Incident #1: Far-right politician Giorgos Karatzaferis visited the exhibition and called one of the paintings, Asperges Me (Dry Sin) by Thierry de Cordier, "the most obscene, immoral, shameless painting I had ever seen." Asperges Me depicts an erect penis on the left and a crucifix dripping with semen on the right. Making things worse, said Karatzaferis, "the penis, that thing, looked circumcised." Other politicians and religious groups jumped on the denunciation bandwagon, and the exbition organizers removed the work. Shameless is right — shamelessly trying to get his name in the papers with such blatant fundi-bait. This game stopped being funny years ago; it's just too easy. Then again, maybe the artist was sincere. There are Christian speed metal bands, so why not Christian bukkake? Incident #2: A few days later, a woman tore a photograph by Thanassis Tsotsikas off the gallery wall, then waited patiently for the guards. Kathimerini notes, "Her conservative dress suggested she was a member of a church organization." Police gave her a ticket and released her. The untitled photograph showed Tsotsikas fucking a watermelon. Incident #3: Later that day, another woman — "also dressed in Orthodox-mandated black," according to the Guardian — ran into the exhibition shouting "it's obscene!" and tried to deface a nude sketch by Raymond Pettibon, but guards stopped her. CIRCA reports that "ever since, the exhibition's organisers have been inundated by threats against the art and the 'people who put them there'." The Guardian adds, "Last night [Saturday, Dec 14], the exhibits were being protected by armed guards, following yet more threats to 'take down the penises'." Unfortunately, I can't find pictures of the offending works online. Tuesday, December 23, 2003
But his [a 20-year-old TLW member] beliefs compel him to stick to it--he considers masturbation a sin. "Whenever masturbation is involved, lust is involved, and that's impure," he says. The problem, he says, is that even within supportive prayer groups and among abstinence-friendly friends, it isn't easy to broach the topic. "Like, you just don't want to even say it in the presence of other church people. I think it's just kind of collectively an issue of shame." Indeed, the True Love Waits curriculum is euphemistic when discussing masturbation. In the text of four TLW workbooks--Until You Say I Do, True Love Waits Takes a Look at Courting, Dating, & Hanging Out, Pure Joy and Living Pure Inside Out--the term is mentioned rarely. References to viewing pornography abound, however, and they hammer that shameful theme: "Although the end result is different from person to person," one entry says, "it has to be noted that almost every serial murderer and sex offender began their journey to the depths of their depraved behavior with pornography." Steven Bailey, a volunteer youth ministry assistant at First Baptist of Richardson, says he tries to steer kids away from the question of whether masturbation is right or wrong. "I try to teach them why we don't do those things," he says. "I ask them the simple question, 'When you masturbate, are your thoughts pure? Are your thoughts holy? Do you feel like you're glorifying God at those times?'"
Love hotels see stockings bulge and sacks emptied when Santa comes. "Christmastime around the world is all about peace on earth and goodwill to all men, except perhaps in Japan, where it means busy season for love hotels preparing for Christmas Eve, their biggest night of the year." Locomotive lechers get a legal feel for carnal commuters. Brothel rooms decked out as subway cars are apparently common in Japan, and one clever entrepreneur has pushed the concept further. "Like most other knocking shops catering to train gropers, Tokyo's Chikansha Thomas is decked out to resemble one of the packed subway carriages Japan is famous for. But where it differs from most is that rates also include a 10-minute primer session where customers perform first in front of a crowd before moving to a private room also decorated to look like a train." Dump your lover -- with a dump. "Dropping a turd is the best way, I think. It's even better if you can do it in her bed. It might not work the first time if she treats it as an accident, but if you hit her a second time, she'll get rid of you for sure." Pornstar Hitomi Kobayashi retires after 18 years and 70 videos. She insists that all the sex was simulated in her films. "I used to get the directors to tickle my feet and then tried not to laugh so it looked as though I was climaxing." It's a dirty, dirty, DIRTY job ... but some B-star's gotta do it. Starring in low-budget bukkake and bondage videos is not the world's greatest job. Ayu Nagashima says, "Honestly, it feels like being dumped in some dirty, stinking clag. When one after the other somebody is shooting semen in your mouth or up your nose until your entire face is covered feels absolutely awful. And, when it dries, it gets all sticky." Eri Misaki says, "If you're being tied up by members of the film crew it could be a bit hot. If you're hung up by a rope, there's a chance your limbs could be ripped off, or you could stop breathing. With all the filming we have to do, it's easy to lose concentration, which opens the door to accidents. It is really terrifying." Japanese ladies spray away from legs to Nicodass. "One of the most successful products for women in 2003 allows them to enjoy the look and feel of pantyhose without having to go through the trouble of actually having to wear them. Air Stocking is a silk powder spray they use to coat their legs so it appears as though they're actually wearing pantyhose."

The feud between Paris Hilton's family and her ex-boyfriend Rick Salomon reached new heights on Saturday, when the hotel heiress' sister Nicky got into screaming match with him. Salomon recently filed a lawsuit against the family of his sex tape co-star Paris, after they accused him of leaking the amateur film onto the internet. And when the estranged husband of actress Shannen Doherty bumped into Nicky at West Hollywood hot-spot Shelter, partygoers say all hell broke loose. An eyewitness recalls, "Rick confronted her, and they started arguing." According to US Weekly, Don Thrasher, Salomon's former friend who sold the tape to a porn website for $50,000, stepped in to defend Nicky. After a shoving match between the men, sources say Thrasher shot Salomon with pepper spray, prompting the venue's security men to throw them out onto the street. Damn, I'd pay to watch that on video.
The couple had run the Website GirlsPooping.com, where they sold titles such as Outdoor Pooping Paradise, which showed ten women defecating outdoors, and an enema tape called Simone’s Daddy’s Little Girl. The Corbett’s had earned $70,000 in three months, shipping out six to 30 orders a day through the U.S. mail. GirlsPooping.com offered 53 titles. Jail terms for victimless "crimes" involving consenting adults are an outrage. But still, you know . . . ick! The AP wire story doesn't mention the URL or video titles, but does include this quote from the judge who handed down the sentences: "I think the guidelines for this crime were extremely lenient. The court, quite frankly, is appalled at the nature of material here. ... It's dehumanizing and demeaning."
