arson and nerd laughs

One of my favourite cartoon sites, xkcd.com has recently sent me on a trip down memory lane. First, let’s look at the cartoon:

Save a life, get accused of murder

A man, awakened late at night by some major hubbub, woke up an jumped into the freezing water to save a woman from a sinking car.

Better suicides

Every month, a significant number of Afghan women choose to end their marriage and “hopefully” life through self-immolation. There is yet another way of interpreting this Al-Jazeera video..

Afghan women are so frustrated at the abuse suffered in the hands of their fathers or husbands that they choose to burn themselves rather than continue to live like that (self-immolation). This involves pouring petrol on top of their head and setting themselves on fire. This is a particularly painful way to die. The few who survive, are condemned to live a much shorter life in atrocious physical pain. Furthermore, in a failed state such as Afghanistan, it is unlikely that anybody can take care of them, so they most likely end up in the care of those whose “will to power” they were trying to escape.

While horrifying, the situation described by the Arab TV network Al-Jazeera seems to suggest a better way to die for would-be suiciders. Rather than burn yourself in a slow, painful death like Afghan women, one could choose the much more civilised Western way. It’s the way warrior westerners die – namely in long, drawn-out, vitality consuming, never-ending, Kafkaesque trials. Or the alternative reserved for Muslims: imprisonment at Gitmo, or CIA renditions to torturing states.

Geo Bogza si Mara

Incepusem sa-ti spun de Geo Bogza, Jurnal de Sex si intamplarile mele cu Maura. Aici le cam termin.

Bogza a studiat marinaria, asa ca nu-i de mirare ca scrie si despre marinari:

Efebul gherdap provoacă moartea batozei psihopate O antică batoză Puternic suferea De-o stranie psihoză Şi un cuvânt: saltea! Prin păr scăzut, cănit Purta cu fals topaz Un deget smălţuit Rupt din pudrat obraz. Rupt din cârpit ciorap Ban galben încropând Cu el ademenind Un crud efeb: gherdap. Acesta, cam escroc Nici mort nu se ducea Cu glas puţin baroc pocnind-o scurt: saltea! Ce vorbă prea ciudată La simpla-i pomenire Ea îşi ieşea din fire Mortal surescitată. Şi mare; această doză Punea o vânătaie În trupu-i de batoză Şi-n ochiul stâng, bătaie. În tidva rea, proiecte Cu răbufniri tardive Dorinţe maladive: Şi uneltiri infecte Efeb, frumos pândit Pe-o stradă mai opacă Violat, silit Pofta să-i satisfacă. Adânc surprins aflase Efebul, infamia Drept armă-şi anexase Saltea! apoplexia. Te-ai ars de acum batoză Vei suferi mereu O, biată echimoză Cuvântul groazni, greu. Foarte răzbunător El şi-l făcuse strună Ea delirând, nebună Şopti sfârşită: mor. Şi muri!... acea batoză Puternic suferind De-o stranie psihoză Şi de mârşavul jind.

Poemul marinarilor venerici şi al femeii depravate Clădit pe mlaştini, somnorosul port Visa la sud, puţin a mort Şi în el una, a tămâie Întinsă pe araci ca via Îşi făcea gravă meseria. Era una vestită şi până în fund Bolnavă, peste zăplaz cu gest rotund Chema prin seară acvatici răzleţi La rol primordial de călăreţi De fiecare dată cu un câştig cinstit Vindea o pulpă veche şi-un sex cam paradit. Vindea cântând, sirena, ca-n basm şi epopeie. Ca-n navigări vestite descrise-n odiseie: Veniţi la mine marinari La trupul meu cu tâţe tari Imaculate, ca de ceară La sexul meu de domnişoară Veniţi cu bani rotunzi de aur Să mă plătiţi ca pe-un tezaur La trupu-mi rudă cu natura De vreţi flămânzi să puneţi gura Ca-n navigări vestite descrise-n odiseie Vindea cântând, sirena, ca-n basm şi epopeie. Frumoasei invitaţii răspunde un matelot Marină lighioană, un tatuat pe bot Părea scăpat atunci din dubă Cu trupu-i ros de-o neagră bubă; Ea îl iubi corect, ca orice fată Scrâşnind din dinţi, ţipând odată. Altul cu trudă şi oftat de bou I-se deşeartă-n pântec ca un ou Stricat de multe aşteptări Când clătinat plutea pe mări Umplut cu germeni şi moloz Ca orice ou de brav matroz. Dintr-un gâtlej alcoolic şi-un vechi acordeon Cântau şi marinarii cu voci de bariton: Venim la tine depravată La trupu-ţi copt, păstrat în vată Tumefiat de mult abuz La sexu-ţi ca un cucuruz Venim flămânzi încăodată Primeşte-ne deci depravată Vrem pentru inima din noi Cu mult talent să te despoi Să te vedem goală la brâu Şi trupu-ţi ca un snop de grâu Când îl va roade un şobolan Sărind îl vrem, până-n tavan, Cântau şi marinarii cu voci de bariton Dintr-un gâtlej alcoolic şi-un vechi acordeon.

Revenind la aventurile mele mai mult sau mai putin apocrife, tin minte cum in acei salbatici ani ‘90 i-am spus femeii pe care o iubeam ca-i o chestie noua, sex anal, ce-ar fi s-o incercam? Ea mi-a raspuns calma ca “da, desigur, it’s very popular now”.

