Some weirdo in a white van was offering candy to kids in a residential neighborhood in Utah via a sign. Inside the van? Not candy, but a mattress and clothes. Couldn&amp;#39;t get much sketchier than that without the prevert himself lurking in there. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Outraged Utah moms contacted police straight away, who found that the perp was...&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;A college kid playing a prank. The young man was embarassed at the stir he caused, and even drove the van to the police station to show that has van was all de-pedophiled. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Related:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h4 class="CommonSearchResultName"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/01/30/quot-to-catch-a-predator-quot-actress-just-called-them-quot-pedophiles-quot-thank-you-very-much.aspx"&gt;&amp;quot;To Catch a Predator&amp;quot; Actress Just Called Them &amp;quot;Pedophiles,&amp;quot; Thank You Very Much&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h4 class="CommonSearchResultName"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2009/02/11/teen-boy-and-his-friends-busted-for-sending-nude-photos.aspx"&gt;Teen Boy and His Friends Busted for Sending Nude Photos&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/h4&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&amp;amp;sid=6412895" target="_blank"&gt;Via&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.nerve.com/CS/aggbug.aspx?PostID=203068" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/pedophiles/default.aspx">pedophiles</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/perverts/default.aspx">perverts</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/pranks/default.aspx">pranks</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/utah/default.aspx">utah</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/predators/default.aspx">predators</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/preverts/default.aspx">preverts</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/warnings/default.aspx">warnings</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/strangers+with+candy/default.aspx">strangers with candy</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/stranger+danger/default.aspx">stranger danger</category></item><item><title>Sloppy Seconds: Hand Jobs Involving the Mouth</title><link>http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2009/04/16/sloppy-seconds-hand-jobs-involving-the-mouth.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 16 Apr 2009 22:08:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">bd485f5c-a45b-491f-8e52-c79e7f680fc3:196690</guid><dc:creator>Brian Fairbanks</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><wfw:commentRss xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/">http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=196690</wfw:commentRss><comments>http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2009/04/16/sloppy-seconds-hand-jobs-involving-the-mouth.aspx#comments</comments><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/2009/04/16-22/obama.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/2009/04/16-22/obama.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;The teabagging hilarity continues: this roundup of &lt;a href="http://feeds.gawker.com/%7Er/gawker/full/%7E3/8H5-oovOamk/oh--thats-what-that-means-fox-news-learns-the-definition-of-teabagging" target="_blank"&gt;great tea puns&lt;/a&gt; is well worth checking out. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;While we&amp;#39;re at it, here&amp;#39;s another &lt;a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/%7Er/mediamatters/latest/%7E3/nveIMRvqmS0/200904160027" target="_blank"&gt;made-up&lt;/a&gt; Fox News &amp;quot;scandal.&amp;quot; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;An obviously crazy man &lt;a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30226391/" target="_blank"&gt;bit off his own penis&lt;/a&gt; in our old neighborhood of Ft.

And really, what we&amp;#39;re talking about here is only one small step toward putting an end to teacher sex, but one giant step for the state of Utah. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Following reports that not one, but two teachers in the aptly-named town of Bountiful, UT were &lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2009/03/09/here-s-a-kind-of-teacher-sex-story-we-ve-never-seen-before.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;banging the same underage student&lt;/a&gt;, the state&amp;#39;s lawmakers have decided to &amp;#39;study the issue of teacher-student texting.&amp;#39;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We didn&amp;#39;t know such practices were even allowed, let alone considered appropriate (the one time we had to call a teacher at home we almost shit our pants) but apparently all the kids are texting their teachers these days. One republican representative, Rep. Sheryl Allen, thinks maybe it&amp;#39;s not such a big deal. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;It can be used as a tool to remind students about homework or give them a piece of information. Students are driving this because texting is one of their major modes of communication,&amp;quot; she said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, the two teachers involved in the case, Linda Nef, 46, and Valynne Bowers, 39—who both face first-degree felony charges—will undergo mental health evaluations.

