U.N. 'Dismayed' at Penthouse Interview
NewsMax ^ | 3/18/02 | Limbacher

United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan says he was "surprised and dismayed" that an interview he gave an Arab magazine wound up in Penthouse magazine.

Appearing in the porn magazine alongside the interview on terrorism and the Middle East: articles on sex and March's Penthouse Pet centerfold, the Associated Press reported today.

Penthouse ran the Q&A after it appeared in the London magazine al-Wasat. Reporter Russell Warren Howe said he had "full legal rights to sell this interview to anyone and everyone." And boy did he mean anyone.

"Needless to say, we will no longer have any dealings with this journalist," sputtered U.N. flack Fred Eckhard.

He's surrounded by boobs and assholes all the time at the UN. Why should being in Penthouse offend him? So does he talk about him turn ons/turn offs? No, seriously, it's an OK interview, but not as good as his pictorial with Jenna Jameson.

Oh, I forgot to mention that Kofi is probably dismayed because he didn't get paid for this.

And this from the same crowd that applauds all the "choices" women have re their bodies. No need to sprout morals now.

I think "Hustler" would have been more appropriate.

I'd like to know what he said to the Arabs that he didn't want the gun-tottin', crotch-grabbin' red-blooded 'Mercans that read Penthouse to find out about.

In the interview, does he mention "bitch-slapping" (reasoning with) his "'Ho" (Israel)?

Kofi What's-His-Name finally has a proper vehicle for his ideas: a magazine which appeals to men with the emotional maturity and intellectual insight of dirty-minded fourteen year olds.

Did the interview start out:

I can't believe this happened to me. There we were, alone after an all day session on human rights, she was wearing nothing but a burka when.........

Most of what Kofi says borders on the 'pornographic', in a sense, anyway.
