SEATTLE - Some pranksters got to a time capsule before it was officially unsealed at the University of Washington.
The capsule had been sealed in the wall of the Communications Building in 1957, and contained textbooks, newspapers and tapes from that era.
But sometime in the early 1980’s someone broke in and left pornography and dirty underwear that drew giggles and gasps from a group of alumni.
The capsule is being replaced by another one containing digital media.

yes, i own a porn company.
during my journeys, this discovery gets a medley of reactions. while most are intrigued, some become bambi in headlights and excuse themselves from my presence. the intrigued ones typically start emerging themselves into a barrage of questions about my work. everyone pretty much asks all the same questions and i don’t mind answering them as long as i’m in the mood to do it, since it never turns out to be a short conversation and i don’t always have the time or energy. when i do field questions, they’re usually surprised at how boring some of it really is. i mean, it’s work…accounting, paperwork (lots and lots of paperwork), employees, contract labor, laws that seem to change daily, visits from law enforcement, expensive attorneys, right wing attacks, countless hours in front of an editing machine, and so much more. of course, in between all of that, there are nude people in front of me having sex….but most seem to tune out until i get to that part
i was extremely fortunate to have gotten on the web when there weren’t very many of us on it yet. this gave me an edge over the masses, especially when i met the owner of an adult video company who told me that i could make money by sending people to his site. in the days before (what we now call) spam, this was simple. horny guys who saw my affiliate link clicked on it, bought porn, and then the company sent me a check once a month. my first check from them for only half a month was about $3000.00. i was in shock and just knew it was going to bounce, but it cleared without issue. each month, the checks got bigger. now you have to understand something here…i had never seen that amount of money in my life. not in such a short amount of time for doing very little work (i.e. sitting at a computer) and i was hooked. i kept teaching myself web design and eventually began learning how to do simple scripts, which increased my affiliate link’s exposure and my impatience for that big check in the mail.
but…what goes up must come down. sort of.
suddenly more and more people were jumping on board the “information superhighway”, which caused others like me to begin their own porn affiliate venture. this was the beginning of the onslaught of which we’re all now aware. porn had saturated the web and countless thousands wanted their piece of the proverbial porn pie.
these bastards (teehee) started nipping at my income like a rabbid squirrel on his last nut and i had to do something. fast.
i looked at every angle inside and outside the box. analyzing, overanalyzing, beating dead horses, etc., until i decided that the company i was pimping traffic for had something i didn’t. content. i would soon discover that i needed that too.
during all of this, i got a part-time job at an adult video store to see if i could get any insider information, but the owner kept everything secret. all i could do was observe what was selling on my shifts.
while sitting behind the counter one night, i began to notice how intimidated most people were to buy porn (especially if it was something like transsexual videos) and how seemingly embarassed they were to bring it up to the counter to pay for it. i remember thinking that there had to be some way for me to put the porn on my website and then let them just order it through the mail from me. i just figured that they could mail me an order form and a check or money order and then i’d buy the video for them and discreetly mail it to them (credit card processing didn’t exist back then for the average joe).
this revelation (almost an epiphany) spawned what was to become the caveat to where i am today. but wait, is it really that easy to sell or make porn? i mean, there was certainly nobody to ask how to do this…no “how to make and sell porn for dummies” book, nothing in the library. just me, my instincts, my analytical skills, and my creativity.
i received zero support from the friends i told, except one (thanks jo ann!) she loaned me some start up money (about a thousand dollars i think). since i spent all my money i was earning and had nothing to show for it, i couldn’t afford this new endeavor. she believed in me and that i could build something massive and loaned me the money without question or a time-frame to pay her back. although i had a good idea what my next steps would be, i certainly had no clue how long it would take to make a profit and pay her back. she new and understood this, so that pressure was off my shoulders.
after exhausting my brain trying to process how one would go about shooting a porn video (remember…porn videos were just these things with no origin that sat on the shelves at adult bookstores), i decided it was finally time to stop thinking and start shooting, knowing that some trial and error would do me good. i’m the type who definitely learns from his mistakes and fortunes, so a porn shootin’ i went!

OCONOMOWOC, Wis. (AP) - A man says he broke into an apartment with a cavalry sword because he thought he heard a woman being raped, but the sound actually was from a pornographic movie his upstairs neighbor was watching.”Now I feel stupid,” said James Van Iveren, who has been charged in the case. “This really is nothing, nothing but a mistake.”According to a criminal complaint, the neighbor told police that Van Iveren pounded on the door and kicked it open without warning Feb. 12, damaging the frame and lock.“Where is she?” Van Iveren demanded, thrusting the sword at the neighbor, the complaint said. “Where is she?”
The neighbor told police Van Iveren became increasingly aggressive as he repeated the question, insisting that he had heard a woman being raped. The complaint said that, with the sword pointed at him, the neighbor led Van Iveren throughout the apartment, opening closet doors to prove he was alone.
The neighbor later played for police the part of the DVD he believed Van Iveren heard downstairs.
Van Iveren, 39, of Oconomowoc, was charged with criminal trespass, criminal damage and disorderly conduct, all while using a dangerous weapon, and is due in court March 5. Together, the misdemeanor counts carry a maximum sentence of 33 months in jail.
Van Iveren said Tuesday that he heard a woman “screaming for help,” grabbed the sword, bounded up the stairs, kicked in the apartment door and confronted the man who lived there.
“I intended to hold it behind my back and knock. But I froze and instead, what happened happened,” he told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Contesting his neighbor’s account, Van Iveren said he didn’t look anywhere in the apartment except the front room, and that he never threatened the neighbor with the sword.
“I had the sword extended. But that was all,” he said.
Van Iveren, who lives with his mother in the downstairs apartment, said he did not call police when he heard the noises because he does not have a telephone. He said he barely knew the upstairs tenant.
Police seized Van Iveren’s sword, which he said was a family heirloom.

