Another Italian porn star is running for office, and she's actually featuring her naked ass in her campaign ads.

Her name is Milly D'Abbraccio, and I'm afraid that ass picture she's using is from her younger days.

Uh oh for Joe Francis. Ashley Dupre's attorney is saying that she was only 17 years old when she shot the Girls Gone Wild video.

US Magazine has a bunch of early photos of Ashley Dupree with the classy headline: Portrait of a Prostitute.

So big suprise that Ashley Dupree (Eliot Spitzer's prostitute) actually appeared in a Girls Gone Wild video a few years back. Her video is available for under $5 at Girls Gone Wild today.

Why do porn movies not count as prostitution? In both cases, at least 1 party is essentially being paid for a sexual service.

... acting fees weren't paid "for the purpose of sexual arousal or gratification, his own or the actors'." (The sexual gratification of people who watched the movie was irrelevant.) The court also said that even if the actors had engaged in prostitution, applying the anti-pandering laws to skin flicks would impinge on the First Amendment.

Penthouse is trying to get "Kristen" - Eliot Spitzer's prostitute to do a spread and cover shoot for them.

Amsterdam has their priorities straight.

Councillors agreed that heterosexual and gay couples could have sex in the Vondelpark which has ten million visitors a year. But they promised to clampdown on dog owners who let their pets walk in the park without a lead

So the Australian government spent $89 million on a porn filter that they thought 25 million users would download. When only 29,000 people actually downloaded and used the filter, they got wise and nixed the program. But they failed to learn the obvious lesson - Australian's don't want their internet filtered.

Instead, they are going to force the filtering to occur at the ISP level, leaving Australians without a choice in the matter.

Since its illegal to carry a gun on school property, why not add a vibrator to the banned list too.

Best political sign of the year: Keep Your Burka, I'll Keep My Clitoris.

Who knew the Marines, NASA and SWAT were helping develop sex gadgets.

China is cracking down on sex again. This time they've banned the production of porn movies and vulgar song lyrics.

I just got a PR release for the Feb 08 issue of Hustler Magazine. Here are the highlights:

Going way back in time for this article (2000), but the idea that NASA did tests on sexual positions in zero-G is interesting.

Twenty positions were tested by computer simulation to obtain the best 10, he says. "Two guinea pigs then tested them in real zero-gravity conditions. The results were videotaped but are considered so sensitive that even Nasa was only given a censored version."

Only four positions were found possible without "mechanical assistance". The other six needed a special elastic belt and inflatable tunnel, like an open-ended sleeping bag.

Now seriously. I'm not a liberal at all, but I can certainly understand the viewpoint - but is it really necessary to complain to Congress when your birth control costs too much? Congress?

I thought liberals were all about getting the government out of our private lives - don't tell me who I can't marry, don't tell me I can't put my dick in my wife's mouth. But somehow we want the government to subsidize birth control for college kids?

Mail some panties to Bangkok to help sap the strength of the repressive government of Burma.

The first step in getting the dumb 2257 record-keeping rules overturned has finally hit as the 6th Circuit Court ruled that 2257 is unconstitutional. The government's primary argument was that the 2257 laws are pointed at conduct rather than speech, but the Court didn't buy it.

"This argument is unpersuasive," Kennedy wrote. "While the government is indeed aiming at conduct, child abuse, it is regulating protected speech, sexually explicit images of adults, to get at that conduct. To the extent the government is claiming that a law is considered a conduct regulation as long as the government claims an interest in conduct and not speech, the Supreme Court has rejected that argument."

"Adult sexual conduct is not illegal and it is in fact constitutionally protected ... The regulation of visual depictions of adult sexual activity is not based on its intrinsic relation to illegal conduct. It is, therefore, a regulation of speech, because both the photograph and the taking of a photograph 'bear … [a] necessary relationship to the freedom to speak, write, print or distribute information or opinion.'"

