Bali is known for its warm clement, expensive resorts,
and white sandy beaches. But in resent years Bali is also getting
a reputation for it’s beach gigolos, who scout for foreign
female tourists who want to have a good time.
In fact a documentary trailer was released just
last week detailing the beach boys who participate in what has
become to be known sex tourism. But just one day after the trailer
was released Indonesian police cracked down on the beach surfers
who participate in this business.
The documentary on Bali’s “Kuta Cowboys”
is about muscular and tanned Kuta beach surfers who develop short-term
romantic relationships with foreign women in return for gifts.
The documentary follows the trials and tribulations of several
beach boys, their families, and their female patrons. The documentary
is called “Cowboys in Paradise”
However the director did not anticipate on the police
crack down. 28 people were detained just this week.
The documentary's Singapore-based director, Amit
Virmani, said he found the arrests deplorable.
"A witch hunt for men with tanned and muscular bodies on
the beach is the last thing anybody wants," he said.
Wijaya said the raids were part of routine checks and not linked
to the documentary, but local media reported that security officials
were targeting tanned and muscular men.
"As has been reported, gigolos have indeed been rounded up,"
Putu Suardika, a spokesman for the governor of Bali, said in a
telephone text message to Reuters.
.Virmani said he believed the beach gigolo phenomena was not unique
to Bali, which is also known for its Hindu temples, volcanoes,
and terraced rice fields.
Ok here is a story about a strange and unusual
public bathroom located in Huston Texas. In the picture posted
above you can see a lady getting ready to walk into what looks
like a glass mirrored building. But it is not. It is a public
bathroom. The picture below is a view from the inside of the bath
room.
Looking at this public bathroom from the inside shows that it
is made entirely out of one way glass. No one can see you from
the out side but when you are inside it is like sitting in a clear
glass box.
Could you? Would you use this public restroom?
I don’t know about you but it would be a little difficult
to focus on what you are doing. How ever if you got to go, you’ve
got a place to do your business. As long as it works.
BERLIN (Reuters) – German police
are investigating a man for theft after he siphoned electricity
off a high-voltage overhead transmission line for one month with
the help of an ordinary meat hook, authorities said on Tuesday.
The 36-year old man from Sibbesse in Lower Saxony concocted the
plan to steal electricity after the power company cut him off
for failure to pay his bills, police said.
The man attached a cable to the meat hook and tossed it onto
an overhead power line. He then drew power from the transmission
line to his home, located about 150 meters away.
"I've never seen anything like this in my 34-year-career,"
said Friedrich-Wilhelm Lach, chief executive of regional utility
Ueberlandwerke Leinetal GmbH, told Reuters. "It's incredibly
dangerous and utterly stupid."
An employee of the utility noticed the meat hook during a routine
check. Lach said the man was lucky he is still alive and warned
copycats not to try it: "It will kill you," he said.
HOOPER, Utah – A 17-year-old Utah boy mowing
the lawn at his home in Hooper ran into a canister of TNT that
may date back as far as World War II. Taylor Wood was mowing the
pasture behind the family home on Sunday and heard a thud. He
then saw a canister that said "TNT shell" on the side.
His mother, Charise Wood, described the canister
as looking like a small can of tomato paste. She quickly called
emergency crews.
Charise Wood said the family has lived in the home
seven years but had never mowed that area of pasture because they
had let horses eat down the grass. Now the family has goats that
aren't interested in that area.
The Weber County sheriff's department took the canister
for disposal.
