Obscene Photos Found in Myrtle Beach Hotel

WMBF: One Myrtle Beach hotel found itself covered with obscene photos Friday morning and no known suspects.

At approximately 9 a.m. Friday morning, Myrtle Beach Police responded to a hotel on South Ocean Boulevard to find pornographic and obscene materials that had been placed in the common areas.

According to a police report, security at the resort had begun to find these materials beginning at 10 p.m. Thursday night in various locations throughout the building, including door frames, elevator doors and stairwells. The photos were collected by security and turned in to Myrtle Beach Police.

The photos collected were found in areas of the hotel not under the surveillance of video cameras, and appeared to be removed from an old photo album. The police report stated that the photos were old polaroids, possibly taken in the early 70s of adults engaged in "various sexual acts."

Anyone with information about this incident should contact Myrtle Beach Police.

DSK Hotel Scandal Being Made Into Porn Flick

The Local: The scandal surrounding the former IMF boss Dominique Strauss-Kahn is to be turned into a porn film, with the producers asking members of the public to help fund the project.

The film, with the working title “DXK”, is to be produced by the company My Porn Production and will star Roberto Malone as the lead character “David Sex King.” Porn star Sandra Romain will play his wife and Katia De Lys will portray the hotel maid.

The production company’s website has called on members of the public to help fund the film’s €200,000 production. A minimum of €50 will secure their names in the credits and an invitation to the premiere.

According to the producers, the film will be a “parody” of the scandal that saw Strauss-Kahn accused of sexually assaulting Nafissatou Diallo, a Guinean hotel maid, while she was working at a New York hotel.

The US prosecutors dropped the case at the end of August, because of doubts about Diallo’s credibility. The scandal dashed Strauss-Kahn’s hopes of becoming the Socialist Party’s challenger to President Nicolas Sarkozy in next year’s election.

Strauss-Kahn is still facing a US civil suit brought against him by Diallo. Meanwhile, prosecutors in France halted an investigation into claims that he sexually assaulted French writer Tristane Banon in 2003 because the statute of limitations had expired.

The former IMF director is also caught up in another sex scandal, this time involving prostitutes allegedly procured by the management of the luxury Carlton hotel in Lille.

Traveler Receives Personal Message from TSA

NY Daily News: What a creepster!

A New York woman claims that a skeevy TSA agent left a TSA slip in her luggage with a note reading: "Get your freak on Girl" after he found a "personal item" in her suitcase.

Jill Filipovic, the editor of the website Feministe, told the Daily News in an email that she flew from Newark International to Dublin to take part in a debate on abortion rights and found the note while she was unpacking in Ireland.

Filipovic said she just took it in stride.

"I'm traveling alone, so I didn't say anything when I found the note, but I did re-read it a bunch of times just to make sure I wasn't imagining things, and then I started laughing," she wrote.

She then threw it up on Twitter and her website (under the subject line: Your tax dollars at work) to share with all of her friends and loyal followers - who also found the incident to be nothing but hilarious.

"HAHAHAHHAHAHA," wrote one. "Pause to wipe tears from face."

Other readers offered to send her a replacement vibrator, while a conservative blogger accused her of planting the note herself, she said.

"I wish I was that creative!" she wrote.

Despite the humor, Filipovic said she found the incident to be incredibly invasive - and incredibly creepy.

"To the agent who wrote the note, I'd like to say that he has actually impeded me from getting my freak on, since I now have to dispose of the offending item, as I'm not sure what he did with it while it was in his possession," she wrote.

She also called the incident "wildly inappropriate". She said she suspected the note-writer thought she's be too embarrassed to go public.

"That probably would be true for most folks, and understandably so. Unfortunately, he picked the bag of a feminist blogger who writes about sexuality and sexual health regularly, and is awfully hard to embarrass (at least in that regard)."

She said she would most likely contact the TSA when she returned stateside. The TSA told the News it was investigating.

