South Africa Sex Workers Will Not Take It Lying Down In the World Cup
Everybody is whetting their tools to cash in on the World Cup gravy train in South Africa. I have been waiting for the sex workers to stake their claim to the pie, in cash or in kind. The bomb has just gone off.
Pegging demands for better terms to the impending World Cup is the in-thing. Stadium workers fired the first salvo, security personnel, taxi operators and council employees followed in quick succession.
Now it is the turn of sex workers to drop the bombshell! Knowing that they are a vital service industry that though illegal will be critical in spicing up the World Cup spirit, they are grabbing the opportunity to demand legal recognition.
Picture this; the influx of prostitutes from EU bloc in the last World Cup in Germany was a record. South Africa may reduce that record to a pittance; blame it on the power of the Euro!
Their demand has been long in coming, probably because they are illegal and not unionized so far but it is finally here. The Sex Workers are ready to play ball in the World Cup but not unconditionally.
They are calling for the legalization of their trade before the World Cup to reduce the spread of HIV! If not a total overhaul of the law, then a temporary amnesty in time for the World Cup. This is a subtle maneuver but still may produce results.
Eric Harper, director of the Cape Town-based Sex Worker Education and Advocacy Taskforce (SWEAT), told CNN that the World Cup would inevitably lead to a demand for sex workers. Since prostitution is illegal in South Africa, Eric Harper believes decriminalizing prostitution can help control the spread of HIV.
His concern stems from the fact that the half a million fans expected with the World Cup will increase the demand for sex, "And where there's demand there will be a supply," Harper told CNN. "It could be a potential recipe for disaster both for the clients and the sex workers," he added.
Eric Harper is concerned that since prostitution is illegal, sex workers will be exposed to pregnancies, violence, rape and HIV. Had it been legal, it would have been easier to distribute condoms to the workers and have them reject those who refuse to use protection.
Throughout the world people have acknowledged that if you want to reduce HIV you need to be able to engage the population and address human rights concerns," he told CNN.
"One of the key messages is that decriminalization is a way of accessing sex workers.”
His other concern is of rape and crime. This is not quite sincere though. Sex Workers are the most violent lot, second only to thugs. South African Sex Workers especially are not a tame lot. It is not uncommon for them to demand their dues with a knife or a gun. Unless, occasionally, when they meet their match.
My sexcapadian counterparts from around the world should come loaded with cash or else they will go back from the World Cup minus their balls.
The South African authorities though are not giving in to their demands easily. South Africa's Law Reform Commission is expected to make its recommendations to the Minister of Justice in 2011 as part of a larger assessment of all sexual offenses.
So, what next the Sex Workers will do remains unknown but one thing I am sure is, it is a fait accompli, Sex will be available across the street to every other World Cup fan that feels an itch in his pant.
I hope there wont be xenophobic attacks on fellow sex workers from neighboring countries who would definitely troop to South Africa to make some bucks on the first World Cup in African soil. I would prefer a buffet of African delicacies to local South African cuisine!
They are claiming that they will not take it lying down but can there ever be a successful strike by sex workers anywhere in the world this century? Can sex crunch really hurt the economy or the population or the South African World Cup for that matter?

"Wicked Witch of the North": Gays have the loudest laugh!
"Wicked Witch of the North": Gays have the loudest laugh!
The wife of Northern Ireland's first minister, DUP leader Peter Robinson, tried to kill herself while suffering depression after an affair.
Iris Robinson, who describes herself as ‘born again and again Christian’, and a renowned anti-gay, attempted suicide following an affair in February 2009. She said she was "completely ashamed and deeply embarrassed" by the affair which had "devastated" her life and the lives of those around her.
What a shame for Iris Robinson who declares gay as ‘an abomination’! Like all other self proclaimed moralists, they preach water and take wine in the cover of darkness. The fall is hardest for them, no wonder Irish Robinson attempted suicide out of shame.
Iris Robinson said the affair started when she was providing support to a man who had suffered a bereavement. She said she would "pay any price on earth" to take back the wrong she had done and added that she believed she has been forgiven by God. She subsequently resigned as DUP member for Strangford in December.
In 2008 she was voted "UK Bigot of the Year 2008" by gay rights association Stonewall.
Is Iris Robinson forgiven for the affair by the public?

