The Daily Newds


  • A group of Alberta cowgirls posed for a topfree calendar and raised $70,000 for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.
    “It’s raw beauty — we’re real-life women and we didn’t want the photos touched up,” said calendar founder Sabine Van Laere, 41, who presented the cheque during a cattle penning competition at the Okotoks Agricultural Society building.
  • Cities throughout Texas have commissioned a study to determine the negative impact that strip clubs and other adult businesses have on crime. Has anyone ever done a study about the rise in crime when banks and 7-11 stores are opened?
  • Colin McEnroe writes about the nude chocolate Jesus and adds a new theory as to why it is so offensive to some.
    I studied carefully photographs of the statue. It doesn't look irreverent. If I showed you the pictures and told you the statue was carved out of teak, you probably wouldn't be bothered by it, although Salon.com blogger Joan Walsh suggested this week that Cavallaro is pushing at least one other button by depicting Jesus as what New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin would call a "chocolate person." There is, of course, a centuries-old dispute, never to be resolved, about the race of Jesus and the color of his skin. I'm guessing his pigmentation was closer to Golda Meir's than to Alexander Godunov's, but who am I to say?
  • A woman with a history of skin cancer goes to a professional photographer to have every single inch of her nude body documented.
  • According to The Museum of Sex, the number one sexual fetish is feet and toes. Don't tell the right wing moralists because they will try and ban peep-toe shoes.