width="414" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;It&amp;#39;s not even ten a.m. on the first day of this workweek, and there are already two bizarre teacher sex scandals to report. The first featured a kid, having engaged in a sexual relationship with his teacher since October, caught by the principal... (literally) with his pants down.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Now comes the story of yet another lecherous teacher and her teenage male victim. However, this case features a twist that we could never have predicted, even after reading of dozens of these cases over the years.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;When 46-year-old junior high school teacher Linda Nef walked into a police station near Bountiful, Utah, cops had no idea a major media firestorm was about to descend on them. When Nef confessed to having sex with a thirteen-year-old male student, she fingered Valynn Bowers, 39, as a fellow rapist... of the same boy.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Bowers, in case you haven&amp;#39;t figured this out, is a teacher at the same school.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;According to local media reports, &lt;strike&gt;Hef&lt;/strike&gt; Nef started sleeping with the boy first, but was dumped for an unknown other party, with whom the boy has been carrying on a sexual relationship for the past three months. One day, Bowers entered Nef&amp;#39;s classroom and confronted her in what may have been a jealous rage, telling the older teacher, &amp;quot;I&amp;#39;m the new girlfriend.&amp;quot; Or she could have simply said, &amp;quot;Hey, we really screwed the pooch on this one.&amp;quot; However, we doubt that last part, as Nef is the one that freaked out and went to the police after the revelations. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;The local news, predictably, has a unintentionally hilarious time trying to figure out how to work with these details:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;With the suspects being so much older than their victim some wonder what would prompt them to commit the crime. 
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="padding:0px;"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;
University of Utah psychology professor Don Strassberg says that would
be an easier question to answer if the teachers were men. With men, he
says, &lt;b&gt;it&amp;#39;s probably about the sex&lt;/b&gt;.
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;But it&amp;#39;s more complicated when you&amp;#39;re talking about women. For
them, Strassberg says getting into a relationship like this is likely
more about them: their needs, having control, getting attention.
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Thank you, Professor Obvious.

of all, a guy has to go from being a gay porn star to working at
Subway. Worse, he has to endure getting fired from his job at Subway
when his previous career choice is discovered. &lt;a href="http://queersunited.blogspot.com/2008/09/subway-fires-former-gay-porn-star.html" target="_blank"&gt;Queers United&lt;/a&gt; takes up his

alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;The question posed by our headline is the very question the United Provinces of Canadia is dealing with today, thanks to a case involving the practice that is heating up in the country&amp;#39;s courts. Two men linked to Warren Jeffs, the nutso Utah sect leader, currently facing serious jail time, are each of accused of having multiple wives.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Their argument is simple...&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Blackmore’s lawyer, Blair Suffredine, said during a telephone interview that marriage standards in Canada have changed.	

&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;“&lt;b&gt;If (homosexuals) can marry, what is the reason that public
policy says one person can’t marry more than one person?&lt;/b&gt;” said
Suffredine, a former provincial lawmaker. Canada’s Parliament extended
full marriage rights to same-sex couples in 2005. &lt;/i&gt;[&lt;a href="http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Canada/2009/01/21/8101186-ap.html" target="_blank"&gt;Canoe&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Before you go and get all excited, remember this: we are creeped out by these Jeffian cultists as much as the next person, but should we promote gay marriage while also saying, &amp;quot;Oh, but yeah... we don&amp;#39;t condone that totally medieval practice?&amp;quot; Are we any better than those wacko Republicans who claim gay marriage in America will open the floodgates for people to marry their pet snakes, underage relatives with eight heads, and horny lepers.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;P.S. Ironically, it was one gay couple&amp;#39;s battles with the legal system reminded them of what polygamists must go through, and that thinking led to their HBO series &lt;i&gt;Big Love&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Related&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h4 class="CommonSearchResultName"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/09/11/ellen-degeneres-portia-de-rossi-lesbian-wedding-video-california.aspx"&gt;Ellen and Portia&amp;#39;s Wedding Video Makes Us Cry...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4 class="CommonSearchResultName"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/05/20/sloppy-seconds-ellen-degeneris-gay-marriage.aspx"&gt;Who Says Homosexuality and Polygamy Are The Same Thing?