White House pissed off with use of Michelle Obama’s pic!
White House pissed off with use of Michelle Obama’s pic!
Is the US First Family too soft, too kind or just very likable? The last time it was Michelle Obama caricatured into an ape that became an internet hit and now the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has used Michelle Obama’s image without the consent of the First Family.
Endangered Apes are definitely part of the PETA family (pun not intended).
In the ad, Michelle Obama is pictured standing alongside Oprah Winfrey, Tyra Banks, and Carrie Underwood under the slogan "Fur-free and fabulous!" The ads, which PETA says features "a bevy of the smartest, most stylish, and most influential women in America," are being plastered all over the Washington D.C. Metro mass transit system, in addition to appearing in various magazines and websites.
Oprah Winfrey, Tyra Banks and Carrie Underwood have openly endorsed PETA’s anti-fur efforts before but Michelle Obama cannot endorse special interest group such as PETA. The White House is not amused about this.
A White House spokeswoman declared that they didn’t consent to the use of the image but PETA is adamant. PETA says that they will not take down the ads and maintains that Michelle Obama's past anti-fur declarations essentially give them license to use her image in a campaign.
The First Family has been used in various campaigns for non-profit before. Sasha and Malia dolls and Michelle Obama dolls have once appeared.
PETA had better used animals in their campaigns to show us the fabulous side of animals but it seems they too want to capitalize on the star power of Michelle Obama. Though I don’t find Michelle Obama stunning, it seems being a member of the US First Family can sell anything.
Soon, expect Michelle Obama in porn sites because definitely Michelle Obama and Barrack Obama have something going in the White House. Whatever the crazies can conjure up will surely hit in cyberspace.
Think it is time Michelle Obama and the White House act tough in protecting their image. A suit is in order or what do you think?

Kanye West: I know why the cretin boy sings?*
Kanye West: I know why the cretin boy sings?*
Did Kanye West trod where the gods cannot dare by ‘comparing’ himself with Maya Angelou in his blog? Absolutely NO! Kanye West did not compare himself with anybody but was just writing his wish list for the New Year in the recording studio like anybody else would.
The fact that Kanye West wished to ‘follow in the footsteps of giants like Maya Angelou, Nina Simone and Gill Scott-Heron’ is an innocent statement that captures his career aspirations: to be counted amongst literary greats. Towards this end, he promised to "bring you the best I have to offer with the same dedication that Kobe [Bryant] has on the court." The media have deliberately obfuscated the facts and screamed ‘Kanye West compares himself with Maya Angelou’
It seems some people have bad blood with Kanye West and would utilize even the slightest of confusion to whip up emotions against him. True that many people took offence with his unbecoming behavior at the MTV Music Video Awards in September when he hijacked Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech but he immediately apologized to Taylor Swift, the public and subsequently took a low profile in remorse.
Why would not the media be fair to him?
Yahoo News even went ahead to highlight Kanye West typographical error in Gill Scott-Heron’s name purposefully to portray his supposed ignorance thus “… and Gill Scott-Heron (whose name West misspells "Herron")...” It even took issue with Kanye West’s use of capital letters. This is petty! Anybody can misspell such a name and since it is Kanye West blog, he can choose to use caps since it is not a scholarly paper.
It seems Kanye West anticipated this when he took a swipe at the media in his blog by encouraging fans to "soak in positive forces and look down upon those who masquerade as truth tellers… Look past the headlines and deal with just a bit of reality.” It cannot have been a better prebuttal.
Maya Angelou is comparatively a towering literary icon, civil right campaigner, lecturer and carries the tag of "America's most visible black female autobiographer" but still we cannot begrudge the fact that Kanye West is an acclaimed musician in his own right. He is young and maybe we are yet to see the last and best of him. He just stated his honest wish.
I will not be surprised at the negative media reviews that Kanye West or Chris Brown will receive in case they release a track. The media relishes on negativity even when the public are willing to forgive the small transgressions that celebrities make sometime just like all other mortals.
Is Kanye West guilty of comparing himself with Maya Angelou or innocent?

