“The stunt was unusual and macabre,” the Broadcasting Standards Authority conceded, but the footage shown on state-owned television’s “Havoc 2000 Deluxe” show fell just short of breaking broadcasting boundaries.

The organ ordeal was videotaped in its excruciating entirety and subsequently broadcast by Television New Zealand (TVNZ) reports Agence France-Presse. Audiences were warned repeatedly that the upcoming footage was “graphic and disgusting,” but the cock-crippling clip was actually edited so extensively that it was difficult to comprehend the magnitude of the genital torture.

For months, TVNZ has been under fierce attack from Prime Minister Helen Clark who has accused the network of being shamelessly ratings-driven.

Two viewers did complain, but the decency watchdog defended itself by asserting that the pecker-pulverizing act was within the periphery of its good taste because the network edited some of the most explicit aspects of the stunt.

How much wounding can a poor weenie endure? Hendry evidently heals quickly because he’s already contemplating a repeat performance of his sausage-slaughtering ritual.

The next annihilation will be slightly less severe: Hendry concedes that he’ll use fewer staples and have a bucket of water ready to put out the flames quickly.

The demonstration was co-sponsored and primarily attended by
the “National
Headquarters To Practice True Family Values,” a group
affiliated with the
Rev. Sun Myung Moon’s Unification Church. The “ target="new" href=
"http://www.purelove.org/">Pure Love Alliance,” a Moonie
splinter
group of students who promote and celebrate virginity, also
helped organize the anti-orgasmic gathering. The celibate
crowd of 500
commenced the event by raising their right hands to vow an oath
of chastity
until marriage, before parading downtown for five city blocks.
Leaflets
promoting their fingers-off philosophy were distributed by the
eager for abstinence marchers who waved puritanical placards
proclaiming, “Free Sex: No,” “One man, one wife” and
“Extramarital affair, you are a witch.”

The rally climaxed in a plaza with the prudish participants from
Korea, Japan, Europe, the United States and Latin America
dancing to folk music and waving balloons. Vehement virgins
interviewed by AP Worldstream expressed their enmity for
American movies, magazines and pop culture because of their
defiling influence on innocent souls. “In Korea, like other
countries in the East, a lot of Westernization
is going on promoting free sex,” lamented Bow
Jones, 21, of New York.

One of the 79 Bulgarians in attendance, Diana van
der Stok, 26, echoed the consensus complaint that young people
were overly interested in sex. “It can be very satisfying in the
beginning,” she conceded, “but then it can result in a serious
heartache.”

The Pure Love Alliance is planning its fourth international tour
to promote its “Pure Love Pledge” in the United States and
Europe. The not-too-exciting excursion will kick off in Chicago
on July 22 and meander off to both coasts, with a hot
continental rendezvous scheduled in our nation’s capital on
August 6. Naked World is brazenly hoping for a plane
ticket to cover the ecstatic event.

Lyadov insists that his operation isn’t a “bordello” and Olga, an interviewed stylist, concurred. She claims that the clients are not permitted to touch her. “The most they can do is flirt a little,” she says. Occasionally they do ask how her spouse feels about her job. “I always answer that my husband trusts me,” she said. Olga also asserts that men
“really don’t want to bother me” when she’s wielding sharp scissors and razors near their throat and eyes.

As part of his Russian sexual uprising, Lyadov plans to establish another nude salon in Tyumen, Siberia, open a nude-waitress restaurant and a naked-staffed cell phone sales office and publish a men’s lifestyle magazine.

He also operates a “swingers club” near the
Maksimych salon. The new revolution in Russia apparently owes more to Hugh Hefner than it does to Vladimir Lenin.

The production of Indonesian erotica climaxed in the 1970s and early 1980s, an era that ejaculated more than 100 steamy titles per annum. The bulging growth of the industry was eventually slapped down in 1984
by a government-sponsored anti-pornography campaign and again in 1988 by Islamic religious leaders who censored two frisky films, “Revenge of
the Southern Sea Queen” and “The Result of Being Flirtatious.”

In 1994, the Indonesian government tried to strap a chastity belt on the bawdy business again by condemning more than 40 films as pornographic, including “Stained
Bed,” “The Alluring Widow” and “The Pleasure of the Taboo.” But the official castigation failed to dry up the public’s panting interest. Horny hordes beat a path to the flesh films anyway and several enticing features had sold-out runs for two months.

Economic crises in 1997 finally wilted Indonesia’s porn production to today’s 27 tawdry titles annually.
Sexy starlets who strip and simulate shagging are also being carefully watched by authorities. Several have been
reprimanded in the past year by Jakarta police
for their provocative magazine poses.

Two Buddhist contingents got caught with their pants down recently: a teen-whoring Japanese duo and a horde of partying pagoda-dwellers in Cambodia.

Tokyo’s Mainichi Daily News reports that Eishu Sawada, a 30-year-old Buddhist teacher confined to a temple in Tokai, was arrested Jan. 13 with his acolyte, a 19-year-old university student.

The mentor and his pupil dialed a local “dating service” (were they bored crazy by meditation practice?) and hooked up with a pair of 16-year-old prostitutes for some enlightening orgasms at a cheap hotel. Sex-starved Sawada and his lascivious student were subsequently indicted for violating an Aichi state ordinance that forbids sex with anyone under 18.

In Phnom Penh, monks residing at the Kien Svay Krav pagoda were forced to flee their abode after incensed neighbors threatened to beat them up and torch their home, reports the South China Morning Post.

The enraged nearby residents accused a female pagoda member, Tham La, of owning a brothel. They also levied charges that some of the monks drink alcohol and have sacrilegious sexual intercourse on the pagoda grounds.

While the pagoda’s committee leaders maintain their innocence, the article suggests that many monks in Cambodia do not enjoy the respect and admiration displayed in other Buddhist countries because they are perceived to violate the religion’s teachings in their daily lives.