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4 class="CommonSearchResultName"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/04/15/big-love-polygamy-rape-child-brides-texas.aspx"&gt;Big, Big Love Gone Real, Real Bad&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4 class="CommonSearchResultName"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2009/01/20/this-week-in-gayness-two-major-male-movie-stars-make-out.aspx"&gt;This Week In Gayness: Two Major Male Movie Stars Make Out&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.nerve.com/CS/aggbug.aspx?PostID=167024" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/scanner+roundtable/default.aspx">scanner roundtable</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/gay+marriage/default.aspx">gay marriage</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/HBO/default.aspx">HBO</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/canada/default.aspx">canada</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/Republican/default.aspx">Republican</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/america/default.aspx">america</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/lawyers/default.aspx">lawyers</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/polygamists/default.aspx">polygamists</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/big+love/default.aspx">big love</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/warren+jeffs/default.aspx">warren jeffs</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/polygamy/default.aspx">polygamy</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/utah/default.aspx">utah</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/polygamist+wives/default.aspx">polygamist wives</category></item><item><title>Chris Rock is Spending Inauguration Day in the Whitest Place in America</title><link>http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2009/01/20/chris-rock-is-spending-inauguration-day-in-the-whitest-place-in-america.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 20 Jan 2009 15:49:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">bd485f5c-a45b-491f-8e52-c79e7f680fc3:166356</guid><dc:creator>Colleen Kane</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><wfw:commentRss xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/">http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=166356</wfw:commentRss><comments>http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2009/01/20/chris-rock-is-spending-inauguration-day-in-the-whitest-place-in-america.aspx#comments</comments><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/chrisrock.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/chrisrock.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;On this historic day, Chris Rock won&amp;#39;t be in Washington, D.C., but promoting a film at Sundance in Utah, or as he puts it, &amp;quot;the whitest place in America.&amp;quot; Here&amp;#39;s his explanation about why it&amp;#39;s hard to make fun of Barack Obama.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;ln an &lt;a href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/01/19/chris.rock.kill.the.messenger/index.html" target="_blank"&gt;interview&lt;/a&gt; with CNN, Rock compares Barack to stars like Will Smith or Brad Pitt. &amp;quot;There&amp;#39;s no Brad Pitt jokes. You know, what are you going to say? &amp;#39;Ooh,
you used to have sex with Jennifer Anniston. Now you have sex with
Angelina Jolie. You&amp;#39;re such a loser.&amp;#39; What do you say? &amp;#39;Ooh, your
movies are big. You make $20 million.&amp;#39; There&amp;#39;s nothing to say about
Brad Pitt.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Likewise, with Obama, &amp;quot;It&amp;#39;s like &amp;#39;Ooh, you&amp;#39;re young and virile and you&amp;#39;ve got a beautiful wife
and kids. You&amp;#39;re the first African-American president.&amp;#39; You know, what
do you say?&amp;quot; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;About the excitement of today, he puts it well: &amp;quot;It&amp;#39;ll be a cool day. It&amp;#39;s weird. I&amp;#39;ve never watched an
inauguration. I&amp;#39;ve never watched anyone get sworn in. You know, it&amp;#39;s
like Election Day and then you look up and somebody else is the
president two months later. It was never like, &amp;quot;I can&amp;#39;t wait till
tomorrow. Oh my god!

While critics of circumcision may think this is a good thing, the reason behind the drop may not be. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Circumcision rates have decreased significantly since the 1980s, partially due to the fact that many people find the procedure cruel and unnecessary, but in part the drop can be attributed to the fact that 16 states do not currently cover the cost of a circumcision in their Medicad programs. According to some, this is taking the choice away from the poor. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Robert C. Bailey, a professor of epidemiology at the University of Illinois at Chicago, thinks that &amp;quot;It&amp;#39;s another way in which our health system is increasing inequality across the population. People who can&amp;#39;t afford good health care are essentially being discriminated against by this policy.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The states that don&amp;#39;t cover circumcision are: Arizona, California, Florida, Idaho, Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, Utah and Washington and circumcision rates are &amp;quot;significantly lower&amp;quot; in those states, according to the research.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;[US News &amp;amp; World Report: &lt;a href="http://health.usnews.com/articles/health/healthday/2008/12/23/circumcision-rates-too-low.html" target="_blank"&gt;Circumcision Rates Too Low&lt;/a&gt;] &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Related:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h4 class="CommonSearchResultName"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/10/23/reversing-that-circumcision-even-scarier-than-you-thought.aspx"&gt;Reversing That Circumcision Even Scarier Than You Thought&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4 class="CommonSearchResultName"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/10/17/you-re-circumcised-well-that-explains-it.aspx"&gt;You&amp;#39;re Circumcised?