"TSA takes all allegations of inappropriate conduct seriously and is investigating this claim," a spokeswoman said in a statement.

Canadian Flight Attendants Featured in 2012 Calendar

Jaunted: And just like that, fall has arrived. And just like that, it's about time to consider buying 2012 calendars. This year, may we suggest skipping the bookstores for something you definitely won't find there: The Turbulence Calendar of Canadian Flight Attendants.

You read right—this calendar is only featuring ladies who end their sentences with "eh?" and like to start the day at Tim Horton's. The calendar shoot recently took place in a cheap motel, to give the ladies that layover-chic look, we guess. There's no preview shots aside from the awkward one above, and the saucy background photo of their website.

The calendar won't hit the e-shelves until November and there's a few promo events where you can meet the models (and get their signatures, of course). Now we only wonder what lucky airline will get to honor of being Miss July.

Female Airline Passenger Drank Whiskey & Demanded Sex

Katherine Goldberg

 The Telegraph: Katherine Goldberg, who works in education, was on a flight from South Africa to Heathrow when she drunkenly assaulted the crew member by grabbing his penis, it was claimed.

She consumed the whisky on the August flight when the assault happened, Uxbridge Magistrates Court was told.

Stella Waata, prosecuting, said: "The circumstances are that Miss Goldberg was on a flight from South Africa to Heathrow and she was drunk whilst on the airplane.

"She proceeded to sexually assault one of the crew members by demanding to have sex with him and grabbing his penis and crotch area. She was believed to have drunk at least 50 centilitres of whisky."

She added: "I understand what representations are to be made in relation to the charge of sexual assault."

Ms Goldberg's lawyer applied to adjourn the case to make representations in relation to the charge of sexual assault and asked that Ms Goldberg receive a caution.

Mr Brennan said: "The purpose of my application is so that we can raise our representations with the Crown. I wish to raise representations in relation to one of the charges, that matters are dealt with by way of a caution rather than continuing with the court proceedings. It is a serious allegation but there are good reasons why it would be in the public interest for the Crown to deal with her by way of a caution."

"I have told the court that admissions were made in interview and if matters are not deal with by way of a caution there will be a plea of guilty at the next occasion. She was charged immediately, without any representation being able to be made to the CPS as to whether diversions would be appropriate."

Agreeing to the adjournment, Miss Waata said: "I understand what representations are to be made in relation to the charge of sexual assault. Given the circumstances, I understand Miss Goldberg works in education, a short adjournment of one week would not be disagreeable."

Miss Goldberg, of Ealing Common, west London, is charged with one count of sexual assault on a male and another of being drunk in an aircraft.

Wearing a white shirt and light pink trousers and appearing tearful in the dock, she spoke only to confirm her name, address and date of birth and was granted unconditional bail until her next appearance at the same court on 22 September.

Soccer Fans Watch Couple Score in Hotel Room



Model Alicia Tenderness

 UPI: A woman spotted having sex in a hotel room overlooking a Belgian stadium during a soccer match said she and her beau had thought the windows were tinted.

The woman, who identified herself by her stage name, Alicia Tenderness, 26, said she and her boyfriend did not realize soccer fans could see into their stadium hotel room during Saturday's Lokeren game in Sint-Truiden, the Dutch-language Sportwereld reported Monday.

Tenderness, a model and escort, said she and her boyfriend were shocked to see their picture in newspapers and on the Internet the following day.

"When checking out on Sunday morning the lady at the desk responded very cold, but we did not understand why. The realization came when we read the newspaper Monday," Tenderness said.

She expressed outrage that the hotel manager had filed an indecency complaint against her. She said the manager should have installed tinted windows in the rooms.

Thailand Seeks to Shed 'Sex Tourism' Slur

DaijiWorld: Arguably called the sex tourism capital of the world, Thailand is now deliberately using the family tourism tag to shed the sex destination tag, Tomwit Jarnson, the Royal Thai country consul general in Mumbai has said here.

