Now animal rights group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), have come up with a new way to get some attention – their own “porn” site.

Having embraced their share of risque advertising in the past PETA will use imminent changes to internet domain names to register themselves to operate the www.peta.xxx website.

“We are preparing to launch our own peta.xxx site, but instead of just showing people our iconic ads we then show them how animals suffer for entertainment,” said spokeswoman Ashley Byrne.

“Our racier actions are sometimes a way to get people to sit up and pay attention to the plight of animals.”Internet surfers who “accidentally” delve into the x-rated site will initially be presented with the animal rights groups too hot for TV ads and campaigns.

But PETA’s sexy side displayed in galleries and videos will quickly give way to the sinister world of animal mistreatment uncovered by the group’s hidden camera investigations in a very different kind of graphic content.

“It’s the kind of thing you often won’t see on TV for instance, because the under cover footage is so graphic and violent that it’s pretty tough to show,” Ms Byrne said.

Cirque Du Soleil has been mesmerising audiences young and old all around the world and as a long time fan, I was keen to check out one of their seven permanent shows in Las Vegas. I knew I wasn’t likely to be disappointed by any of them but given one should walk on the wicked side while in Vegas, I chose Zumanity, Cirque Du Soleil’s only adult-oriented show (showing at New York – New York Hotel & Casino).

Zumanity, described as “the Sensual Side of Cirque du Soleil,” combines the usual amazing range of acrobatics with seduction, and a good pinch of adults-only fun. It opened in 2003 but as any fan of Cirque Du Soleil would attest, their shows are timeless and the dynamic energy of the troupe keeps them fresh and exciting. Zumanity is certainly no exception and especially given its naughty theme, it’s probably never going to date unlike some Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals.

As you take your seat, you become familiar with the Cirque Du Soleil stage layout; a huge performance area with seats all around, affording everyone a very good view of the action. There are comedic actors keeping the earlybird audience amused with their antics as per other Cirque shows, but instead of clowns you get Dick and Izzy, the in-show sex therapists. This over-the-top duo are quite liberal with brandishing sex toys, much to the embarrassment of some audience members who probably didn’t think Cirque Du Soleil could get so bawdy.

Once the actual show begins, you are introduced to hostess Edie, Mistress of Seduction who is a tour-de-force drag show all on her own. She promises a night of open-minded and sensual entertainment and I can attest that you are not disappointed. Stunning African dancing gets your pulses racing before leading you into the first acrobatic act; two very flexible nude ladies in a huge glass bowl of water. It was a very visually captivating performance.

I’d rather not be a spoiler and give a blow-by-blow account of the entire show but you can certainly expect a lot of mid-air acrobatics, silk rope work, and a very healthy amount of nudity. The performers aren’t shy about stripping down but given how amazing their bodies are they certainly don’t need to be. Ladies will be happy to know that there is an act involving the resident beefcake to get them hot and bothered.

Towards the end of the show there is an act called ‘Gentle Orgy’ where all the performers of Zumanity come out to simulate a bit of group loving on a rotating platform, which is an absolutely gorgeous feast for the eyes and senses. You start feeling like a bit of a voyeur but before you get too fixated, Mistress Edie breaks the trance with some audience participation fun.

Zumanity is best described as part cabaret and part burlesque with a whole lot of sexy giggles in between. It’s also an exploration of human sexuality/sensuality in its many forms and you’re left with a feeling of being uninhibited. Zumanity is definitely a hot show to enjoy with your partner in deviousness so if you find yourself in Vegas one day, do check it out.

The unnamed 27-year-old woman had disrobed near a hiking trail and thrown her clothes over the cliff before trying to climb down to Black’s Beach, a popular clothing-optional location near San Diego, on Tuesday afternoon, the Daily Mail reports.

But the woman found herself stranded on a ledge on the way down, unable to climb up or down.

After 15 minutes the woman was noticed by a passerby, who contacted emergency services.

A female lifeguard managed to abseil down to rescue the woman, strapping her into a harness before providing her with some borrowed clothing.

The woman was unharmed aside from scraped knees.

She was cited by park rangers for entering a restricted part of the state park but will not be charged for the rescue.

The six officers from the special emergency response team, were travelling back from a buck’s party in suburban Brisbane in September last year when they stopped at an intersection about 4.15am (AEST).