Kimberly/Kimberlee Arigot, seen here in her mugshot, has allegedly been sleeping with the two teenage males, aged 15 and 17, for more than a year, while texting at least one other boy with whom she did not have sexual relations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;The Salt Lake City-area Mom, who is apparently single, has posted bail and is back at home, where several of the encounters are believed to have taken place.

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A boy in Florida was arrested for something heinous. No, we mean the &lt;i&gt;reason&lt;/i&gt; he was arrested was heinous. Oh, never mind, you&amp;#39;ll see:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Maybe the 13-year-old student at Martin County&amp;#39;s &lt;a href="http://spectrum.sbmc.org/"&gt;Spectrum Junior/Senior High&lt;/a&gt; thought he was being funny by repeatedly and purposely &lt;b&gt;passing gas&lt;/b&gt; during computer class.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;His teacher, D.C. Carden, didn&amp;#39;t bust a gut over the boy&amp;#39;s breaking
wind - not to mention his continuous turning off classroom computers -
so he gave the boy a referral and sent him packing to the school
resource officer for a little talk. &amp;quot;He
subsequently informed me it was factual, and I informed him as a result
of his behavior he was being charged with &lt;a href="http://www.leg.state.fl.us/STATUTES/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;amp;Search_String=&amp;amp;URL=Ch0877/SEC13.HTM&amp;amp;Title=-%3E2008-%3ECh0877-%3ESection%2013#0877.13"&gt;Disruption of a School Function&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;The boy was arrested for farting. He was released to his mom.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span&gt;That was &lt;i&gt;Milk &lt;/i&gt;star &lt;b&gt;Diego Luna&lt;/b&gt;, when asked how it was kissing &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="name"&gt;Sean Penn&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, who plays iconic gay rights activist (and Luna&amp;#39;s boyfriend the film) &lt;b&gt;Harvey Milk&lt;/b&gt;. &amp;quot;[Sean]&amp;#39;s not a great kisser,&amp;quot; Diego, who shot to fame in &lt;i&gt;Y Tu Mamá También&lt;/i&gt;, continued bravely, as only non-Hollywood actors seem capable of. &amp;quot;I guess he was thinking about &lt;b&gt;Franco&lt;/b&gt;.&amp;quot; As in &lt;b&gt;James&lt;/b&gt;, who plays Penn&amp;#39;s &lt;i&gt;other&lt;/i&gt; BF in the flick. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;i&gt;So I pressed Franco on how the hell S.P. smooches. He
literally went on for five minutes talking about something else....
I insisted on a pecker report! &amp;quot;It was&lt;i&gt;...fine&lt;/i&gt;,&amp;quot; Franco finally answered, with a tiny smile.&lt;/i&gt; [&lt;a href="http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/the_awful_truth/b67984_sean_penn_lousy_gay_lover.html?sid=rss_awful&amp;amp;utm_source=eonline&amp;amp;utm_medium=rssfeeds&amp;amp;utm_campaign=rss_awful" target="_blank"&gt;E!&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Oooh, you tease us with those words &amp;quot;pecker report.&amp;quot; Shame, shame. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Courtney Love has the sinking suspicion some people were &lt;a href="http://feeds.gawker.com/%7Er/defamer/full/%7E3/QZB92tkuWBE/no-courtney-love-didnt-not-vote-no-on-prop-8-yes" target="_blank"&gt;against Prop 8&lt;/a&gt;
before they were for it. Or the reverse. Or something. Meanwhile, a
third of the state&amp;#39;s lawmakers are hoping the courts can do something
about &lt;a href="http://www.topix.net/news/gay/2008/11/lawmakers-join-call-to-overturn-prop-8?fromrss=1" target="_blank"&gt;the new gay marriage ban&lt;/a&gt; in California.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Keith Olbermann pretty much&lt;a href="http://queersunited.blogspot.com/2008/11/keith-olbermann-true-hero-ally.html" target="_blank"&gt; puts it all into perspective&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cVUecPhQPqY&amp;amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cVUecPhQPqY&amp;amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;And lesbians are under attack... in Canada.