Shirtless Tiger is Woody on the Hunk!
Shirtless Tiger is Woody on the Hunk!
I am fascinated with the way people fear critcizing success! There is no way the Tiger Woods am seeing on the cover of Vanity Fair could be labelled sexy, muscular or even masculine! The rave this pic is attracting is not honest. This is a flat, poker-faced, emotioless wimp. God! That is a face of a coward or a pervert!
He looks like a nanny who happens to have stumbled on some muscles pushing a boring pram. In fact, he looks like he is pushing one. A Tiger’s face should be menacing when lifting the irons. Either the guys on Vanity Fair screwed up the photo session or Tiger Woods was having a stomach upset. How can a guy look like that, he is not even straining a single face muscle. Where are his emotions? He is looking like he is disgusted with something! What is it Tiger? Am shocked if his face ever change when having sex!
Vanity Fair, please give Tiger Woods his shirt back. I beg you!
This pic cannot sell a rag, leave alone Vanity Fair! The only luck is because we are dealing with a 14 Majors Champion, First Sport Man Billionaire, 11 Sexcapades Star, otherwise a Tiger Woods is not newsworthy on the nude.
Show me a lady who is gonna go wet her with that Shirtless Tiger image( hapless Tiger) and I will show you a hypocrite.
Guys, let us be honest with the stars, criticize success when it deserves it!

Think you Hot? Try BeautifulPeople.com
Think you Hot? Try BeautifulPeople.com
Forget the mirror; there is a new way of gauging your hotness in town. Apply BeautifulPeople.com and if you make the cut and remain there for some months then you have a reason to flaunt and floss to the less endowed.
BeautifulPeople.com is a dating site that markets itself as an elite community for beautiful people with a "strict ban on ugly people”. It prides itself as "the largest network of attractive people in the world". An "elite online club, where every member works the door" -- that is, users can join only after enough members vote them "beautiful" during the 48 hours after their profile is uploaded.”
"Is it elitist? Yes, it is, because our members want it to be," Greg Hodge, founder member, said when the company started out in 2005. "Is it lookist? Yes, it is, because our members want it to be. Is it PC? No, it's not, but it's honest."
And on this site, beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder; only one in five applicants is normally accepted, a company statement said.
Think you can live carelessly once in the site? You are wrong, whenever you update your pics, members evaluate whether you still hot or gone drab. There is no complacency with beauty!
Hear this; BeautifulPeople.com has axed about 5,000 members for packing on the pounds during the holiday season. The members complained about the fatties and the BeautifulPeople.com management sent the flagged members e-mails telling them they could register again for the site when the extra pudge was gone.
"We responded to complaints by moving the newly chubby members back to the rating stage. This is the same as having them re-apply," Greg Hodge, managing director of BeautifulPeople.com, said in a statement.
The company said it "expelled" 1,520 users from the U.S., 832 from the U.K., 533 from Canada, 510 from Poland, 425 from Germany, 402 from Italy, 323 from France, 220 from Denmark, 176 from Turkey and 88 people from Russia. In the e-mail, it gave users suggestions for boot camps and workout facilities to get themselves back in shape.
So you are hot? Register with this site and please share your experience with me. But, is it worth it? It is you to tell me.

G-spot: End of an error?
G-spot: End of an error?
The G-spot that my middle finger has spent many a nights groping in the bowels of every woman’s pussie searching for it may not be there after all. A study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, involving 1,800 women found no proof of the existence of the G-spot.
I am not convinced though. I have, in numerous occasions touched a button in some women that make them close their eyes and squirm in ecstasy. I wish these guys would have cared to interview men or go dipping their middle fingers in the women they interviewed. You see, most women swoon on orgasm, and will not remember what happened. An accurate picture therefore should be based on observation rather than interviews.
Co-author of the study Professor Tim Spector said: "Women may argue that having a G-spot is due to diet or exercise, but in fact it is virtually impossible to find real traits.” Colleague Andrea Burri was concerned that women who feared they lacked a G-spot might feel inadequate, which she says is unnecessary.
"It is rather irresponsible to claim the existence of an entity that has never been proven and pressurize women and men too."
So, these guys are saying we have wasted 50 years in pursuit of this mirage of a G-spot? I have a feeling that these guys are just playing the devil’s advocate. I have fingered many a woman into orgasm, working on the clit and the G-spot, if it doesn’t exist, then women are smarter in feigning than we have ever given them credit for. We should now be exonerated if we skip foreplay. After all, most men don’t need it; it is for the sake of women.
Some rogue scientist may as well discount the importance of foreplay. These guys are capable of anything.
Dr Petra Boynton, a sexual psychologist at University College London, said: "It's fine to go looking for the G-spot but do not worry if you don't find it.
"It should not be the only focus. Everyone is different."
Well, your pastime is searching for the G-spot, you can as well continue with it.
Ladies, has anybody hit the G-spot in you?
