committee with the library system's director and several members of the library staff, said the genre of humor Norton used in the collection of essays was not a genre familiar to him.

"The only thing I could come up with is 'shock value,'

" Ables said. He compared it with something like the shock appeal of a horror movie.

David Ogborn, the lone vote against the board's decision, had stronger words for the book, "Happy Endings: The Tales of a Meaty-Breasted Zilch."

"That kind of garbage there, I don't think belongs in the library, " Ogborn said. "You can call it censorship or anything you want to but there's a difference in right and wrong and that's wrong."

The Library Board also voted to issue a news release.

"We certainly would like the press to portray us accurately," Ables said, "for the community to have an understanding about how we go about this process rather than being called book banners and censor mongers."

Library Director Michael Hamlett told the board that the Norton book had not been reviewed by publications that the library system subscribes to and that of the 9,207 public libraries in the U.S. only 278 own the book.

"That says something right there," Hamlett said. "In the past it has been our policy to automatically buy things off the New York Times Best Seller List. We have reviewed that and we have changed that procedure and will no longer automatically buy things until we have a closer look at them."

When discussing why, since August, Hamlett hasn't returned called from the media concerning the issue, Hamlett said, "I didn't want to chance being misquoted and chose not to respond."

Farmer files lawsuit over use of his picture

Farmer files lawsuit over use of his picture - Roanoke.com

Courtesy of Roanoke County Circuit Court

Botetourt County farmer Andrew Marsinko says this photo of him was used on a birthday card without his permission.

Andrew Marsinko didn't know that a photo taken of him with a goose had been used in a slightly naughty birthday card until complete strangers started poking fun at him.

Now the Botetourt County poultry farmer has responded with a lawsuit intended to cook the goose of everyone involved.

The complaint filed in Roanoke County Circuit Court seeks $7.5 million in damages from the photographers who took the photo, the companies that offered the photo as a stock image and the companies that created and sold the card.

The central issue revolves around whether Marsinko signed a release allowing his photo to be used for commercial purposes. In the lawsuit, he says he didn't.

"That's not something you want to wake up and find out's been done," said Roanoke lawyer David Harrison who represents Marsinko.

The front of the card features Marsinko in a cowboy hat holding a goose on one knee, with a balloon that reads, "Since it's your birthday, you decide -- Would you rather get spanked ..." The inside reads, "Or goosed? Happy birthday!"

PULLMAN, Wash. - Looking to recruit more women, and perhaps date some sorority women, the largest computer club at Washington State University

The idea is to trade their computer skills to sorority girls in exchange for a makeover and, possibly, a date.

"You can buy a nerd and he'll fix your computer, help you with stats homework, or if you're really adventurous, take you to dinner!" Ben Ford, president of the Linux Users Group, said on its Web site.

Ford acknowledged that some of the group's 213 registered members may not be ready for the auction block.

"The problem is that we're all still nerds. Let's face it, guys. If anyone's going to bid on us, we'll need some spicing up," he wrote. "And who better to help with that than sorority girls who like nothing better than a makeover?"

This all began as an effort to recruit more women into computer science programs and a public relations class decided to help.

"Our conclusion was that they need to promote themselves better, then specific ideas were presented to them," said professor Moon Lee, who taught the public relations class. "They made suggestions to work with specific groups such as sororities. Sorority groups tend to have a very good social network."

Ford, who has an undergraduate degree in computer science and is pursuing a master's in business management, has spoken to several sororities, but so far none has committed to the project. A call to the Center for Fraternity and Sorority Life at WSU by The Associated Press was not immediately returned.

Saudi Religious Police Attacked by Girls

Saudi Religious Police Attacked by Girls (Asharq Alawsat Newspaper)

Dammam, Asharq Al-Awsat- Members of Khobar's Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice were the victims of an attack by two Saudi females, Asharq Al-Awsat can reveal.

According to the head of the commission in Khobar, two girls pepper sprayed members of the commission after they had tried to offer them advice.

Head of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice in the Eastern province Dr. Mohamed bin Marshood al-Marshood, told Asharq Al Awsat that two of the Commission's employees were verbally insulted and attacked by two inappropriately-dressed females, in the old market in Prince Bandar street, an area usually crowded with shoppers during the month of Ramadan.

According to Dr. Al-Marshood, the two commission members approached the girls in order to "politely" advise and guide them regarding their inappropriate clothing.

Consequently, the two girls started verbally abusing the commission members, which then lead to one of the girls pepper-spraying them in the face as the other girl filmed the incident on her mobile phone, while continuing to hurl insults at them.

The Eastern Province's head of the commission also revealed that with the help of the police his two employees were able to control the situation.

The two females were then escorted to the police station where they apologized for the attack, were cautioned and then released.