Jarnson told IANS on the sidelines of an event organised Friday to promote Thailand as a tourism destination that family tourism would eventually edge Thailand away from the slur of 'sex tourism' in the years to come.

"We are trying to project Thailand as a family tourism destination. We are slowly changing the perception of Thailand to the rest of the world," Jarnson said.

He said the Thai food and dance festival in Goa, in association with the Vivanta by Taj hotels and resorts, was just such an attempt to project Thailand as a place steeped in culture, which is quite similar to the culture of the Indian sub-continent and tradition and a rich and diverse culinary palette.

"Destination Thailand is an annual event organised by us which helps us reach out to the people of India through our food, music and dance," Jarnson said.

"We are very happy to have the festival in Goa this year where the people of this city will experience the unique characteristics and rich cultural heritage which our country has to offer," he added.

"We are slowly developing facilities in Thailand which will attract family tourism. We have a lot of Indian families who travel to Thailand," Jarnson said.

He said the Thailand tourism authorities were trying to project Phuket - which along with Bangkok and Pattaya are regarded as the prime sex tourism areas in Thailand - as a family tourism destination.

Although banned by law, prostitution is common place in the tourism districts of Thailand, which see nearly 14 million tourists annually, a large chunk of which are single males or male groups of tourists seeking sex or sex-oriented fun.

A recent World Health Organisation (WHO) report has pegged the number of female prostitutes at two lakh.

Cockpit Sex Scandal Derails Cathay Pacific Ad Campaign

International Business Times: Cathay Pacific has postponed the second phase of the company's high-profile international advertising campaign after a sex scandal involving photographs of crew members allegedly engaging in sexual acts circulated online and in Chinese-language newspapers.

Photographs were posted on the Internet showing a woman in a red outfit (right) resembling airline crew uniforms performing sexual acts on a man on board an airplane. The man was supposedly the woman's boyfriend. The photos, depicting a pilot and a flight attendant, have received a flood Internet traffic and attention from Hong Kong to abroad.

Cathay Pacific's campaign was to feature advertisements showing personalities of the airline's crew in a personal-touch promotion, highlighting employees with bios and actual photographs in uniform. But the company has postponed the ad campaign in light of the Internet sex scandal.

The airline had success with the initial phase of its campaign, which made mini-celebrities of attractive flight attendants whose images were used in TV ads, publications and billboards worldwide, according to the South China Morning Post. The campaign featured 100 Cathay Pacific staff members.

But the photographs and scandal on the Internet caused a different type of mini-celebrity buzz that Cathay Pacific wants no part of.

Company chief executive John Slosar said in a statement that two members of the crew were "shown in compromising situations" in photographs but that those crew members are "no longer employees of the company." Slosar said there's no evidence that indecent sex acts happened in-flight.

Cathay Pacific is a service-based airline that boasts a five-start Skytrax rating. The airline caters to business travelers flying in and out of Hong Kong, the Asian financial center. But despite the success of the initial campaign, the company felt holding back was the best course of action in light of the Internet sex scandal.

The campaign's slogan was to be: "Meet the team who go after the extra mile to make you feel special."

"Let me be crystal clear about one thing," Slosar said in a statement about the scandal. "I find any behavior that recklessly soils the reputation of our company and our team members as totally unacceptable."

The second installment of the ad campaign was scheduled to roll out Sept. 1, but now it will be postponed until Oct. 1 because the company said "the original timing doesn't suit us," a company spokesman said.

Sex Advice Video Available on Quantas Flights

Daily Mail: Want to know more - or anything - about the female orgasm? Then just sit back in your Qantas seat, flick on the in-flight entertainment programme and it is all there.

A documentary, The Female Orgasm Explained, that was first run on an Australian TV network has raised eyebrows among the Australian airline's economy passengers. With excerpts from old porn films, it features graphics and sounds that are likely to make conservative commuters squirm and reach for the comedy channel.