Canada's Sex Party sues mailmen over explicit pamphlets. Wait, Canada has a 'Sex Party'? I had no idea.

The Sex Party (official site)

The best campaign slogan ever: If you like oral sex, vote Caragol for council. Thats the campaign slogan of Jose 'Pepe' Caragol running for re-election to the Hialeah, Florida city council.

Not even Mary Carey had the guts to use a slogan like this when she ran for Governor of California.

Those gals on The View are just so damn classy: Whoopi suggest 3-way with Nancy Pelosi and her husband.

At least it wasn't Rosie O'Donnell making the suggestion. Ick.

China has banned bra, underwear and sex toy ads.

Nice communist collective they still have going over there. Maybe they'll join the civilized world sometime before I die.

The top Catholic official in Mozambique is claiming that condoms distributed in his country are infected with HIV by the manufacturers.

"Condoms are not sure because I know that there are two countries in Europe, they are making condoms with the virus on purpose," he alleged, refusing to name the countries.

"They want to finish with the African people. This is the programme. They want to colonise until up to now. If we are not careful we will finish in one century's time."

How long is it going to take for churches and nanny-state leftists to realize that you can no longer lie to people and get away with it - even if you think its for their own good. Its not going to happen, but this guy ought to be removed from his position by the Pope.

Religious nuts have banned nudity on Mt. Everest. But hey, at least they aren't threatening to behead anybody.

Bill Clinton removed a nude painting so he wouldn't be standing in front of it during a speech. Somehow, I get the feeling that he's getting off easier than John Ashcroft did for a similar act.

When a "liberal progressive" with a "libertarian value system" starts saying that a huge and powerful porn industrial complex has grown out of control the industry might have some real political problems ahead of it.

Or, this is just another liberal do-gooder that thinks he knows whats best for society (read: only libertarian for the drugs, man) starts poking his political finger where it doesn't belong. Check out the quote below and particularly the term "First Amendment purists" - as if a plain reading of the text of the Bill of Rights somehow puts me into some little weird club.

The porn industry should not enjoy our collective denial in terms of its real-world impact on women - and men - simply because we might be berated by First Amendment purists or be uncomfortable grappling with complex issues of sexual expression.

Hey libs, we've got enough trouble in the industry with the prudish crowd over here in the conservative world - we don't need your hippie ass ratting us out too.

What am I supposed to think when a feminist tells me that men's magazines are sexist, but its not men's fault? Its wrong in so many ways that its almost OK with me.

The truth is that men's magazines are not sexist, and are the 'fault' of men. Men like looking at girls, so we are the reason the magazines exist. But they are filled with women, being paid to do a job - who apparently don't agree with the feminists that their work is sexist.

The Chinese government is going to launch some internet police in the form of animated cops that appear on users screens and remind them to stay away from illegal content. Its sad that people still have to live under the thumb of a communist government like this.

Starting Sept. 1, the cartoon alerts will appear every half hour on 13 of China's top portals, including Sohu and Sina, and by the end of the year will appear on all Web sites registered with Beijing servers, the Beijing Public Security Ministry said in a statement.

A news anchor and a weather guy re-enact Senator Larry Craig (R)'s gay sex solicitation arrest on the air. Funny stuff.

A picture of President Bush made from porn magazine images. Its actually a pretty good likeness.

Is China undergoing a sexual revolution? I hope so, but really doubt that the Communist government is going to let this whole personal freedom thing get too far out of hand.

Maybe those damn commie bastards aren't so bad after all. The Ulyanovsk region of Russia has pronounced Sept 12th as the 'Day of Conception'.

The hope is for a brood of babies exactly nine months later on Russia's national day. Couples who "give birth to a patriot" during the June 12 festivities win money, cars, refrigerators and other prizes.

David Douthitt is apparently one of the world's worst neighbors. He's in a fight with the City of Sarasota over his plans to open up a hair salon with a bikini-clad staff that the City won't give him permits for. So to fight back, he's been posing mannequins in the front window of the house, sometimes nude, other times in sexual positions.

