Fly Nude
Wire services

A Texas travel agency which organises clothing-optional holidays, has been running what it claims is the world’s first nude flight.

Houston-based Castaways Travel says sex won’t be allowed on the flight from Miami to Cancun in Mexico. It has chartered a Boeing 727 for up to 170 passengers for flights to the El Dorado Resort & Spa. The crew will be professionally dressed, and passengers must be fully-clothed for check-in and takeoff.

Company owner, James Bailey, said most of the seats on the nude flights and rooms in the resort have already been booked. He said “Inappropriate behaviour is not condoned. This is not a Mile High Club, not a bunch of groupies or anything. It’s just a fun flight.” Only when the plane has reached its cruising altitude can the passengers strip off.

The Federal Aviation Administration said: “We have no regulations pertaining to nudity on board an aircraft. It’s not a safety issue.”

Jenna Jameson Pornstar Ringtones
Wire services

This is one cellphone you might not want to set to “High & Vibrate.” Porn star Jenna Jameson is now hawking her “moan tones.”

For $2.50 fans of the ubiquitous porno queen can choose from a variety of moans, grunts and lurid sexual noises all recorded by the blond bombshell. If that’s not enough, Jameson will talk dirty to you when you phones rings, in English or Spanish.

“Rock stars make music tones, porn stars make moan tones,” said Dennis Adamo, head of Wicked Wireless. “We thought it would be an interesting novel approach of introducing new content to the mobile users.”

Jameson’s charms are already being downloaded in Argentina, Ecuador, Venezuela, and in a couple of weeks will be available from Mexico to Uruguay. No mobile carriers in the United States have expressed any interest in carrying the service.

Cannibal of Michoacán
Wire services

A man was arrested and accused of murdering his own father, when he was caught about to devour the body after the victim was brutalized. The event took place at the small city of Indaparapeo, east of Michoacán, Mexico. The alleged cannibal was identified as Francisco Maldonado Garcia, male, age 45 from Las Galeras.

Neighbors stated to the police that the cannibal attacked his father with a machete, and a metal structure used as a char broiler. After that, Garcia started to eat the head of his father, and drink his blood. It was then when he was arrested by the police, who got to the scene of the crime alerted by the terrorized neighbors.

Eat the Worm
Cox News Service

According to a report from Mexico City, the government nearly killed its export market for the fabled mezcal, a liquor (similar to tequila) traditionally sold with a worm floating in the bottle.
