Russian Giant Pickle Stuffed Bear Orgy
THE headline – Russian Giant Pickle Stuffed Bear Orgy – suggests the following video is NSFW. As we says, it depends where you work.
If you work in a nunnery, it’s what you’re escaping from; if you work in the media, it’s a distraction; if you work in the music industry, it’s the kind of rubbish that features on YouTube and in countries where a pickle is a national symbol of excellence.
If you don’t work, you’ve probably seen it.
It all looks like an advert for an anti-SDT ointment.
Take them away:

Talking Dirty Makes You Impotent
GENNADY Cheurin of the Russian town of Yekaterinburg, research manager of the Center of Ecological Safety, says talking dirty leads to impotence.
Says he:
“Men were allowed to use these words only 16 days a year. Afterwards, it was strictly prohibited to use them. So whenever men use these sacred words for no reason in their daily life, this immediately leads to sexual dysfunctions, i.e. impotence. If a woman uses these words in her daily speech, she slowly begins transforming into a man.”

The London Bar That Sprays Drinkers With A Mist Of Alcohol
IN the Tlicho aboriginal community of Behchoko, Canada, locals have voted to ban alcohol from their community.
In a plebiscite held Wednesday, 256 voters supported the alcohol ban, while 237 voted against it. The plebiscite asked residents if “the consumption, possession, purchase sale and transport of liquor be prohibited” in the community, located about 95 kilometres north of Yellowknife.
In Canada no one can hear you scream. Bansturbation is rife.
Meanwhile in Endland, where everyone is screaming all the time. In the Alcoholic Architecture bar, London:
Adults are often reminded to drink
responsibly but customers entering a new cocktail bar where they are
literally enveloped in a mist of alcohol are warned to breathe
responsibly.
Just 40 minutes inside the venue – which
delivers an intoxicating vapour of gin and tonic – will leave you
feeling slightly merry.
Punters are also advised to don special
protective suits as they enter the walk-in cocktail to avoid going home
smelling like a brewery.To complement the whiff of G&T the bar is decorated with giant
limes and massive straws to make visitors feel as if they are inside
the drink.
The experience is further enhanced by a special soundtrack featuring the noise of liquid being poured over ice cubes.
Both venues are, of course, uttely horrible places, locals for those who crave boundaries and are unable to appreciate free will…

Hairdresser Keeps Armed Robber As Sex Slave
TO the Kaluga region of Russia, where a female hairdresser is accused of holding an armed robber in captivity as a sex slave for two days after he unsuccessfully tried to rob her beauty salon.
According to Life.ru… the robber, a 32-year-old man identified… as “Viktor,” burst into the salon at around 5 p.m. waving a pistol and ordered all of the stylists and clients to hit the floor and toss him their money.
At this point, 28-year-old Olga, whom Life.ru describes as a “delicate” girl trained in martial arts, was apparently still standing when she offered to hand over her cash. But when Viktor tried to accept her contribution, Olga surprised him with a quick punch to the chest, knocking the wind out of him before she flipped him to the ground.
Wash and blow?
Olga proceeded to tie Viktor up with a hair-dryer cord, gagged him and dragged him into a storage room. Olga instructed the others to keep working, telling them that the police would soon arrive…
The police did not come. And after the other stylists and clients went home for the evening, Olga told Viktor to “take off his underwear”…
She tied him to the radiator with handcuffs covered in frilly pink fabric, gave him some Viagra and had her way with him several times over the next 48 hours. When she finally let him go on the evening of March 16, Viktor had been “squeezed like a lemon”.
First, he went to the hospital to have his injured genitals treated; then he went to police and filed a complaint asking that Olga be brought up on criminal charges for committing “actions of a sexual nature” that left him with injured sexual organs…
Says Olga:
“What a jerk. Yeah, there were a few times. But I bought him new jeans, gave him food and drink, and gave him 1,000 rubles when he left.”
