I heart the ACLU

Vaginal Variety – Hookers.com

If you don’t read Slate often, you should start now. Apart from being dead on politically (or at least opening a reasoned and rational debate), they often have articles about sex. And this, to put it mildly, is no prude shit (with some economics to boot). Check out “Hookers.com: How e-commerce is transforming the oldest profession”:

Third, there’s what you might call the eBay effect. Before the Internet, there must have been people who wanted to sell Scooby Doo lunch boxes and Star Wars phaser props, and people who wanted to buy them, but how could they connect? Likewise, 10 years ago, even if I’d had the inclination and the $2,500 to spend on vaginal variety, I wouldn’t have had the faintest idea where to turn. But now, thanks to the Web, exchanging dead presidents for live girls couldn’t be easier. And if, as I tend to believe (don’t you?) there are more men who would pay to be “escorted” than gorgeous women willing to provide that service, then the Internet will pull more buyers than sellers into the high-end market, thereby inflating prices.

Amazing (Or, no more wars for Israel)

In the middle of a big anti-Iranian (read: PRO-ISRAEL) rally at Harvard, a guy showed up with these signs:

And was soon confronted… with a fight (check out the video!). And thanks to Publius for the great reporting.

Can we, for the love of G-d, talk about 9/11 more?

A poem about 9/11:

News About Asians and Perverts

You know why they say the Style section is the place to throw the filler written by a slack jawed English major? Because it is! Evidence is the following, from a recent Washington Post article entitled ‘Japanese Women Catch the ‘Korean Wave’:

She may just have to take a number and get in line. In recent years, the wild success of male celebrities from South Korea — sensitive men but totally ripped — has redefined what Asian women want, from Bangkok to Beijing, from Taipei to Tokyo. Gone are the martial arts movie heroes and the stereotypical macho men of mainstream Asian television. Today, South Korea’s trend-setting screen stars and singers dictate everything from what hair gels people use in Vietnam to what jeans are bought in China.

Slate is finally giving us what we want: plenty of coverage on the anus. How many cell phones can fit in one ass? That’s the question Slate asks and answers (and this includes an MP3 version). They also do us the service that reminding you nothing is safe when you cross the border, including your butthole: ‘Are prison guards and customs officials allowed to check your anal cavity? Yes. The courts have held that anal cavity searches do not necessarily violate the Fourth Amendment.’ And then, there is only slightly eye catching headline of ‘The media’s silence about rampant anal sex.’ Anytime I can read a line like ‘Talking to your kids about oral sex is the easy part. If you’re going to be frank about the most dangerous widespread activity revealed in the survey, you’re looking at the wrong end of the digestive tract.’ in a major publication, I’m pretty happy with the world.

And in possibly the sexiest news possible, ‘Cops say grave robbers had sex on their minds’. Check out this choice excerpt:

On their way to dig up a grave in rural southwestern Wisconsin, the Grunke brothers and a friend stopped at a Wal-Mart to pick up some condoms, authorities said.

Three days later, on Tuesday, twins Nicholas and Alexander Grunke, 20, and Dustin Radke, 20, were charged in Grant County with attempted theft — and attempting to have sex with a corpse.