Lesbians,&amp;quot; he said, spitting in Dimitriou&amp;#39;s face. As she wiped her
face, eyes closed, he punched her on the cheek and wound up again,
slamming her backward into her truck. As Currie ran toward him, she
remembers him shouting, &amp;quot;F------ dyke bitches,&amp;quot; and punched her on the
cheekbone so hard the skin burst apart, blood splattering.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;What
Currie remembers most, from the afternoon of Nov. 3, is the stillness
of the schoolchildren, and the sound of her six-year-old son screaming.
&amp;quot;It was a face of complete and utter horror,&amp;quot; Currie said in an
interview yesterday. &amp;quot;His mouth was wide open, and he just stood there,
screaming.&amp;quot; &lt;/i&gt;[&lt;a href="http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/article/534469" target="_blank"&gt;The Star&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Related&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h4 class="CommonSearchResultName"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/11/05/this-week-in-gayness-we-say-no-to-that-yes-on-prop-8.aspx"&gt;This Week In Gayness: We Say No To That Yes On Prop 8&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4 class="CommonSearchResultName"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/10/28/sloppy-seconds-the-evangelical-sex-craze.aspx"&gt;Sloppy Seconds: The Evangelical Sex Craze&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4 class="CommonSearchResultName"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/10/28/this-week-in-gayness-guy-attacked-at-anti-proposition-8-rally.aspx"&gt;This Week In Gayness: Guy Attacked At Proposition 8 Protest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4 class="CommonSearchResultName"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/10/21/this-week-in-gayness-ellen-vs-the-bigots.aspx"&gt;This Week in Gayness: Ellen vs. the Bigots&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4 class="CommonSearchResultName"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/10/20/video-of-the-day-vote-no-on-prop-8.aspx"&gt;Video of the Day: Vote No on Prop 8&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4 class="CommonSearchResultName"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/10/16/gay-marriage-god-is-gonna-getcha-claim-scary-freaks.aspx"&gt;Gay Marriage: God Is Gonna Getcha...

The next thing you know, the girl, who was 15 at the time of these assaults, is being kicked out of school...&amp;nbsp; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;According to the Salt Lake Tribune, this high school student is no saint:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span id="slt_site"&gt;&lt;span id="slt_article"&gt;During a Sept. 18 bail
hearing for Fanjul, prosecutors acknowledged the girl was &amp;quot;sexually
posturing&amp;quot; with a third teacher. While arguing to reduce Fanjul&amp;#39;s bail,
defense attorney Kenneth Brown pointed to that allegation and the
girl&amp;#39;s subsequent departure from the school. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span id="slt_site"&gt;&lt;span id="slt_article"&gt;An administrator reportedly said, &amp;quot;I hope that she never
comes back because she is a predator,&amp;quot; Brown told 3rd District Judge
Ann Boyden.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Luckily for all involved, the third teacher reported the come-on to the proper authorities, who immediately removed the troubled child. The question the judge has to weigh now, of course, is to what degree does the girl&amp;#39;s seduction techniques weigh in on the charges, if any? Of course, the law doesn&amp;#39;t give a rat&amp;#39;s turd about how the incident occurred (unless, of course, the girl raped the teachers or something similar), it&amp;#39;s going to punish these fools for a long time. (The guidance counselor was sentence to three terms of up to 15 years each.) &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Here&amp;#39;s something else to keep in mind in our People&amp;#39;s Court out here: Jose Fanjul, who protests his innocence, is also accused of sending a text to another student asking if he can be her boyfriend. This guy doesn&amp;#39;t sound like he was helpless to the teenage girl&amp;#39;s charms... again, not that it matters. What do you think?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Via the &lt;a href="http://www.sltrib.com/news/ci_10543068" target="_blank"&gt;Salt Lake Tribune&lt;/a&gt;.

