Not new stories, but recently bought to my attention.

Sparks fly after sex on stage

Sparks are predictably flying after an act at a Norwegian music festival Tuesday suddenly featured live sex on stage. Local police are investigating the incident and a local politician from the Christian Democrats says he'll file charges. Festival organizers claim they weren't told about the sex stunt and wouldn't have approved it.

The act occurred during an appearance by a Norwegian band called The Cumshots, led by actor/musician Kristopher Schau. Both the band and Schau are known for their attempts to shock and outrage the general public.

Midway during the Cumshots' set, two environmental activists appeared on stage and started having sex in a variety of positions. The couple, Tommy Holm Ellingsen and Leona Johansson, are known for donating revenues from an Internet porn site they run to save rain forests around the world.

Animal bordellos draw Norwegians

Neither Denmark nor Norway has a prohibition on sex with animals, as long as the animals do not suffer.

On the Internet Danish animal owners advertise openly that they offer sex with animals, without intervention from police or other authorities, Danish newspaper 24timer reports.

In correspondence with the animal owners, the newspaper was told that the animals involved have many years of experience and that the animals themselves wanted sex. The cost to the client varied from DKK 500-1,000 (USD 85-170).

Former cop busted in pig pen

A shocked pig farmer could not believe his eyes as he watched a man drop his trousers and assault several members of his herd. The farmer managed to grab a camera and get evidence of the public bestiality, and the animal lover has been convicted, newspaper VG reports.

"It was hard to comprehend what I was in fact seeing," said the Skien farmer. He managed to get nine shots of the former policeman he spotted sexually assaulting his pigs.

Telemark police said the case is closed and the man fined NOK 8,000 (USD 1,060) for violating animal protection laws.