ONTARIO, N.Y. (AP) - It’s not your typical church breakfast. An event billed as “Porn and Pancakes” is being hosted by a church in rural upstate New York.
The breakfast discussion on the pornography industry in America is planned next month at the Living Word Assembly of God Church in the town of Ontario, about ten miles east of Rochester.
A billboard advertisement near the church shows the words “Porn and Pancakes” written in syrup on a stack of flapjacks.
Organizers told a Rochester TV station that the event on February 10th will be an honest discussion about pornography and its impact on society. The discussion will be led by Triple-X Church, a group of youth ministers who travel the country talking about porn and the porn industry.
The pastor of the Wayne County church and churches from Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse have asked about hosting “Porn and Pancakes” events.

The Maine Bureau of Liquor Enforcement had blocked a beer importer from selling the brew, along with two beers with labels depicting bare-breasted women. Those decisions were reversed after the state attorney general’s office determined that the company probably would win the lawsuit the American Civil Liberties Union filed on its behalf last month.
State officials had barred the English-made Santa’s Butt out of concern its label might appeal to children. It depicts a rear view of a beer-drinking Santa sitting on a “butt,” a large barrel brewers once used to store beer.
The other previously banned beers feature paintings of bare-breasted women on their labels. One of the paintings hangs in the Louvre - Eugene Delacroix’s “Liberty Leading the People” - and the other was commissioned by the importer, Belchertown, Mass.-based Shelton Brothers.

MONCKS CORNER, S.C. (AP) - The flames of passion cost a former firefighter $200 after he and his then-girlfriend had sex in upscale house that was still under construction.
Former Hanahan firefighter Paul Joseph Sloan, 25, pleaded guilty Tuesday to a single charge of unlawful entry into an enclosed place.
Police arrested the two in September while investigating a suspicious fire in the home two days after the tryst.
The investigation turned toward the couple after Sloan told police they would find his DNA in the house because the couple wanted to be the first to have sex “in the mansion,” according to an investigating officer.
The woman, 20-year-old Courtney Michelle King of Summerville, will appear in court later.
The couple was originally charged with burglary - defined as unlawfully entering a building with the intent to commit a crime. Police contended the crime in this case was fornication.
Prosecutors decided not to pursue that charge or the burglary charge.
The misdemeanor charge of fornication - sex between an unmarried man and women - is still on the books in South Carolina, although the state Supreme Court has ruled the law unconstitutional.

LONDON, Oct 25 (Reuters) - Researchers are struggling to understand a rare medical condition where sufferers unknowingly demand, or actually have, sex while asleep, New Scientist magazine reported on Wednesday.
Research into sexsomnia — making sexual advances toward another person while asleep — has been hampered as sufferers are so embarrassed by the problem they tend not to own up to it, while doctors do not ask about it.
As yet there is no cure for the condition, which often leads to difficulties in relationships.
“It really bothers me that I can’t control it,” Lisa Mahoney told the magazine. “It scares me because I don’t think it has anything to do with the partner. I don’t want this foolish condition to hurt us in the long run.”
Most researchers view sexsomnia as a variant of sleepwalking, where sufferers are stuck between sleep and wakefulness, though sexsomniacs tend to stay in bed rather than get up and walk about.
While sleepwalking affects two to four percent of adults, sexsomnia is not thought to be as common a problem, according to Nik Trajanovic, a researcher at the sleep and alertness clinic at Canada’s Toronto Western Hospital.
But an Internet survey of sexsomniacs carried out in 2005 that drew 219 reliable respondents concluded it was more prevalent than medical case reports alone might suggest.
“Most of the time sleep sex occurs between people who are already partners,” Mark Pressman, a sleep specialist at Lankenan Hospital in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania, told the New Scientist.
“Sometimes they hate it,” added Pressman of the reactions of sexsomniacs’ partners. “Sometimes they tolerate it. On rare occasions you have stories of people liking it better than waking sex.”
With no cure, addressing triggering factors — stress or sleep deprivation — can help, while Michael Mangan, a psychologist at the University of New Hampshire in the U.S. has set up a Web site, www.sleepsex.org, to help sufferers.
Meanwhile Trajanovic is devising a procedure for diagnosing sexsomnia in legal cases where sufferers have been accused of sexual assault.

