Soldiers have front line sex orgy

GREEK Cypriot soldiers involved in a wild sex party at a guard post on the divided Mediterranean islands Green Line were banished to remote corners of the country as punishment, a newspaper has reported.
Politics Daily said up to 10 army recruits were involved in an all-night romp in the Nicosia sector of the no-man's land with a mother-of-three who had them queuing up for more.
"The soldiers formed an orderly line outside the room waiting to have sex one-by-one. At one point two soldiers came along to serve food, even they didn't leave unsatisfied," it said.
Although the woman happily went through the ranks, from lowly privates to the officer in charge, military top brass frowned on her escapades.
The troops were undone when one of the participants decided to capture the moment with his mobile phone and forwarded the video images to fellow recruits.
Army chiefs got wind of what was going on and an internal inquiry was launched.
Those involved were disciplined and had time added on to their length of service, which is 24 months for conscripts, Politis said.
The Greek Cypriot national guard declined to comment on the report.
Cyprus has been divided into Greek- and Turkish-Cypriot sectors since 1974, when Turkish troops seized its northern third in response to an Athens-engineered Greek Cypriot coup aimed at uniting the island with Greece.

Judge ends wet T-shirt contests in nightclubs
Temporary order cites city's zoning
The Sun News
For now, wet T-shirt contests are illegal in Myrtle Beach unless they are held in areas zoned for sexually oriented businesses, an Horry County judge said Tuesday before issuing a temporary restraining order against three nightclubs that have held such contests.
The temporary order is in effect until a hearing for a permanent injunction can be held. That hearing has not been scheduled.
"Wet T-shirt and booty-shake contests ... are a violation of city ordinances," Judge Stan Cross said after hearing testimony from undercover police officers and watching videos of contests held at two of the nightclubs - Hog Wild and Marti's, both located on Kings Highway.
Representatives from Hog Wild and Marti's did not appear in court because the nightclubs have agreed not to fight the temporary injunction. Hog Wild has closed, and Marti's said it no longer will hold wet T-shirt contests.
An attorney for the third nightclub, the Freaky Tiki on Ocean Boulevard, said he will appeal Tuesday's ruling because he thinks the zoning laws are too broad and violate free speech and equal protection rights.
"The statute is vague and unconstitutional," attorney Ralph Wilson said.
None of the nightclubs is in an area zoned for adult entertainment.
Tuesday's ruling means the Freaky Tiki cannot hold wet T-shirt contests unless it wins an appeal or the city fails to get a permanent injunction.
Wilson said that is irrelevant because the Freaky Tiki was forced to close last week after Cross, in a separate case, called the nightclub a public nuisance that encourages lewd and illegal behavior among its patrons. Wilson said he also will appeal that ruling.
"It is impossible, without them violating a court order, to have any activity in the club, much less a wet T-shirt contest," Wilson said.
Undercover police officers with Myrtle Beach and the State Law Enforcement Division testified Tuesday that they have seen dozens of wet T-shirt contests in recent years.
"Each of the contests I've seen follows the same track," one officer said.
He said the con
tests "start out mild" but get racier as each contestant tries to outdo the previous one. By the end of the contest, the police officer said, women often are totally nude.
Two videos shown during the hearing featured wet T-shirt contestants at Hog Wild and Marti's removing their shirts and dancing suggestively. At one point, Cross asked Michael Battle, the city's attorney, to stop the video.
"I think we've seen enough," the judge said.
There was no video from the Freaky Tiki, but Battle showed photos taken from the club's Web site that feature scenes from a wet T-shirt contest. (Funny, the club and the site are closed!!!)
Wilson objected to the evidence, saying the hearing was to determine whether illegal activity had taken place in the Freaky Tiki, not on its Web site.
Cross accepted the evidence, however, saying the Web site photos are indicative of the type of activity taking place at the nightclub.
Under questioning, the police officers said they had not seen a wet T-shirt contest at the Freaky Tiki this year and had not made any arrests during the contests they witnessed last year.
In response to Wilson's questioning, the SLED officer said he never reported any activity taking place at the Freaky Tiki to Myrtle Beach police.
"If you believe what you saw was illegal conduct, would you have reported it?" Wilson asked.
"Probably so," the SLED officer said.
Wilson told Cross he was concerned about the lack of evidence against the Freaky Tiki and asked the judge to dismiss the case.
But Cross granted the temporary injunction, saying what he saw in the videos and heard from police convinced the 63-year-old judge "my generation is the most naive generation that ever lived."
Battle said getting an injunction is the best way to stop sexually oriented contests in clubs catering to tourists. He said arresting the contests' participants has not been an effective deterrent in the past.

I have a bit more on the story. The Freaky Tiki is also the same club that Anna got freaked out at when she was doing a photo shoot here. Click here for more .