The Free Speech Coalition released its 2257 Guide for Public Comment. I sure hope they are successful is getting the rules modified, but I'm not holding my breath.

Travelodge is dropping its porn channels from its in-room TV service. I wouldn't look for this trend to spread because the hotels make quite a bit of profit off of the pay-per-view porn.

It is somewhat troubling though because porn consumption in hotel rooms has been used by courts to help establish a 'community standard' when obscenity cases arise. If this were to spread, it would make obscenity prosecutions a bit easier in some of the more conservative states.

A Democrat in California has introduced some state legislation trying to add a tax on porn because of its 'secondary effects'.

More taxes are never good, lets hope it fails.

People told me if we elected Bush that people in the porn industry would face great peril - they were right .

Using porn to defeat Islamic Fascism. Who would've thought that porn could be the cure-all for the worlds terror troubles.

The very odd idea of prostitution insurance.

#1 sign your military needs upgrading - when you decide to ban a sex toy because it could interfere with your military communications.

A remote-controlled "love egg" has reportedly been banned by Cyprus amid fears that the device could disrupt military systems.

A good question: Why is it still illegal to pay for sex?.

Useless but fascinating information: Former CIA director George Tenet and porn stud Ron Jeremy went to high school together in Brooklyn.

An Muslim Egyptian cleric's has issued a fatwa saying that nudity during sexual intercourse invalidates a marriage.

All the more reason to have lots of naked pre-marital sex, right?

Of course, this guy is just the radical nutjob - lets see what the 'moderates' in the article had to say on the subject.

...that married couples could see each other naked but should not look at each other's genitalia and suggested they cover up with a blanket during sex.

How progressive, lets try again - this time from a Muslim woman:

Nothing is prohibited during marital sex...

Ooh, a promising start, but

...except of course sodomy.

The Indonesian editor of Playboy magazine was acquitted of indecency charges that would have jailed him for 3 years if convicted.

Efran Basyuning, presiding judge of the South Jakarta District Court, said pictures of scantily dressed women, some in underwear with their breasts partially exposed, could not be categorized as pornography under the country's criminal law.

"This is a bitter pill," said one demonstrator, Bachtiar Ali. "Do we have to wait until our wives and daughters are raped? We will keep fighting. Pornography as a moral crime that destroys the nation's faith."

Actually, yes, you do have to wait until your wives and daughters are raped - because that, unlike Playboy magazine, is actually a crime.

The Japanese military leaked some top secret US data after somebody bungled a porn file transfer. The naval officer had apparently burned a CD of porn from his friends computer that ended up having some top secret info on it in addition to the bukkake and hentai photos (nothing beats a little stereotyping in the morning)

Due to selective abortion practices, China and India are facing a shortage of women. The numbers don't seem as crazy as I expected (among kids under 4 in China, there are 120 males to every 100 females - usually this spread never gets bigger than 5 naturally).

India has actually trying to provide compensation for baby girls to encourage the parents not to abort them.

The authors here try to draw the conclusion that the relative lack of females is going to drive these countries away from Democracy and into a more authoritarian-type government. They apparently didn't stop to realize that China is already an authoritarian Communist government.

Turns out the fired US Attorney's story has a porn connection - one of the reasons that Bush used to push these folks out is that they weren't pursuing obscenity cases sufficiently to the liking of the crazy Obscenity Prosecution Task Force.

In the history of unfortunate acronyms arising from poorly named governmental organizations and committees, the Swedish governments' Ombudsman against Discrimination on grounds of Sexual Orientation is the worst ever.

Nothing says "whoops", more than the photo caption on the right:

Hans Ytterberg, HomO

Being in the Russian army must really suck these days. Used to be you were the bad guy in the world with a tough reputation and a funny accent. Nowadays, you are the broke, irrelevant, ex-commie thats being forced into male prostitution by the senior officers.

The ban on sex toys in Alabama was upheld by the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
