Sex in the news

The annual Erotica Expo in Auckland is on again these days and to promote the event there will be a "Boobs on Bikes" parade down Queen Street (the town's main drag) this Wednesday lunchtime. It's been done before and the police have given the go ahead.
But this time the City fathers and mothers - anxious to find an issue to divert attention from the disastrous local tax hikes hitting people this month - have jumped up and down to get a ban instated. It won't happen this year but apparently a by-law is in the making that would ban a similar parade in future. Which would be like, really, really stupid. Don't these pitiful Council sods not know that heterosexuality needs all the promotion it can muster?

Fifteen years ago we paraded down Queen Street in the first two Hero Parades dressed only in leather harnesses and jockstraps scaring the then city mums and dads out their wits. A few boobs on bikes shouldn't really need to worry them, their straight sons seem to be easily satisfied.

Grenzeloze Liefde (again)

The email alerts started flowing immediately when Belgian Television announced - with full scale station promos, no less - that our TV documentary was going to be broadcast again.
Two and a half years ago a team came over to make a film about my life here down under. I've blogged about it at the time. I doubt we got this time another 500,000 viewers but you never know.

Back from holiday

So it's again time for joining an irrelevant but fun meme: How many urban transit systems have you been on?

On holiday

See you all later this month. Or come join us on the beach.
Not much net access there, not that I want to. But a country with a .co.ck domain name definitely has possibilities - not that they want to know anything about that.

Knowing your Ps from your Qs

Which punctuation mark are you test result:

hyphen You scored 38% Sociability and 47% Sophistication!

You are comfortable around others. While you don't have to go out every night, yet you take pride in being easy to get along with. This should not, however, be misconstrued as believing (as many do) that you are without subtlety. In fact, you have the power to inform the anal retentive that, indeed, they are discussing an anal-retentive issue. Who else can do that? Quotation marks intimidate you a little bit.

I like it, especially the anal-retentive bit. It strokes my inner Aspie.
