The Daily Newds


  • A church in Coral Springs, Florida, wants to teach the bare naked truth about sex. Another church is offering porn and pancakes in upper New York state.
  • A woman in Tehachapi, California, freaks out when she notices a man viewing semi-naked pictures of other men on a library computer in sight of her children.
    I've grown tired of "political correctness". The situation was very clear, a sexual deviate was in the library abusing the resources of Kern County...viewing homosexual material, and if I had done what I wanted to do to him for bringing his filth within sight of the children around him, I am certain I would have been arrested.
    I was not there, so I cannot really comment on the material the man was allegedly viewing, but if it was indeed adult in content the man was behaving irresponsibly. But this woman has to understand that it is her responsibility to educate her children, and to be always present when they are in public places as long as they are underage and need parental guidance. In the late 1950s when I was a kid I remember being taught never to talk to strangers, or accept money or candy. It's a no-brainer. By the way, the library has their Internet policy online and here is a snippet:
    Parents and legal guardians are responsible for their minor children's use of the Internet. Parents and guardians should supervise all Internet sessions of minors in their custody...The library cannot protect users from materials they may find offensive.
    Living in a free country means that we might sometimes encounter things that upset us, so it falls back to personal responsibility to ensure that we live the lives that we want to live, and let others live theirs, so we can all live together.
  • Liz Renay has died at the age of 80. Other than being mobster Mickey Cohen's girlfriend, she once streaked naked down Hollywood Boulevard, was arrested, and eventually acquitted.
  • There is an audio interview online with Cheri Alexander of Travelites. Good idea, but the interviewer is pretty inept, worth a listen to though for what Cheri has to say.
  • An African-American graduate student at the University of Binghampton posted a series of photos showing nude Caucasian women as a protest against the showing on campus of nude African women from the 40s and 50s. You would think that a college would encourage students to speak out and express themselves in creative ways, but instead UB has revoked the student's Internet privileges, including access to e-mail, and she is being accused of copyright infringement and misuse of the University network.
  • Arkansas mothers need your help in changing the law to protect breastfeeding mothers. Currently there is no legal protection for mothers nursing in public places.
  • A Reno strip club owner alleges that local detectives are harassing the dancers, even offering them money for sex and ogling them when they are nude.
    "They are spending tax dollars to go after entertainers' licenses and at the same time they don't make it easy for them to get the licenses. The SET team must think it's easier to go after Crystal the entertainer than crystal meth."
  • A town in Australia published a calendar with nude local men to raise money for a community health center.
    Though some people came down with a bad case of camera shyness, others just needed the right kind of persuasion. Bob the dairy farmer is 72 or 73, Colin reckons and he had his grandson with him when he was approached. The youngun was enthusiastic. "Come on pop, we’ll both do it, we'll both do it."
  • A Yonkers, New York, seventh-grade teacher has been reassigned after he invited students to draw pictures of male genitalia on the chalkboard during health class.
    ...the administration learned of the drawings at the Pearls Hawthorne school when a parent complained. At least one parent said he did not believe the material was inappropriate."This is biology, it's anatomy, it's human sexuality," said Jon Klibonoff, who has a child at the school but not in the class. "They're in puberty. They're aware of it on one level or another."
  • An Australian zoo is putting humans on display in cages in order to raise awareness of primate conservation.
    Dr. Carla Litchfield, who is conducting the experiment, has laid down firm rules for the new apes: no nudity, no rude behaviour and no jumping into the enclosure spa.
  • A New Zealand university student is in trouble for getting naked in Antarctica. They should be giving her a medal.
