Hundreds of Australian Women to Take Part in Naked Rain Dance

(Sydney) -- Mired in a drought, some Australians are taking matters into their own hands in dealing with the situation. Hundreds of women from southern Australia will try to bring about precipitation by performing a naked rain dance in the outback in early March.

Organizer Lynne Healy said all the families in and around the Mallee region are invited to the festivities, which will feature food and entertainment. She said the women will discreetly board buses and go to a secret location to perform the rain dance in the buff. While families will be invited to the event, the media will not.

Kinda gives a new meaning to Waltzing Matilda...

You know the rules...

Give it a couple of weeks. Snoop Dogg will be selling the video for $9.95 on all the cable channels.

It hasn't taken place yet so no pics...BUT I'm sure some enterprising Aussie will sneak a few onto the net ASAP.

Shouldn't we FReep this event?

Why doesn't this stuff happen in my neighborhood?

One can only hope that The Matildas - Australia's women soccer team will join the festivities (especially Miss June, Amy Taylor! :>).

Be careful what you ask for. I lived in Greece for a year in a farm town in Thessaly (Tyrnavos). Every year they hold a male-oriented fertility (i.e. penis) festival; it's some kind of holdover from pre-Christian times. They have floats with 10 foot long hydraulic penises which bob up and down. As you enter the town there is a plaster bull with a massive hard-on. Phallic symbols are everywhere. The bakeries sell penis shaped cakes and breads, etc. etc. This isn't San Francisco, this is conservative, Greek Orthodox Greece. Everyone celebrates: Men, women, girls, boys. No-one is embarrassed. I don't think it would go over too well in middle America.

Wow! Colorado is in an extended drought too. We should consider doing this.

Of course, this seems like a pagan ritual. And as such, it would be handled by the People's Republic of Boulder. And the women in Boulder, well...

Never mind. It would never rain again.

They resort to occult practises instead of the Living God. I'm not for them having a drought, but to tweak God's beard is a dangerous thing. Still perhaps God will take pity for the sake of the pious in Australia who are PRAYING for rain as well.

Headline:

99.9999% of Australian women will not be as stupid and pagan as a bunch of Mallee aboriginal-wannabees who prance around for rain...

Its probably a just dreamt up part of an indigenous welfare qualification...or a tourism stunt.

[Nothing to see here. Move along now...]

[prisoner6]

Wow! I may move down under! Gotta get that calander!

LOL! These little pagan holdovers pop up in the oddest places. I was in a village in Spain once a few years ago and some local feast was being held - which seemed to involve the production of large quantities of penis-shaped breads. No hydraulics, though.

[AFPhys]

Well, I have to admit that this is a tasty tastefully done calander. Perhaps one of them has a career in broadcasting ahead of them at least, since they appear to have no problem with being seen in a public forum.

[flying Elvis]

I am deeply offended by threads such as these with their lurid headlines, talk of nude loose women and no pictures!!! Not fair prisoner6, not nice at all! ;)

Well, it is said that as in the days of Noah, so will it be on the earth in the time of the end. Somehow I don't think rain clouds really give a rip who is dancing with what on.

Here we are in the 21st century at the peak of man's reach for the stars dancing naked with penis bread.

Perhaps they should hope it does not start to rain...

What might happen is what happened to Haiti when she turned to Satan and Devil worship to rid themselves of Great Britain. Great Britain was gotten rid of all right. But those who I've spoken to who know the people and its history state that since that time from the 1790's...there is all ways too little or too much rain which either shrivels the crops or floods them out. The governments have always been corrupt, the people impoverished and living in superstitious fear of voodo and black magic.
(and they come here in boatloads trying to get away from the oppression and hunger). The dancers may get rain all right...more so than the land can handle...or so little that a cactus would shrivel. They should be careful of what they wish for!