Five of them were seen running naked around their police mini bus at the intersection of Redland Bay and Moreton Bay roads at Capalaba.

The sixth officer was the driver.

A Queensland police statement on Wednesday said the six officers had received internal sanctions and had 14 days to appeal.

Deputy Commissioner Ian Stewart delivered his decision late on Tuesday to legal representatives of the officers.

“These officers will now return to operational duties,” the statement said.

“A decision on whether they are suitable to return to the special emergency response team is expected in the coming weeks.”

The statement said the disciplinary decision had been delayed until all related court matters had been finalised.

Four of the officers were each fined $300 for the stunt in the Cleveland Magistrates Court in March, after pleading guilty.

The deputy commissioner will hold a press conference on the matter at midday on Wednesday.

So when a motorist called police after seeing the 40-year-old cycling naked one afternoon on Akatarawa Rd near Upper Hutt, he was shocked.

Lowe was convicted of offensive behaviour and slapped with a $200 fine, which he refused to pay. Yesterday he took his case to the High Court in Wellington in a bid to overturn his conviction.

“I couldn’t believe it, it just wasn’t right,” Lowe told The Dominion Post. “It’s a lifestyle thing – to put clothes on is uncomfortable. It’s not about exhibitionism, I’m just uncomfortable in clothes.” His lawyer, Michael Bott, argued that riding naked on a rural road was not offensive, and Kiwis had become more tolerant toward nudity.

He pointed to events such as Boobs on Bikes, the Hero Parade, National Nude Day, Naked Wedding Day and a recent naked cycle on the Central Otago Rail Trail as proof that “we’re not as puritan as we used to be”.

Justice Denis Clifford reserved his decision. At one point he apologised after chuckling at a photograph of naked people in Christchurch’s Cathedral Square.

Lowe, a builder from Johnsonville, describes himself as a “natural athlete”. He completed last year’s Coast to Coast naked from the waist down, and regularly trains in the buff.

He competed in last weekend’s Coast to Coast but wore clothes to improve his time. He can run naked for about two hours before it gets too uncomfortable, but he uses “a lot more anti-chap cream than most”.

“I walk around the house naked, I mow the lawns naked, I’ll do the garden naked. A lot of smelly, sweaty clothes, why do that when you don’t need to?”

He said nobody else had ever complained about his naked ventures, and that his ride on Akatarawa Rd last year coincided with World Nude Bike Day.

Mr Bott said Boobs on Bikes featured bare-breasted woman in G-strings riding down Auckland’s main street, and was not deemed offensive behaviour.

But Crown prosecutor Michael Snape said the public was warned about that high-profile event and they did not have to see the nudity if they did not want to.

Lowe said he had no plans to curb his naked ambition. “It would be nice to know that on a stinking hot day, I could just go out and walk naked to Oriental Bay and go for a swim.”

The embarrassing gaffe for the “millionaires factory” happened while Macquarie analyst Martin Lakos was being interviewed during a live cross with Seven News presenter Chris Bath yesterday afternoon.

As Mr Lakos discussed the Reserve Bank’s decision not to raise interest rates, his colleague was seen in the background studying three images from what appeared to be Miranda Kerr’s photo shoot for GQ magazine.

And if Seven’s audience was wondering what this banker looked like, he helpfully swivelled around in his chair and stared down the camera just as Mr Lakos threw back to the studio.

A Seven spokesman reportedly confirmed the station received complaints from viewers.

“We have expressed our concern to Macquarie,” the spokesman was quoted by the Daily Telegraph as saying.

The bank released a statement yesterday saying it was dealing with the matter internally.

“Macquarie has strict policies in place surrounding the use of technology,” the statement said.

Mr Gough, 50, was found guilty of breaching the peace after being arrested seconds after leaving Perth Prison in Scotland naked last month, having just finished a 12 month sentence for the same offense.

The former Royal Marine, who is famed for his naked hikes, has spent most of the past seven years behind bars for repeatedly appearing nude in public.

Mr Gough, who conducted his defense naked at Perth court Tuesday, turned down an offer to walk free if he got dressed.

Remanding him in custody, judge Lindsay Foulis warned: “When the day comes for you to be released, you will be apprehended and the same process gone through again.”

Mr Gough from Hampshire, South England, said he accepted he could potentially remain in jail forever.
