Reading the following in today's Metro made me choke on my pitta bread and houmous lunch. I don't know what to say really.

C4 to cover marathon masturbation session

By Finian Davern, Metro

19 July 2006

 

Channel 4 is to screen footage from Britain's first ' marathon masturbation' event.

 

Hundreds of sexual exhibitionists - both male and female - are expected to attend the charity event in Central London early next month.

 

A 60-minute documentary, entitled W***athon, will follow in the autumn.

 

'We feel this is exactly the type of provocative and mischievous programming that Channel 4 should be covering in the 11pm slot,' said Andrew MacKenzie, the broadcaster's factual entertainment commissioning editor. 'Masturbation is something many people do but it is something not many people talk about.'

 

But John Beyer, head of Mediawatch, which campaigns against 'offensive' issues in the media, condemned the planned broadcast.

 

He said: 'Channel 4 is a public broadcaster and, under the Communications Act, it should not carry material-which would cause public offence. '[broadcasting watchdogs] cannot do anything until people complain after the programme is shown, so we are calling for Culture, Media and Sport Secretary Tessa Jowell to intervene.'

 

Scotland Yard said it was unlikely to intervene because obscenity laws 'were always a matter of interpretation'.

 

The W***athon is the brainchild of the San Francisco-based Centre for Sex and Culture, which holds similar events in the US to help safe-sex groups.

 

Prizes will be on offer for those who have the most orgasms and those who can masturbate the longest - the record is eight-and-a-half hours.

 

Faked orgasms are not allowed and competitors who break this rule three times can expect to be disqualified.

 

However, the invigilators, who will also be naked, have not said how they expect to spot 'fakers'.

It's for charity, silly. Try shouting encore encore

[N.O.R.F]

"At least its for charity" is a common saying by folks who organise such things. Anything to justify the absurd

 

The land of 'immoral morality' ey :rolleyes:

[Valenteenah.]

LoL. Ah, but it's the last line that kills me. Why do the invigilators need to be naked, and just how will they spot the 'fakers'? Sounds to me like another opportunity to brand women as deceiving. What do you think?

 

Shameful affair.

[NGONGE]

I think it's going to be messy. Those invigilators will have a hard time trying to stop contestants from looking over their shoulders and copying things from the naked person sat next to them. Heh.

[Socod_badne]

What a swell idea. Anyone know where I can get Channel 4 in N. America.

 

The potential for Simian sex studies (bonobos vs humans) is too mouth-watering to miss.

[Che -Guevara]

^^^^^^LoL, I think no one can match the stamina of the bonobos. Interestingly enough, there are the least violent chimpz. I wonder if the same holds true for these serial masturbators.

 

Dadkaan Imaanka ka tagay. I guess they tried and done everything they could have possible imagined. Now nothing excites them anymore.

[sheherazade]

Xayawaanaat.

Xayawaan armey ka daran yihiin.

 

Idaa lam tastaxyi fasnac maa shi'ta

[Ibtisam]

i can't decided which is worse; the naked bike riders i run into on my way home the other day (also some charity event :rolleyes: ) or reading this. crazy people. the sad truth is, hardly any money is raised for charity nor do they generate good publicity for the cause. :rolleyes: : :cool:

[Khayr]

This sounds like a publicity stunt of sorts...

 

An art exhibition-could be?

 

Wait a minute....this sounds like a public orgy/porn movie....

 

who is going to clean up that kind of mess, only spanish cleaners can handle that kinda muck. :rolleyes:

[Valenteenah.]

^ Those poor Spanish Cleaners. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. Wait, Spanish cleaners? In London, it would probably be more East-European/African cleaners. Oh those poor people! My heart goes out to them.

 

 

NG:

Those invigilators will have a hard time trying to stop contestants from looking over their shoulders and copying things from the naked person sat next to them.

Val, ma waxkaloo soo bandhigto ayaad weydey? :rolleyes:

 

Goodness! I honestly cannot wait in aan wadamadan ka tago. That Metro is one filthy paper, and unfortunately it happens to be the only free paper for commuters.

[Valenteenah.]

^^ If you were a commuter, you would know Metro isn't filthy (boring, yes, filthy, no). Channel 4 is the filthy one. :rolleyes:

Ah! This is what happens when you read a topic one day and comment the next day.. you get totally boggled by the source
