Nude Nude Nudes is okay with them, but Vaginas R Us is of such a lower tone that it gets complaints? Smacktards.

Yes, it's old, but..I have a 1000 years of power!

This guy's going to the Inner Earth. What Inner Earth? This one. It has a monorail!

Apparently, the purpose of the trip is to "to conduct scientific observations that could resolve once and for all whether the Hollow Earth Theory has any validity". I can answer that already. NO, IT DOESN'T!

Russia stones the cows

Russia's long winter will just fly by for a herd of Russian cows which, a newspaper reported on Tuesday, will be fed confiscated marijuana over the cold months.

Drug workers said they adopted the unusual form of animal husbandry after they were forced to destroy the sunflowers and maize crops that the 40 tonnes of marijuana had been planted among, Novye Izvestia daily reported.

"There is simply no other way out. You see, the fields are planted with feed crops and if we remove it all the cows will have nothing to eat," a Federal Drugs Control Service spokeswoman for the Urals region of Sverdlovsk told the paper.

"I don't know what the milk will be like after this."

Drug use in Russia took off with the decline of the Soviet Union and police have been fighting drug smugglers - often shipping heroin from Afghanistan - for years.

Such large hauls are relatively common, although they are normally burned

Just, ugh...

Baby boom for reality TV

Reality TV may hit a new low in a show featuring a woman searching for a potential sperm donor so she can conceive a child.

I Want Your Child... And Nothing Else! is spawned from the mind of John de Mol, the billionaire Dutch TV producer whose past credits include worldwide reality hit Big Brother.

The woman who will feature in the program has been identified only as a 30-year-old named Yessica. "We visit potential donors and, of course on camera, decide which man is most suitable," she told Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf.

"Afterwards there will be artificial insemination", she said, also revealing she has already bought a house with room for a child.

De Telegraaf also printed an email address for men willing to donate their sperm.

In a further twist, the program is a one-off episode competing against four other reality shows, one of which features a group of former prostitutes opening a café. After all five programs air this Saturday, viewers will vote to decide which one is turned into a series.

Earlier this year, US TV network ABC shelved plans to air reality series Welcome to the Neighbourhood, which featured seven families from different minorities competing to win a home in a conservative white suburb.

Puppy love

A love motel, complete with a heart-shaped mirror on the ceiling and a headboard resembling a doggy bone, has opened for amorous pooches in Brazil.

The doggy love motel in Sao Paulo, South America's largest city, was inspired by the thousands of such establishments that rent rooms to Brazilian couples for four-hour periods for trysts.

"I am absolutely certain this is the first one for dogs in the world," said Robson Marinho, a director at the Gang dos Bichos, or Gang of Animals, a pet shop.

Marinho says he has received reservations for the room, which he built on the second floor of the store and on which he hung a sign that reads Pet Love Motel. The window has thick curtains for timid dogs that want discretion.

Marinho's business partners own seven love motels for humans in Sao Paulo, including the island-themed Caribe and another called Opium.

The air-conditioned Pet Love Motel room, with a paw print decorative motif, has a special control panel to dim the lights, turn on romantic music or play films.

"The owner has to know what kind of DVD will excite his or her dog," Marinho said with a chuckle.

The dog motel, which opened this month, costs 100 reais ($54) for two hours, making it more expensive than the least luxurious rooms at the Opium, which cost 107 reais for four hours.
"We also have a wedding agency that matches up dogs and if the female dog doesn't get pregnant, we offer artificial insemination services," said Marinho.

Joey Skaggs came up with that idea in 1976.

Robots on crosses offend churches:-
MELBOURNE | September 02, 2005 7:12:15 AM IST


An Australian artist's work that shows a Star Wars robot hanging from a cross has outraged some churches.

The Melbourne Herald Sun reports that Crusci-fiction is part of an exhibit called False Idols by artist Jud Wimhurst which opens this month at a Melbourne gallery. Crusci-fiction is a room-sized installation with 25 replicas of C3PO nailed to crosses.

Wimhurst said his work is not intended as sacrilege.

We're talking about sacrilege and the fact that everything's for sale, he said.

But Monsignor Lee Tomlinson, the city's Roman Catholic vicar general, suggested the art trivializes the central symbol of Christianity.

It's disappointing that Christian symbols seem to be able to be ridiculed, but those of other religions or groups are not, Tomlinson told the newspaper.

Jim Wallace, head of the Australian Christian Lobby, also finds the art offensive.

On the other hand, David Richardson, dean of the Anglican St. Paul's Cathedral, found Crusci-fiction interesting and said Christians don't have a monopoly on crucifixion.

Can I assume I'm not one of the certain nerds? Cause I actually agree with some of it.

I agree, it is disappointing. And I would further add that it is disgusting and disgraceful that other religious symbols are not fair game. The law, and society in general, is an ass when it comes to this. Defending and lauding the mockery of Christianity while decrying as racist/anti-THING any similar defilement of non-Christian belief systems.

There is no god. Or gods. Or "higher power". Or Ultimate Truth.
And there sure as hell aren't any Thetans.

Christianity just happens to be one of the biggest whores around, so it's the most likely to be ridiculed in this fashion.
Not like they don't deserve it. =d

Poor Threepio.

Wimhurst said his work is not intended as sacrilege.

What the heck was it intended to be, then??

It's not that hard to avoid being sacreligious. Not fucking with religious symbols is a good start.

[hails]

the title of the exhibition is "False Idols" - if anything, this collection could claim that christianity is being hard-done by because of the fact that there is more response to scifi films than what there is to the 'one true path' or whatever. doesn't seem sacreligious to me, but i'm a pagan atheist art geek so maaaybe there's some room for utter bias here

man, i should really get in to instellation art, you can do the most fantastically wanky things with it...

[Renee_Turner]

Australia would be a predominantly Christian country. I'm sure you could do a six-armed 3PO, but would anyone get it?

they should market this for wives and girlfriends

Emergency workers helped a New Hampshire man out of a difficult situation over the weekend after a friend apparently locked a padlock around his testicles.
According to the Portsmouth Herald, police reported that the 39-year-old man was intoxicated when they arrived at the scene on July 30 at about 3:40 a.m. The man, who was not identified, told them that he had the padlock around his testicles for two weeks.

The man said that a friend put the lock on while he was drunk and passed out. When he woke up, the friend was gone.

He was taken to Exeter Hospital, where a locksmith removed the padlock. He was treated and released, and the hospital said he had no lasting injury.

October 9th is 'National Porn Sunday'.
It's American, but I don't see that we can't follow suit and have a day of porn on Sunday too.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are expecting.
Can't say I was.