October 24, 2006 — Immediate Release
Contact: Keith Griffith – 866-410-2377
E-mail: keith@cruisingforsex.com
Owners of the gay website, Cruising For Sex, will announce this week plans to shut down all their websites for a full day on Election Day in a campaign they’re calling “Don’t Stroke! Vote!” November 7, 2006 is the day for mid-term elections in the United States and all 435 House seats, 33 Senate seats, and 36 governorships are up for grabs.
“We want to encourage site visitors to stop stroking on this one day and instead devote their spare time to voting,” said company founder Keith Griffith. “It is also not missed on us the not so subtle message to site visitors that the future of porn in the USA is on the line. Taking porn offline is an intention of the current Bush administration and this is being backed by laws from Congress.”
Griffith said he was not aware of similar plans by other websites but the decision to make this public 2 weeks ahead of the election is done in hopes that other webmasters will take similar action. “This could be a truly meaningful grassroots action to draw attention to what is at stake in the USA. Porn is at risk as an industry,” stated Griffith. “All our freedoms, not just the right to earn a living making adult entertainment, are in grave jeopardy right now and no freedom-loving citizen can afford to sit out this election.”
Sites going offline for this one day campaign include:
http://www.cruisingforsex.com
http://www.cruisingforsexvideos.com
http://www.cruisingfordicks.com
http://www.cruisingforescorts.com
http://www.cfsporn.com
http://www.communalstall.com
http://www.adoptasexpig.com
CFS websites have been online for 10 years and while some sites are membership driven, the majority of the content is free and is advertiser supported. “We want to thank our advertisers for being supportive of our actions,” stated Griffith. “After all, site visitors will not see the usual banners that direct them to purchase various adult products.”

VIENNA, Austria (AP) - An Austrian businessman announced Thursday that he would get rid of urinals shaped like a woman’s mouth from a public toilet near Vienna’s national opera, after facing pressure from politicians who demanded their removal.
The urinals, which are located in the “Opera Toilet,” a lavishly decorated public restroom, feature thick, lipsticked lips, a set of teeth and a bright red tongue.
“We think that it’s tasteless, misogynistic and offensive,” Marianne Lackner, media spokeswoman for the Vienna Department of Women’s Affairs told The Associated Press.
The department, headed by Social Democrat Sonja Wehsely, said it was appealing to the owner’s good will, but was also exploring the possibility of legal action.
Monika Vana, the Green Party’s spokeswoman for women’s affairs, also denounced the toilets, telling the Austria Press Agency that they are “sexist and inappropriate.”
“The owner thinks the idea (of the urinal) is funny,” Lackner said, adding that it seemed he was not prepared for the hostile reactions.
Neuhold Gerhard, owner of the toilet’s operator Neuhold Gerhard Limited, said in an interview Thursday with Austrian public radio that he would remove the urinals.
“If there is such outrage in Austria then it’s not a problem,” he said. “We will remove them in the next 14 days.”
Gerhard added that he thought it odd that public interest has only now been focused on the urinals, as they have been around for three years.
The urinals first made a splash during recent campaigns for national elections, as they were the only facility available near Austria’s National Opera.
“The thing that surprises us the most,” Lackner said, “is that no man has ever said anything about this.”

HELSINKI (Reuters) - A fee of 25,500 euros ($32,000) is way too much for a woman to charge a man for fondling her bosom, a Finnish district court ruled.
The court jailed a couple in their twenties for more than a year for charging a 74-year-old who suffers from dementia a total of 25,500 euros to enjoy the woman’s breasts on 10 occasions. “Based on general life experience alone, it is indisputably clear that a 25,500 euro charge is disproportionate to the compensation in question,” Judge Hasse Hakki, who heard the case, told Reuters Friday.
But he said the court in Kokkola, about 300 miles north of Helsinki, would not decide “the proper financial value of the compensation.”
The retiree filed charges against the couple, who were convicted of extortionate overcharging, even though he told the court he paid the price willingly at the time.

SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) - Cell phones were found inside four prisoners in El Salvador’s maximum-security prison, authorities said Wednesday.
The discovery was made Tuesday at the prison in Zacatecoluca, in central El Salvador, after suspicious officials took X-rays of each of the inmates, federal corrections chief Jaime Villanova said.
The names of the prisoners, all members of the dangerous Mara Salvatrucha gang, were not released in order to avoid jeopardizing an ongoing investigation that began a month ago, he said.
Capt. Juan Ramon Arevalo, director of the prison known as Zacatras, said the gang members had introduced the cell phones, wrapped in plastic bags, into their bodies through their anuses. Authorities also found nine cell phone chips and one charger.
“Each one had a cellular with a number of chips,” Arevalo said, adding that one also had hidden a charger in his anal cavity.
The inmates allegedly used cell phones to direct criminal activities on the street from inside the prison, Arevalo said. The smuggled phones were found during an investigation at prisons throughout the country amid complaints from business owners of extortion by gang members.
Prisoners change phone chips frequently to avoid being traced, Arevalo said.
The police have doubled their security levels to combat the criminals.
