University of New Hampshire's "Freshman Camp" Cancelled Over Counselor Nudity

Don't you just hate it when your camp counselors moon you or urinate on themselves during a skit? Yeah, me too, and so apparently does the University of New Hampshire which has unceremoniously dumped the Freshman Camp program after accusations of unwanted nudity. Here's more from Boston Herald:

A disciplinary report says the University of New Hampshire disbanded one of its oldest student organizations because counselors got naked in front of campers and mooned them as they left on a bus. The report says counselors got naked for campers during a skit and when they were departing on a bus. In the second incident, female counselors lifted their skirts for campers while several male counselors mooned campers. The report said other male counselors stood by naked, wearing only socks or hats. The report says one female counselor urinated on herself during a skit to cheers.

Ewe Gotta Be Kidding: Vet Students Pose Naked With Sheep for Charity Calendar

We have never envied farm animals . . . until now. Veterinarian students at Cambridge University in the United Kingdom are getting international attention as the latest naked calendar to raise money for charity. In at least one of the pictures the female vet students hold strategically places lambs to, uh, "protect their modesty." At right, one picture from the calendar.
Here's more from the Telegraph (click on link for full image):

Strategically placed lambs and rather unimpressed cows form an integral part of the set of 12 pictures, while four disgruntled sheep only just protect the blushes of four male students. In one image, a rather bemused looking black and white dog on a lead peers at the camera as he is surrounded by naked men perched on a trolley and topless female students holding open double doors.

The calendar is designed to raise money for the university's Queen's Veterinary School Hospital, which needs £2 million for key equipment. The Cancer Therapy Unit is in urgent need of expansion and the hospital wants to buy a radiotherapy machine, replacing the current one which is more than 30 years old.

Fiona Jacobs, who organised the shoot and posed for the calendar, said the models braved chilly temperatures as they held their risque poses. "As you'd no doubt guess from seeing the pictures from this year's calendar, we had a fantastic time making it, although it was pretty cold up on the farm I can tell you," she said. "We are all very happy to be involved in producing something fun and light-hearted, which could potentially help us raise a large amount of money for a very worthy cause."

France's First Babe, Carla Bruni, Unhappy With Naked Picture of Her on Shopping Bag - Pardon

How would you like a 15-year-old naked picture of you used as an advertisement on a give-away shopping bag? If you are Carla Bruni, the former model and current wife of French President Nicolas Sarkozy, you are likely unhappy with it and asking that your image be removed. That, unfortunately, is drawing even MORE attention to the bags being given away on the clothing maker Pardon, based in the French Indian Ocean island of Réunion. Here's more from New York Magazine:

Carla Bruni is suing clothing maker Pardon for putting her naked picture on a bag without her consent. The design includes a talk bubble coming out of her mouth that reads, "My guy should have bought Pardon!" (Still, not as brilliant as the line she wrote about rolling her guy up and smoking him.) The photograph was taken in 1993 and sold at auction for a staggering $91,000 in April. Carla was reportedly unhappy with it around that time, too, when a media frenzy ensued over the picture shortly before she made her first official First Lady visit to the U.K. to break crumpets with the Queen.

Carla's lawyer argues that she has "exclusive and absolute rights over her image" and calls the sale of the bag a "moral and matrimonial attack." Perish the thought her wedded bliss be threatened. Pardon argues the bags are okay because Carla's a public figure. Carla seeks 125,000 euros in damages, which she plans to give to charity if she wins. Ironically, this comes right on the heels of her husband's failed attempt to ban a voodoo doll with his image on it that came with twelve pins.