Arlen Specter Is Not Keeping Up With Pornography

Dept. Of Pornography: Arlen Specter Is Not Keeping Up With Pornography - Wonkette

Arlen Specter Is Not Keeping Up With Pornography

Snarlin’ Arlen Specter is so quaint. The moderate Republican senator is about 95 years old and still married to his lone wife, and his kids don’t hate him, and he’s apparently ignorant of the main pornography performers. If you’ve just returned to America from a 25-year trip abroad, you may have noticed pornography is the primary form of American media and entertainment today. From your work computer to the public bathroom to your home computer and back to the public bathroom again, pornography is “America’s Industry.”

And one thing the porno performers do is visit Congress and give advice on the pornography tax relief or whatever, which is why the porn actress Jenna Jameson (one of the main pornography people) got a Capitol tour from an unnamed staffer or intern from Arlen Specter’s office.

Specter had no clue about any of it. The Washington Post confronted the elderly senator:

“I don’t recognize that name. Who? General Jameson?” Specter asked.

“No, sir, Jenna. She’s, well, she’s kind of an actress, in, well, uh, the adult film industry,” Kane explained.

“Paul, do you mean pornos?” Specter chuckled.

“Yes, senator, that’s what we’d call it.”

“I don’t think I’m meeting her,” Specter said.

Capitol Police had the opposite response. The buffoonish cops waddled as fast as they could to be photographed with the sex performer.

Topless' nun sign angers council

BBC NEWS | UK | Wales | South West Wales | 'Topless' nun sign angers council

The council says it is disrespectful to the nuns who ran the convent

Plans to erect a sign with the image of a bare-breasted nun outside a seaside resort hotel, converted from a convent, have angered councillors.

Tenby Town Council is urging planners to refuse permission for the sign which depicts a nun lifting her bodice.

They claim it is "disrespectful and inappropriate" for use outside the former St Teresa's Convent building.

However they are supporting plans to turn the convent into a luxury hotel, restaurant and bar.

The convent was home to nuns until 1996 when the sisters who ran it became too old to continue. It had been a boarding convent school prior to that.

Businessman Sean Roche has submitted two separate applications for the hotel which he plans to call The Convent.

Breasts ae cool

Cambridge Times

Every law is someone's morality, or standard of what's right and wrong. To say "No one can legislate morality" is merely saying, "No one has the right to tell me what to do".

It is impossible for all citizens of any given society to have unrestricted freedom. If one person has the "freedom" to take anything they feel like taking, then someone else who wants to keep his possessions loses the freedom to possess property. We have rights and freedoms to the extent that we do not impinge on anyone else's.

Desiring to expose oneself indecently in public, especially to the point of being willing to go to prison, does not prove "equality," but rather a puerile understanding of nudity, society and relationships.

Men and women are not equal. They are equally important and valuable, but they have major and obvious physical, emotional, mental and behavioral differences that are ingrained in the DNA of every cell of the body (too many to write about here; I suggest you do a Google search on it).

For a woman to say that a woman has to be like a man to be "equal" is really saying that to be a woman isn't enough. To dishonour the beautiful things many women choose to do depreciates the woman in women. Many women happily choose to make their home a warm, clean, well-fed haven for their much-loved families, instead of running around half-naked getting attention.

The law in Ontario already allows women to inappropriately bare themselves, but most women clearly prefer to keep their clothes on.

If nudity is what one desires, there are many nudist colonies and secluded places where nudity will not be disrespectful to others who don't wish to see nakedness. Why would someone feel the need to bare private body parts in public except to gain attention?

It is not in the best interests of women or men for women to expose themselves. Parents don't want their children to have to see that. Wives don't want their husbands to see that.

Many men may want to see that, and you will probably gain their attention by exposing yourself, but there are also many men who are committed to their wives and families who don't want to be tempted by someone who isn't their own wife and the mother of their children.

Breasts are a beautiful, sexual part of the body and inexplicably desired by men. Expecting men to stop being attracted to breasts is an unnatural and unrealistic demand. It would be as silly as asking a dog to stop liking rawhide.

There is nothing perverted or filthy about men being attracted to women's breasts, or about parents wanting to protect their children from sexuality that belongs in the realm of adults.

We need to show respect to others, and showing respect means keeping private body parts covered.

Sex in the Park, and Its Sneaky Spectators

Sex in the Park, and Its Sneaky Spectators - New York Times

Kohei Yoshiyuki/Yossi Milo Gallery

Two images from “The Park,” Kohei Yoshiyuki’s photographs of voyeurs watching people having sex at night in Tokyo parks. The series was last exhibited in 1979.

By PHILIP GEFTER

Published: September 23, 2007

WHY are the Japanese couples in Kohei Yoshiyuki’s photographs having sex outdoors? Was 1970s Tokyo so crowded, its apartments so small, that they were forced to seek privacy in public parks at night? And what about those peeping toms? Are the couples as oblivious as they seem to the gawkers trespassing on their nocturnal intimacy?