Raspunsul ei m-a daramat complet. Am incercat sa stau drept, mandru si impenetrabil, dar ceva se rupsese in mine in loc sa se rupa in ea. I-am spus asadar si nimfei, si ea mi-a raspuns la fel de surprinzator:

“Ce fiinta esti, am facut-o deja de cateva ori!”

Si iar am ramas masca.

De fapt, era cat se poate de posibil. Ajungeam la ea, faceam un dus impreuna, mainile mele incepeau sa-i galopeze pe trup, ea respira tot mai zgomotos, incepea sa-mi geama in ureche “te vreau”, eu ma faceam ca ploua – si chiar ploua, ca eram sub dus – ieseam apoi din baie, ea tragandu-ma de trompita. Eu imi puneam caciulita, ea dadea drumul la muzica si in faza de platou se punea in patru labe, eu incepand sa bag carbuni si sa intru, cu fiecare thrust, intr-o transa erotica. Nu stateam sa caut cu lumanarea intrarea, dar am remarcat de cateva ori ca ea se ajusta si raspundea busiturilor mele in mod diferit.

Dupa sex, cand ochii ei deveneau mai mari si mai umbrosi si era toata rosie si fierbinte aveam grija sa-i spun ca nu o iubesc si avem o relatie pur sexuala. Uneori plangea, dar cel putin stiam c-am facut ce-am putut sa nu..

Desi sexual ne intelegeam destul de bine, aveam in general un mod diferit de a privi lucrurile. Ei ii placeau manelele si muzica house, mie-mi placea rockul alternativ. Am dus-o intr-o zi la un concert U2, fusese sold out in cateva zile consecutive. I-a placut, mi-a spus “nici nu stiam ca ei canta toate cantecele astea”.

Timpul si distanta ne-au despartit in cele din urma si cand ne-am reintalnit dupa cativa ani, mi-a spus inainte de a se cobori in genunchi: “Am sa-ti dau placere”.

Romanian prostitute burned alive in Vienna

Disturbing news coming out of Vienna: A Romanian prostitute had a fight with her pimp and his "associate" and in turn they poured a flammable liquid on her and set her ablaze.

Here’s the story according to Austrian Times:

A Romanian prostitute is in critical condition after a punter tried to burn her alive outside a night spot on Laxenburger Straße in Vienna-Favoriten.

Police spokeswoman Manuela Vockner said today (Mon) that the assailant had been into a row with 35-year-old Florentina M. inside the locale in the early hours of yesterday morning.

When she left it he was outside waiting for her and doused her with a flammable liquid before setting her on fire.

Vockner said police had only a vague description of the assailant and media reports that he had fled in a silver BMW might be inaccurate.

She added that police had not obtained any leads about the man’s identity from people who had been in the night spot at the time of the assault.

Vockner said the woman, who had burns on her face and upper body, was in critical condition in a Vienna hospital.

Hotnews.ro adds that the incident took place at the Romanians’ disco, around 3 am, and the woman had said before losing consciousness: It was Cretu. I trust she is not referring to Michael Cretu, a reputable music producer who married his star, Sandra.

What is interesting about prostitution in Austria is that under Maria Theresa, they were sent to Banat, a Romania province. Today Romania is the largest provider of prostitutes to Western Europe. In 1873 the law was reformed and prostitutes were obligated to register with the police and receive medical exams twice a week.

A newspaper article of October 27, 1874 reported that 6,424 prostitutes had received health certificates and were under observation by police and health authorities. According to police estimates, at least 12,000 more women lived on the proceeds of "free love" without being registered. Most of these were factory workers who received so little pay that they needed the additional income. Of the registered prostitutes, 5,312 were unmarried, 902 widows, and 210 married. The youngest was 15 and the oldest 47 years old.

In April 2007 1,352 female and 21 male prostitutes where officially registered in Vienna. In 2003, the oldest prostitute was a 71 year old Austrian woman, who offered her service in the second district of Vienna, the so called Leopoldstadt. The number of women working legally and illegally at least from time to time as prostitutes is estimated between 3,500 and 6,000; it is estimated that they totally serve 15,000 clients per day. A similar relation of prostitutes to population number can also be found in other Austrian cities. For example, in 2008 there were 120 registered prostitutes in Linz, which has approximately 10% of the size of Vienna.

What about Brüno Gehard?

Homosexual male prostitution (§ 210 Strafgesetzbuch) was legalized in 1989. A major reason for legalization was to reduce the spread of HIV through regular medical examinations.

Currently, there are no red light districts – prostitution is spread out and practiced mostly by Easterners.

Nowadays 60 to 90 percent are migrants, mainly from the former east bloc countries, among them many commuters from the close Slovakia. For example, the police detained several nurses from Bratislava who earned more money in one night on the streets of Vienna than in a whole month in the hospital in Bratislava.

A quarter of the arrested unregistered prostitutes had multiple infections with sexually transmitted diseases. On the other hand, according to the health authorities of Vienna, registered prostitutes are the most healthy group of persons.

Austria is a both a transit and a destination country for women and children trafficked from Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Moldova, Belarus, Ukraine, Slovakia, Nigeria, and sub-Saharan Africa for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation.

Most trafficked women are brought to Austria with promises of unskilled jobs, such as nannies or waitresses. Upon arrival they are often coerced into prostitution.

The moral of the story? It’s good to have at least two professions, in case one of them doesn't pan out..

I am now waiting for RNS’s cybergraffiti to explain in Romanian that prostitutes are not Romanian on some Austrian website..

sexting

I recently had an SMS conversation about sex with someone and I thought I'd better post it here, for the world to see. OK, not the whole world, but rather the 3-4 people who read this blog.