The French-made film has been included in the airline's in-flight entertainment programme on its international flights to help viewers 'understand the intricacies of the female orgasm,' said a spokesman. And while it has resulted in some passengers changing to other shows, Qantas spokesman Luke Enright said the programme was the most popular on its TV channel and would continue to be screened until November.

'A programme synopsis is provided in the in-flight entertainment guide and the channel carries a warning that some of the content is not suitable for children,' said Mr Enright.

The film also carries a Mature Adults rating and the crew are able to block the film if it is available at a seat occupied by unaccompanied minors at the request of parents. While many passengers have switched on, sociology experts have raised concerns about it being available on an airline.

Dr Michael Flood, a sociologist at the University of Wollongong, south of Sydney, said airing the documentary in a public domain was 'fascinating but problematic.'

He told Sydney's Daily Telegraph that it was great if children and young people could learn about sexual pleasure 'because most children are only taught about the biology of sex. But I don't think this documentary is 'age appropriate' and it's not designed as a sexual education tool.'

'There's a growing sexuality in our culture and perhaps it reflects how sexual material is being made increasingly available.'

Report: Strauss-Kahn Refused to Pay for Sex

New York Post: She had dollar signs in her eyes.

Before she ever walked into Dominique Strauss-Kahn's dazzling suite at the Sofitel, his accuser was well aware of his VIP status -- and planning to get her hands in his deep pockets, sources told The Post.

"She figured he's a rich dude, and she would get paid," said a source close to the defense investigation. "She was told by the crew she ran with that this was a gold mine."

The maid, who routinely traded sex for money with male guests, parked her cleaning cart outside Suite 2806 on the morning of May 14 and keyed her way into the room -- knowing what he looked like from a photo hanging in a maid closet that identified him as an important guest.

Multiple versions have emerged of what happened next, but nobody disputes that the 32-year-old maid performed oral sex on the Frenchman known as "the Great Seducer." Sources now tell The Post that when the two were finished, the woman demanded cash from Strauss-Kahn -- but he refused to pay.

“There was an expectation of money after the fact, but he was dismissive," the source said. And not gently, the source said -- DSK brushed off the maid's request as he turned his back and got dressed.

She pressed her case.

"She remained in the room with him while he got dressed for at least nine minutes," the source said. The humiliating exchange sparked the maid's anger, prosecutors suspect.

The woman's lawyer has charged that DSK angrily grabbed her breast and vagina, leaving her with bruises to the groin area. The fight also apparently prompted DSK to bolt the Sofitel in such a hurry that he left behind a cellphone.

Unraveling the explosive events became more complicated with the accuser's varying versions of what happened both in the hotel suite and afterward, prosecutors say. In the hours following the incident, she told cops Strauss-Kahn chased her, grabbed her, locked the suite's door and then dragged her into a bedroom to force her to perform oral sex.

She claimed she broke free only to be dragged into a bathroom to complete the sexual encounter -- and that at one point Strauss-Kahn tried to pull off her pantyhose and rape her. She also claimed she didn't know who her alleged attacker was.

"She didn't know who Dominique Strauss-Kahn was at the time of the incident. I was the one who explained to her," a relative told AFP. Yet within a day, the maid was recorded speaking on the phone with a jailed drug dealer, reportedly crowing about a potential windfall if she pursued charges.

Her lies then caught up with her.

"In the weeks following the incident charged in the indictment, the complainant told detectives and assistant district attorneys on numerous occasions that, after being sexually assaulted . . . she fled to an area of the main hallway of the hotel's 28th floor and waited there until she observed the defendant . . . entering an elevator," reads a letter from prosecutors.

She said she then alerted her supervisor and waited for him. She repeated this version to cops and a grand jury -- but finally admitted she later cleaned a nearby room and DSK's suite before reporting the incident to her supervisor.

The DA's case has fallen into turmoil, and DSK was freed of his strict bail conditions. "The investigation is continuing. It may lead to dismissal. It may not," a senior prosecutor involved in the case said yesterday, adding the DA's Office has not decided whether to go forward with the case.

