They gyrate around poles, grind against men’s laps, and gaze provocatively at the camera, their soaked breasts spilling out of tiny bikinis. But the stars of this sexually explicit advert are not women, they are animals; and the product they promote is not a raunchy men’s magazine, but the children’s drink Orangina.

The Naturally Juicy advert, which features scantily dressed anthropomorphised gazelles, giraffes and flamingos, has generated a wave of criticism since it hit British TV screens earlier this month, with viewers, children’s charities and equal rights groups up in arms over its sexual – and, some believe, sexist – content.

Shots of Orangina bottles exploding between the thighs of zebras and squirting on to the breasts of other animals were said to have proved particularly offensive.

You can see the ad beyond the break…

A modern art sculpture portraying a crucified green frog holding a beer mug and an egg that Pope Benedict has condemned as blasphemous may have its days numbered.

The board of the Museion museum in the northern city of Bolzano were meeting on Thursday to choose whether to side with the pope and other opponents of the frog or with proponents who say it should be defended as a work of art.

The wooden sculpture by the late German artist Martin Kippenberger depicts a frog about 1 metre 30 cm (4 feet) high nailed to brown cross and holding a beer mug in one outstretched hand and an egg in another.

The latest attraction in Reutlingen is about 300 years old. But now it has a title: a superlative of south-western German modesty - the world’s narrowest street.

It’s actually just a passageway, an exit from a rear courtyard. In the eighteenth century, this district was completely destroyed in a huge fire. To ensure that, in future, fires couldn’t spread so easily from house to house, a narrow space was left between them. Measuring in at 31 centimetres or one foot wide, it’s the undisputed world champion of narrow streets.

This week we offer up a special Labor Day edition of the mug shot roundup with a few notes: 1) The dozen men on page #2 are exactly the hard working types this three-day holiday weekend is meant to honor; 2) The woman on page #5 is currently a Maryland beauty pageant winner holding the title of Miss Washington County. She ran on an anti-bullying platform and was arrested for allegedly assaulting her ex-boyfriend’s new girlfriend; 3) It’s not yet labor day for the woman on page #9, but we’re proud to present baby’s first mug shot

Mad Max, Road Warrior and other horror elements mashed together into a great road movie like stoner metal music video. What can be better on a Friday night than a hallucinatory head trip???

Traffic police want to publicly shame jaywalkers and cyclists who violate traffic rules by displaying photographs and videos of their offences in newspapers and on TV.

The images of jaywalkers, moped riders and cyclists will be collected from selected downtown road crossings.

But the radical scheme has come under fire from lawyers who claimed public humiliation was too heavy a punishment for jaywalking and warned of defamation lawsuits against police.

Police plan to start regular columns in newspapers and launch television programs to promote the program.

Despite the worries about Steve looking a bit slim and fears for his health, Steve Jobs is not dead. Even though The Bloomberg financial newswire mistakenly posted a lavish 17-page obituary.

It’s common practice to file obituaries of famous people for instant use - Bloomberg decided to update its Steve Jobs obituary … then inadvertently published it.

Steve Jobs, who won a battle with pancreatic cancer a few years ago, told graduates at a commencement speech at Stanford University in 2005 “Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Your time is limited so don’t waste it. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.”

Kelly Osbourne was spotted walking around London with a black eye and a laceration on the side of her head. Her reps say this wasn’t caused by an assault or over eagerness at finding that last piece of casserole in the back of the fridge.

What do you like best about Dr. House?

Of course this is a great view. Too bad you don’t see it on the road more often. Don’t worry, you’ll get a nice piece of hot asses on bikes beyond the break….

I knew that before mobile phones Nokia produced all manner of things including car tyres but this is the first time that I’ve actually seen one.

It was one of two spare tyres on a Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire 360. The car was introduced in late 1951 and was sold until 1958.

Let me tell you that nature is actually pretty cool

Audi has just announced that it will build a 500-plus horsepower version of the R8 sportscar for competition use. Sadly, that does mean it will not be street legal, but it does open the possibility that a street legal version is in the pipes.

