It's all about sex....eventually

So Putu has had a number of adventures in the last few days, managing to go from Tibet to a cruise on the Brahmaputra to a quick hike in New Hampshire, where Putu dislocated a kneecap and demands that readers express their sympathy. But Putu is back and talking about sex, which given the deplorable state of the feline species in Tibet, Assam and New Hampshire, Putu hasn't had much of. But there's sex in the air...and you can get it for just $4. Ok, ok, not really, but you can get a copy of the new Marquez book that should be out soon for that price on the streets of Colombia. The book is about a man who remembers all the women in his life as he makes love for the last time.

And clearly, sex sells as well. Not just sells, but brings with it awards and moolah too. Elfriede Jelinek who's just won the 2004 Nobel Prize for Literature. Known for her books that explore the women's sexuality in often explicit detail, some would argue that Jelinek is a controversial choice. Her own website though, is a bit strange...what's with the Bambi figure, mate? Isn't that kind of perverted...or is just me....?

And finally puppet sex has hit Hollywood and the censors are not pleased. South Park's creators have just released their controversial anti-terrorism spoof Team America: World Police. The creators of the movie had a few harsh words to say about the attempts to censor the scenes showing simulated sex between two puppets. Producer Scott Rudin told the media: "our characters are made of wood and have no genitalia. If the puppets did to each other what we show them doing, all they'd get is splinters." while one of the director Trey Parker said "We blow Janeane Garofalo's head clean off, [but for the MPAA] it's all about the positions of the dolls having sex," Parker said. "It's not funny - it's tragic."