Layers of Voyeurism

If the social phenomena captured in these photographs seem distinctly linked to Japanese culture, Mr. Yoshiyuki’s images of voyeurs reverberate well beyond it. Viewing his pictures means that you too are looking at activities not meant to be seen. We line up right behind the photographer, surreptitiously watching the peeping toms who are secretly watching the couples. Voyeurism is us.

The series, titled “The Park,” is on view at Yossi Milo Gallery in Chelsea, the first time the photographs have been exhibited since 1979, when they were introduced at Komai Gallery in Tokyo. For that show the pictures were blown up to life size, the gallery lights were turned off, and each visitor was given a flashlight. Mr. Yoshiyuki wanted to reconstruct the darkness of the park. “I wanted people to look at the bodies an inch at a time,” he has said.

Porn Industry Infighting As Pirate Bay Takes On Big Media |

Porn Industry Infighting As Pirate Bay Takes On Big Media | TorrentFreak

After declaring their own war on BitTorrent, players from the porn industry have been debating The Pirate Bay’s calls for police action after major media companies tried to illegally sabotage their operations. Surprisingly there are huge divisions, with many players openly supporting the operators of the world’s largest BitTorrent tracker and some are even donating.

The fallout from the MediaDefender debacle has seemingly reached every corner of the Internet, with sites springing up dedicated to the dissemination of every last detail of the leak, it seems everyone with an interest in BitTorrent has this hot topic on their lips.

Following the revelations that ‘Big Media’ hired MediaDefender to illegally sabotage The Pirate Bay’s activities in Sweden, we reported that complaints have been filed with the police. The porn industry - already in the early stages of its own personal war against BitTorrent - could’ve been expected to demonstrate a united front in support of MediaDefender and its actions against The Pirate Bay. This is not the case. They are hugely divided with many openly supporting the world’s most famous pirates, with some even making it public that they are donating hard cash to help their cause.

Using language as filthy as their movies (mostly without spell-checkers), those of a sensitive nature should proceed with caution when reading these quotes from some of the longest-standing senior members on the porn industry’s GFY forums:

It all started in quite a civil manner, with Madrox quite correctly pointing out: “well what they are trying to do to PirateBay is illegal, so i guess they are trying to fight fire with fire, i hope PB wins…” to which a disbelieving 34,000-post count “tony404″ responded angrily: “Your fucking kidding right?”

Jace goes on to demonstrate the reality of the situation: “the fucked up part is that what the thepiratebay is doing in their country is legal, and what the movie companies are doing in the country of thepiratebat is ILLEGAL, so there is a good chance this will be a pretty damn good fight” to which GhostCash Rush responded: “I agree. This is the one shot Gottfrid has been waiting for.”

Madrox steps in again: “and thats exactly the reason why im rooting for PB, sure its illegal over here for what they are doing, but they aren’t doing anything illegal in their own country, so im not gonna hate them for breaking laws in another country… premarital sex is illegal in a lot of 3rd world countries, but oh wait, not in America, but you don’t see them trying to sue us do ya?”

…..which provoked several “fuck you” and “asshole” comments from people who are clearly hugely frustrated by their limited legal and geographical knowledge. According to will76, Sweden is a 3rd world country “where hacking is legal you dumb fucks” and while pointing out their ‘legal’ page claims TPB staff are “cocky mother fuckers asking for trouble”.

At this point, in steps ‘RawAlex’ who has more to say on this matter than anyone else on the porn industry forum and has some really ‘interesting’ ideas about the legality of TPB and copyright law: “The funny part is that piratebay would have to first admit what is on those trackers. So they would have to admit to sharing copyright material in the first place before they could move forward.”

TPB host only .torrent files and never distribute copyright works, that’s why they are legal in Sweden and are still operating. So we can all ‘move forward’ now…with some common sense from ‘hungry hungry hippy’:

“usa law stops at the borders, tpb does nothing illegal in their country, period. because you can’t come to grips with that does not mean you can go vigilante and hack them - that is illegal in both countries. sorry to interrupt the whine fest, someone want to pass the cheese?”

…to which RawAlex responds: “Sorry moron, but you forget that piratebay doesn’t limit themselves to distributing stuff in Sweden - they distribute worldwide.” Sorry to correct you again Alex - they don’t distribute anything but .torrent files - which are totally legal.

‘Amputate Your Head’, a member since 2001 supports Pirate Bay “fully” while ‘Dirty Franck’ explains that he “just donated 200 bucks to PB for their case” along with ‘Bang.TV‘. Pryda exclaims: “Go Pirate Bay! I always loved them, but now I’m rooting for them even more, since I read the MediaDefender story.”
