A Fun Sexy Time: Three-ways are illegal?

Here's a chunk of this article from Military.com:

SPANGDAHLEM AIR BASE, Germany — A Spangdahlem-based airman was sentenced Monday to four months confinement for her part in a sexual act with two other airmen.
Airman 1st Class Ashley N. Rains pleaded guilty at a court-martial to two indecent acts charges.

She had faced rape and sodomy charges but admitted to the lesser charges as part of a plea deal.

It basically goes on to say that the lawyers argued that everyone involved was tanked (isn't that how most threegys happen in the first place?) and a lot of messing around took place.

I'm no military expert, but I'm confused a couple different ways on this: 1) This happened in Germany, where there is tacit understanding of BDSM poop sex being pretty yawny and typical. So if this happened off base, I find it hard to believe that Germany had a problem with it.

My #2 problem with this (no pun intended) is the article doesn't touch on how this went public. Were they having this 3-way on a runway or something? Is this the kind of thing you have to report to a superior? "Sir, yes sir, I was engaged in hot 3-way action and maintained the 'lucky Pierre' position for the duration, sir!" Are you not allowed "private time" (again, no pun intended) in the military? This is craziness. If a bunch of young, impressionable kids want to have a fun sexy time I say why not? If we don't let them, don't the terrorists win?

Holy Shit: My Favorite Falwell Quote

"The Bible is the inerrant ... word of the living God. It is absolutely infallible,without error in all matters pertaining to faith and practice, as well as in areas such as geography, science, history, etc."

-- Jerry Falwell, Finding Inner Peace and Strength

Sure. Who would know better than you? Biblical historians? Feh.

Thanks for everything, Jerry. For the Moral Majority, The Teletubby thing, The blaming the gays for Hurricane Katrina, The blaming the ACLU for 9/11, and for every other little thing. So long, douchebag.

Now that you're gone someone needs to take your place. I heard Ted Haggard is looking for a gig.

Bashin' on the MySpace!

Rupert: In some circles may be considered "rough trade"

If you believe the blogger buzz floating around today, it would appear as though Aussie walking fossil and media whore enabler Rupert Murdoch has removed "gay" from the orientation listing on the News Corp. owned MySpace.

The story (excerpted) from Raw Story:

The popular social networking site MySpace appears to have eliminated the ability of users to list their sexual orientation as 'Gay' within their profiles.

The screen shot below shows that the function that allows MySpace users to edit their personal profiles has eliminated 'Gay' as an option under the 'Background and Lifestyles' section. Curiously, users can still list themselves as 'Lesbian' or 'Bi.'

Who what on the who now? So muff-munching is kosher, and apparently it's okay to suck the occasional ding-dong so long as you don't turn pro? Cue my confusion-face.

Frankly I think this was some overzealous database tomfoolery (or in MySpace's case "Tom"-foolery). Likely the data monkeys were working on the MySpace DB and neglected to turn the gayness back on or something after a routine scrubbing. Whatever. Big deal. Even a tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist like myself finds this a little goofy. Why eschew gay but leave in "bi," which as every regular viewer of the long lost Rikki Lake show knows means "Bi the way, I'm gay!" To be generous, "bi" is just shorthand for Junior Varsity Gay.

Relax kids, there's always facebook, and friendster, and the innumerable clones that are being built currently by Rolling Stone, Spin, Amazon, Clearchannel, and every other corporate stooge standing in the wings trying to sell you sneakers and Doritos.