DSK enjoyed his newfound freedom yesterday by leaving his swanky TriBeCa town house at 3 p.m. in one of a small fleet of limos. After a brief stop at the TimeWarner Center in Columbus Circle, he and wife Anne Sinclair went to the Museum of Modern Art, dining in the fifth-floor café that overlooks a lush garden, workers said. They were back home at around 5:30 p.m.

"He looked extremely happy -- he's free," said one museum worker.

At the Sofitel, one worker was mystified by the sullied maid's web of sex and lies, and doubted others would ever follow suit. "Why would they risk that?" he said.

Travelodge: Future Hotel Rooms to Facilitate Virtual Sex

Travel Mole: So now we know. Travelodge has unveiled what the hotel room of the future looks like and it involves virtual love making, checking your emails via contact lenses as you drift off and learning stuff in your sleep.

The budget hotel chain has hired renowned futurologist Ian Pearson to come up with what the typical hotel room might look like in 2030 and the answer is one that uses technology to monitor your energy levels, health, moods and emotions to help you get a better night's kip.

Travelodge said Pearson's six month study showed that a good night's sleep in a hotel room in the future will provide recreation, learning and medical monitoring.

To quote the report: "By 2030 we will be able to manage the contents of our dreams as in the movie Inception. Video, audio, smells and tactile experiences produced using our bed or bed linen will play a key role in helping to make our dreams feel real.

“We will be able to replay our favourite dream from a menu just like choosing a movie. Also, we will be link into dreams with our partner or family and friends and enjoy a shared dream experience."

It goes on: "The dream management system will also act as a coach, offering the opportunity to study or even learn a new language whilst asleep.

“Remote virtual love making will be possible by 2030, allowing individuals to connect with their partner whilst away from home. Couples will also be able to benefit from the ability to link peripheral nervous systems via active skin electronics together for enhanced love making. This will enable both individuals to experience each other’s feelings and emotions.

"Also, by wearing active lenses to change the image delivered to their retinas, individuals will be able to adjust how their partner looks whilst making love. This will enable people to change the image of their partner on a regular basis, and only they will be aware as their lover will not be able to tell what they are looking at.”

Pearson predicts that by 2030 it will be possible to diagnose some medical conditions by monitoring sleep patterns whilst sleepwear will have electro-responsive fabrics that will aid measurement of skin conductivity, indicating stress or relaxation states, pulse, blood pressure and quality of heart signals.

He says active contact lenses delivering 3D images will allow those drifting off to sleep to watch TV or check emails.

Said Pearson: “On average we spend a third of our lives asleep and this will still be the case in 2030. Technology will not change our basic need to slumber but it will certainly enhance the experience, enabling sleep to have much greater value than merely rest and recuperation."

He sees augmented reality (Google it) enabling any surfaces in a hotel room to act as displays which can offer up TV shows, paintings, pictures of loved ones or photos of the guest's bedroom at home.

Meanwhile outdoor noises such as the sound of the sea or a forest can enter the room via a flat panel audio built into the window and this can be heightened by air con or heating which can match those sounds to the appropriate temperature.

What's more, soft surfaces such as fabrics will interact in tactile ways to produce scents, change colours and pick up signals from the skin. Guests will be able to instantly change the colour, pattern and texture of their room furnishings.

Pearson also foresees 360 degree mirrors to allow views from all angles, the ability to see local tourist attractions remotely from your room and the chance to shop without leaving your room via a store's interior being replicated on the walls.

Pearson added: "Hotels in 2030 will offer customers a bespoke room and experience on every visit. Lonely business travellers will be able to turn their hotel room into their bedroom at home and with augmented and virtual reality, they can even share the experience with their partner anywhere in the world. Leisure travellers will be able to bring their favourite sights, sounds and smells into their hotel room for the ultimate stay.”