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There&amp;#39;s a Lifetime movie in here somewhere... if the female leads in Lifetime movies were kidnapping rapist beauty pageant winners who fall in love with Mormon missionaries, stalk them for decades, change their names, go on the lam, and turn up in the news in 2008 as the owner of &lt;i&gt;cloned dogs&lt;/i&gt;...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Time&lt;/i&gt; Magazine broke a story that shows Bernann McKinney, owner of five pitbulls she claims to have have had cloned in Seoul from the ear of her beloved (now deceased) former dog, to be, with a great degree of certainty, none other than wanted bail jumper Joyce McKinney, the former Miss Wyoming.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is so much goodness here, you&amp;#39;re just going to have to settle for the original, full-length piece, although here&amp;#39;s a taste in the meantime:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;The 27-year-old McKinney was accused in court [in 1977]... of abducting 21-year-old Mormon missionary Kirk Anderson
from a church in a London suburb... [where] he
was chained to a [cottage] bed and forced to have sex with McKinney for three
days. McKinney, once a Mormon herself, was said to have formed a crush
on him after they&amp;#39;d first had sex in &amp;#39;75. Anderson tried to
break off the relationship but McKinney... stalked him
to England where [he&amp;#39;d become a] missionary to escape her
attentions.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;McKinney claimed that she was trying to rekindle her affair with
Anderson using techniques of seduction recommended by... &lt;/i&gt;The Joy of Sex&lt;i&gt;.  
&lt;/i&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;
McKinney told the court that the chains, fur-lined manacles, rope,
chloroform and wedding trousseau complete with &amp;quot;pink feathers and
see-through nighties&amp;quot; were all props for the bondage sessions she
planned for [him.] &amp;quot;We had such a fun time — just like old times,&amp;quot;
McKinney told the court in her native North Carolina drawl. &amp;quot;I love him
so much that I would ski naked down Mount Everest with a carnation up
my nose if he asked me to,&amp;quot; she added. Such sexual frankness rather
stuck out in a magistrates court in sedate, suburban Surrey, England,
in those days. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;
For his part, Anderson claimed that he&amp;#39;d been kidnapped at gunpoint,
forced to have sex while chained to the bed (and twice more unchained),
and that, despite being six foot four and 240 lbs., had never
resisted. &amp;quot;I had made a plan for my release,&amp;quot; Anderson testified, &amp;quot;but
it wasn&amp;#39;t through running away. I was going to cooperate.&amp;quot; Even after
his ordeal, when McKinney and May drove him back to London and a long
lunch in Trafalgar Square, he still cooperated.&lt;/i&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;We call bullshit on that last paragraph-- the entire paragraph. Anyway, there is some plausibility to this story; McKinney then went on the run with a friend who was also involved in the kidnapping, ending up in police custody in Atlanta, although she was released because her case was felt to be unworthy of an extradition order. In 1984, McKinney was busted again, this time in Utah, outside Anderson&amp;#39;s office, with rope and handcuffs in her car. &amp;quot;Consensual,&amp;quot; my ass. Soon after, all traces of her disappear... until...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;In Seoul... [she] denied... that she is one
and the same Joyce McKinney who is still technically a fugitive from
British justice... Both [McKinney and Bernann] are former
beauty queens, both often use a wheelchair, both owned a pitbull. And
on the voter&amp;#39;s register of Avery County, the North Carolina birthplace
of the onetime Miss Wyoming, there is listed one Joyce Bernann
McKinney. A clone perhaps? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Via &lt;a href="http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1830818,00.html" target="_blank"&gt;Time&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.nerve.com/CS/aggbug.aspx?PostID=116126" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/dogs/default.aspx">dogs</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/weird+animals/default.aspx">weird animals</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/london/default.aspx">london</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/mormons/default.aspx">mormons</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/S_2600_amp_3B00_M/default.aspx">S&amp;amp;M</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/kidnapped/default.aspx">kidnapped</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/weird/default.aspx">weird</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/rape/default.aspx">rape</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/today+in+wtf/default.aspx">today in wtf</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/trials/default.aspx">trials</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/utah/default.aspx">utah</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/missionary/default.aspx">missionary</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/wyoming/default.aspx">wyoming</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/cloned/default.aspx">cloned</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/lam/default.aspx">lam</category></item><item><title>The Top 10 Weirdest Sex Laws</title><link>http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/07/09/the-top-10-weirdest-sex-laws.