The soldiers were unable to do anything, however, as they couldn't communicate with the woman.

According to its president, the National Breast Cancer Coalition has "revolutionized" public policy in the quest to eradicate breast cancer. But NBCC has an odd way of running its revolution. On May 4, NBCC announced the Golden Boob Awards, to "highlight the biggest boobs of all – the organizations that are using breast cancer purely as a way to make money or to promote an ideology." "Biggest boobs"? That NBCC would so crassly refer to a body part carrying such deep sexual and maternal significance to those mourning or fearing its loss is shameful – the equivalent to announcing...

Bay County sheriff's deputies made their first lewd and lascivious arrests of spring break. It started with a wet t-shirt contest that took place Tuesday night at Hammerhead Fred's bar on Thomas Drive.

The new Hooters restaurant may have gotten an unwelcome reception from some of the community's religious leaders, but tonight it will get a little help from above. As part of a private opening party, Monsignor Isidore Rozycki, the head Catholic priest for the Greater Waco area, plans to bless the chain's newest location at New Road and Interstate 35. The public won't be able to attend the event. But they can bask in the divine dedication starting Tuesday morning, when the restaurant officially opens. “Blessings are part of the Catholic tradition,” said Rozycki, who is pastor of St. Martin's Church...

DAYTONA BEACH -- Adult dancers may be clear to take it all off after a federal judge Friday struck down the city's anti-nudity laws. City ordinances prohibiting public nudity and nudity in places that sell alcohol violate the First and 14th amendments to the U.S. Constitution, U.S. District Judge John Antoon concluded in his ruling. "We won on every single issue," said Daniel Aaronson, a Fort Lauderdale attorney representing Lollipops Gentleman's Club on Grandview Avenue. The victory entitles Aaronson to press for the city to pay attorney fees for Lollipops, which he said exceed $100,000. Daytona Beach failed to prove...

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Take a few leggy California blondes, throw in a passion for luxury cars, plenty of parties, and a distaste for parking your own car. What have you got? A multimillion-dollar, female valet parking business, where struggling models and actresses dressed in bikinis, miniskirts or lingerie and Santa hats park the cars of the rich and famous in the Los Angeles area. Beverly Hills, California-based Girls Valet Parking opened for business less than six months ago. This week, it took over its rival, Valet Girls, and announced plans to expand to San Francisco, Las Vegas, San Diego...

He said the incident had dealt a blow to the country’s image and pledged a thorough investigation into the issue.

NEW YORK (AP) - It was one of those "only in New York" moments: Two coffins, laid out in the middle of Times Square in a cold rain, with the naked bodies of a man and a woman in them - talking. Their message was: Some clothes sold in America are made with fur that comes from animals allegedly tortured in China. "Animals are skinned alive in China, because it's cheaper than to kill them humanely," said Ingrid Newkirk, president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, opening her eyes as she shivered in a black cardboard coffin, with...

The scholar who exposed fraud and exploitation in the work of sex researcher Alfred Kinsey is blowing the whistle on the E! cable channel's new "reality" show about Playboy founder Hugh Hefner and his three live-in girlfriends. Judith Reisman, author of "Kinsey: Crime and Consequences" and a soon-to-be-released new title, "Kinsey's Attic: How One Man's Pathology Changed the World," says "Girls Next Door" is Hollywood's latest and boldest attempt to normalize pornography in our culture. The author, who served as a consultant to the U.S. Justice Department on obscenity issues, is angry the network is investing so much time in...

A leading lingerie company has joined Japan's fight against high fuel use, unveiling a heated bra for winter.

Being padded, the new bra packs a little more bulk than most regular designs, but the Japanese arm of Triumph...

Here's what I've liked so far about this season of "America's Next Top Model." It isn't the woo-woo topless photo shoot that our burbling praying mantises enjoyed a few weeks ago and which -- despite the candy stripes on their bikini bottoms -- managed to be the least sexy thing anybody had ever seen. It isn't the self-impressed, vaguely Euro way that show producers refer to the season as "Cycle Five" and the mansion as the "House of Top Model." It isn't even the volcanic lesbian sex triangle between Kim, her invisible girlfriend and that bewildered, porpoise-footed model with the...