The R8 GT3 conforms to GT3 regulations and will therefore be able to race in numerous international race series, including the American Le Mans Series.

Well, anything better than the Audi A9

The American reality show star Kristin Cavallari has appeared in two seasons of the MTV series Laguna Beach. During one season Kristin was involved in a love triangle which became one of the series’ central plotlines.

Who’d have thunk it but Lindsay Lohan is actually kinda pissed that her dad Michael went off on her girlfriend Samantha Ronson yesterday. And she’s hit back . . . MYSPACE STYLE!

One thing is for sure, Emily Marilyn is one crazy girl and very not safe for work.

Congratz to the King of Pop from the guys from Attuworld

The Venice Film Festival opened Wednesday night with the premiere of the Coen brothers’ dark comedy “Burn After Reading,” giving a flash of Hollywood glamour to a festival lineup with a definite art house feel.

The 21 films competing for the coveted Golden Lion at the festival, which runs through Sept. 6, will provide a snapshot of world cinema, with entries from Ethiopia, Turkey, Algeria and a Brazilian-Chinese production.

While the lineup gives the impression of being light on celebrity-driven Hollywood fare — due both to the impact of last year’s writers’ strike and a late selection process for Cannes’ springtime festival — festival director Marco Mueller said U.S. films are well represented.

It’s a sad week for ’90s porn: O.G. Vivid girl Janine Lindemulder has pleaded guilty to failure to pay taxes, and faces up to $100,000 fine and a year in the bing.

Our new slogan is obvious. But Janine wouldn’t be the first adult actress to find herself behind bars—take a walk down mammary lane with us, won’t you?

The Jim Henson-created characters may be on their way back thanks to a new Disney Film.

In the movie, written by Forgetting Sarah Marshall star and writer Jason Segel, the Muppets reunite to save their studio with one last variety show.

Should the film go well, it opens up the possibility of a television programme, also written by 28-year-old Segel.

A source said: “Jason is a massive Muppets fan and is seen as the man to finally bring The Muppet Show back to TV.

I am sure I am not the only person who has masturbated to Madonna in their lifetime. Whether it was the movie Truth or Dare or her Sex book, she was always a driving force in being a naughty little girl. Unfortunately, like all naught little girls, they grow up and now she’s 50, on tour and trying to hold onto the fact that we all jerked off to her at one point in our lives, without realizing that her vagina has expired. She is pretty fit for an old lady but still an old lady and I, along with the front row at her concert are happy her underwear bottoms and fishnet outfit she’s wearing are tight enough to keep her shit in place.

I have been waiting for this moment for years. I am comfortably sitting on the barge. Under my fins, which are already in the water, the sea is 400 meters deep. The waters of Valinco are calm. This is unexpected! So often, we had to abandon this dive because of the wind!

At my feet, a large blue buoy is attached to a 350 meters long cord and carrying a 50kg ballast that plunges towards the abyss…. and which awaits me.

It is a pity that there is this feeling in my stomach, which does not disappear despite all the relaxation, quiet breathing and especially the good conditions. The team is busy around me.

So this might not be such a big deal to some of you but last night I went to Tattoo Mania on Sunset and got tatted! The artist’s name was Dirk and he was awesome!

I have been wanting to get another tattoo for a minute now and I have been thinking long and hard about what I wanted. I was going through some of my old things the other day and I found a letter my daddy wrote me. On the card in his hand writing were the words “I love you!”. I knew that is what I wanted on my wrist. So I had his writing photo copied and I got my wrist inked. I don’t know if you can see it but a few months ago I got my initials tatted in white ink. I did that with the intentions that no one would really see it. So faintly underneath the “I love you” you can see my KK in white

A man who chose “Lloyds is pants” as his telephone banking password said he found it had been changed by a member of staff to “no it’s not”.

Steve Jetley, from Shrewsbury, said he chose the password after falling out with Lloyds TSB over insurance that came free with an account.

He said he was then banned from changing it back or to another password of “Barclays is better”.

The bank apologised and said the staff member no longer worked there.