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 09 Jul 2008 19:02:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">bd485f5c-a45b-491f-8e52-c79e7f680fc3:107979</guid><dc:creator>Brian Fairbanks</dc:creator><slash:comments>2</slash:comments><wfw:commentRss xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/">http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=107979</wfw:commentRss><comments>http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/07/09/the-top-10-weirdest-sex-laws.aspx#comments</comments><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/2008/07/08-15/sex.gif"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/2008/07/08-15/sex.gif" border="0" height="371" width="371" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;We want to defy the logic of these sex laws.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Top 10 Weirdest Sex Laws:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;10. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;No one is allowed to have sex in a parked car. Unless the car has (drawn) curtains... in Carlsbad, New Mexico)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;9. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;It&amp;#39;s illegal for a woman to take off her clothes while in front of a man&amp;#39;s photo in &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Oxford, Ohio.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;8. It is against the law for husbands to to talk dirty (&amp;quot;curse at his wife&amp;quot;) during intercourse in &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Willowdale, Oregon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;7. The missionary position is the only sexual position allowed by law in Washington, DC.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;6. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Women, married or not, husbands about to die or not, are not allowed to have sex with while riding in an ambulance. &amp;quot;In addition to normal charges, the woman&amp;#39;s name will be
    published in the local newspaper. The man does not receive any punishment,&amp;quot; courtesy of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Tremonton, Utah.&lt;/font&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;5. Giving or receiving head is against the law in 18 states, including Arizona and Utah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;4. For reasons we don&amp;#39;t want to know, it&amp;#39;s against the law to get it on with a truck driver inside a toll booth in Harrisonburg, PA.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;   &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;3. Sticking your dick in a porcupine is illegal in Florida. (We&amp;#39;d like to think this law is unnecessary, but we&amp;#39;re talking about Florida here...) &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;2. It is against the law for a man to fire a gun while his female partner is having an orgasm in &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Connorsville, Wisconsin. (Wait, is he firing a gun to blow her mind? To kill her for coming before him? Because he&amp;#39;s been finished for ten minutes and was trying to clean his rifle? What?) &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;1. And having bestiality with animals is &lt;i&gt;legal&lt;/i&gt; for men, &amp;quot;as long as the animal weighs less than 40 pounds,&amp;quot; in the great state of Washington. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Honorable Mentions&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;It is illegal in Utah to marry your first cousin before the age of 65.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;In Kingsville, Texas there is a law against two pigs having sex on the city&amp;#39;s
    airport property. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;And &amp;quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;a law in Fairbanks, Alaska does not allow moose to have sex on city streets.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Via &lt;a href="http://www.bertc.com/sexlaws.htm" target="_blank"&gt;Bert C&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://media.www.ecollegetimes.com/media/storage/paper991/news/2008/07/03/Top10s/Top-Ten.Wtf.Us.Sex.Laws-3388114.shtml" target="_blank"&gt;College Times&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.nerve.com/CS/aggbug.aspx?PostID=107979" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/weird+animals/default.aspx">weird animals</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/sex/default.aspx">sex</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/florida/default.aspx">florida</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/bestiality/default.aspx">bestiality</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/top+ten+lists/default.aspx">top ten lists</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/top+10/default.aspx">top 10</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/sex+laws/default.aspx">sex laws</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/weird+laws/default.aspx">weird laws</category><category domain="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/utah/default.aspx">utah</category></item></channel></rss>
