Petter Hegre (of Hegre-Archives.com fame) is launching The New Nude Magazine, which looks to be awesome. The magazine isn’t just limited to Hegre’s photography though, it also features the work of a bunch of other photographers who share the same style that Hegre has made famous.

As long as it features heavy doses of Luba, I’m sure it’ll do just fine. Hopefully it doesn’t end up being a re-hash of content already available on his main website.

A Republican member of the Colorado legislature is in a bit of hot water after telling a colleague, “If you try that again, I’ll ram my fist up your ass”. I guess he’s not a social conservative.

Is there a Tootsie sequel in the mix? Three more pictures after the jump (click the PERMALINK text below).

A woman in Alaska cut off her boyfriends penis and flushed it down the toilet after he told her he wanted to break up with her.

Sex shops in NYC, and probably elsewhere too, are selling pre-paid porn cards (PPP) that have a scratch-off section with a code underneath that gives holders access to adult sites without the use of a credit card. Great for you privacy buffs.

A student at the University of California, San Diego, used the university’s closed circuit television station to show some home-made porn. Suprisingly, the university itself is not taking a position on the issue:

School administrators are staying out of the fight, saying it’s up to the student government to determine if York and the station violated any rules.

UPDATE Or, maybe the administration is going to get involved now that the incident has made big news.

The porn scandal in Tahiland of Natt Chanapa. Hardcore porn is apparently illegal in Thailand (conservative Buddhists run the government there), but the people seem to have different opinions.

Chanapa became instantly popular based on the media and police attention she gained as a result of the investigation and has been offered large sums for mainstream acting and modeling jobs. In addition, and far more striking, is the widespread mainstream interest in the video itself. It would seem that if only 10 copies of the illicit video compact disc (VCD) were in Thailand before the story broke, by the following day millions of copies were changing hands throughout the country.

It would seem that the government’s effort to suppress the illicit material has only served to fan the flames of Chanapa’s popularity and that of the video itself, taking the underground video from the shadowy black market and thrusting it into mainstream pop culture.

I think this kind of cultural ‘rebellion’ is almost certain to happen anywhere that you have citizens with alot of freedoms and a sexually repressive government. Hell, its probably in its early stages here in the US – porn has become alot more popular and accepted just along with the government (FCC) becoming more conservative and restricting with what they will allow on the airwaves.
