A quick round up of news, reviews and generally intersting things I have read over the past week.

French in uproar over oral sex anti-smoking posters

A french advertising company has sparked controversy over an anti-smoking campaign featuring a young girl being shown to apparently be made to perform fellatio, at the hand of an older man; but with a cigarette between her lips in place of the obvious.

Other posters in the campaign also show teenage boys in the same predicament. The images are under the caption,

"Smoking is to be a slave to tobacco."
The campaign was designed on behalf of a pressure group who wish to protect the rights of non-smokers. The aim being to shock in order to cut the rate of 13 to 15 year-olds taking up smoking in France. It has been described as 'scandalous' by feminist and pro-family groups.

At the risk of sounding facetious, surely they are over-looking one vital point; smoking makes your cum taste like crap... wanna get more head? Lay off the cigs! >>> Sorry :p x

.xxx domains on the horizon?

So, you have a xxx rated site, how would you like a .xxx domain to match?

It may soon be a possibility, XBiz reports. Following a legal battle costing in the region of $3 million, and over six years of work, it was ruled that ICANN, who have on three previous occasions blocked the application for the new domains, violated their own charter and have no real reason to forbid the .xxx suffix. There has been suggestion that the US Commerce Department were involved behind the scenes and that ICANN probably were swayed by government interests.

No surprises there then.


ICM Registry plan to have the domains on sale by the end of the year. Over 100,000 domains have already been reserved.

The annual cost for the new domains would be $60, $10 of which would go to child protection groups. Sites would also be made to label their content as adult. Seems to me, a great plan - trying to sweep the issue under the carpet as ICANN have done, will not remove a 'problem' (problem in the eyes of the US government perhaps?) - it will only push it further into the shadows creating more trouble than it solves. This way, everything is clear and upfront and if it goes some way to help fund child protection then all the better for it. I wont argue with that.

Full story here and here.

And finally...

"Curvy women stimulate men's brains the same way drugs and alcohol do"

So... tell us something we don't know eh?

You may note I'm avoiding the 50 Cent / Tiger Woods type stories. Not my style - sorry. There's plenty of that out there if that's your cup of tea. It's just not mine.

Anyway... till next time;

That's all folks!
