A hard choice on Super Tuesday (04/02/08)

As citizens of a country founded on the slogan “No taxation without representation”, Americans living overseas get to pay taxes without any dedicated representation in Congress. But they do get to vote in primaries. The Democrats make it easier than the Republicans , even providing helpful on-the-spot voting sites in pubs in Dublin and donut [...]

Big pharma does smack (28/01/08)

Cum cum, it’s art (20/01/08)

Europe is baring all this winter, with major exhibitions of erotica in both London and Paris. But London has a side show more explicit than anything the French dare to show. Artist Jordan McKenzie masturbates over paper. Having seeded his artwork, he fertilises it with carbon powder, creating dashing artworks. These great works have inspired [...]

When you need to know who Daddy is (13/01/08)

Art, science and the glories of Web 2.0 marketing come together in this wonderful Notes for Nerds video from diagnostics firm BioRad. The lyrics are posted here.

Keep the Democrats Coming (09/01/08)

Democrats in Indonesia have organised to produce what every presidential candidate needs: handy condoms in packaging hardy enough to withstand the ardours of the campaign trail. Studded condoms, to boot, supplied by the ever-popular Fiesta brand. Studs and parties, then. Not entirely inappropriate.

Say no to drunks (07/01/08)

Wandering around the villages of East Java on the last day of 2007, I came across a bunch of kids preparing for their New Year’s Eve festivities. No champagne for me, then…

Is that a silicone implant, or are you just glad to see me? (24/12/07)

With this “Tits for Tat” image, plagerised from Andrew Sullivan’s always muscular blog, I sign off for two weeks wandering in Central Java, in search of Wisdom. Regular posting resumes in January.

Whose knickers would you rather be in? (19/12/07)

Becks appears to prefer Giorgio Armani’s. And when you consider the alternatives…

Smooth positioning (18/12/07)

Since I’m on my way to Indonesia, I offer this great poster promoting Sutra condoms. “Sutera” means silk in Indonesia, but the temptation to draw parallels with India’s erotic classic was irresistible. Hence the Kama Sutra campaign. This particular poster only appeared in and around “entertainment” districts across the world’s most populous Moslem-majority nation.

Artistic, offensive, or just plain silly? (16/12/07)

This from a Norwich art gallery:

Country music says it all (15/12/07)

Feeling bereft of corporate bonhomie, I went last night to someone else’s Office Party. Star of the show was US Presidential candidate Tina C who thinks it’s time for trailer trash in the White House. (Again…?) Tina (aka Chris Green, but not that Chris Green) proves once and for all that no amount of sexuality [...]

The weather’s looking up… (14/12/07)

Dangers of sex 1: The domino effect (11/12/07)

Thanks to Basia Zaba for contributing this very good reason to cross your legs.  

Another reason never to leave home without your condoms (10/12/07)

Cupcakes and Condoms (01/12/07)

For many years, Thailand’s condom king, Mechai Viravaidya, has cornered the culinary condom market with his restaurant “Cabbages and Condoms”, a Bangkok institution. But I see that others believe we should put out condoms where out mouths are…

Talking of penises (01/12/07)

While I was at the gender meeting in Nairobi mentioned in the article, some friends and I played “Bullshit Bingo” a game that passes the time in jargon-filled UN meetings. Here is my (not quite completed) bingo card. I wrote my own destruction into the bottom right hand corner. In a three day meeting about [...]

Wearing your safe-sex on your sleeve (30/11/07)

Of course some people do a lot more with old condoms than just make hairbands. Brazilian artist Adriana Bertini makes ball gowns, suits and party frocks out of condoms that are rejected during quality control procedures. If they were available for sale in the EU, they’d no doubt have a health and safety warning reminding [...]
