Asian-American porn star seeks Nevada governor’s job

 Las Vegas – Mimi Miyagi, the Asian-American porn actress and star of such films as "Seoul Train" and "China Vagina", officially declared her candidacy to run for governor of Nevada earlier this month as a Republican.

Miyagi made her last porn movie, Happy Endings, in 2003, and has since moved on to low-budget mainstream productions, while continuing to work as a stripper and peddle Internet porn.

"I have nothing left to hide," she said when filing her papers for the November election. "My slogan is, 'I'm bare and honest at all times.'" The popular American political blog, Wonkette, has already endorsed the candidate, who is running under her real name, Melody Damayo. "Do we really need any more reason to endorse her? She's a fucking PORN STAR. Running for GOVERNOR OF NEVADA. As a REPUBLICAN. 'Nuff said," wrote Wonkette.

Playboy falls flat in Indonesia

Jakarta – If Hugh Hefner saw the sanitized photographs featured in the first edition of Playboy Indonesia, the octogenarian founder of the world's most famous skin magazine would probably need to reach for his Viagra to feel anything erotic.

In the centerfold, all evidence of Miss April's nipple and the pigmented skin surrounding it has been airbrushed out, her demure proportions and midriff concealed by a lacy powder blue slip and matching pair of sensible briefs.

But despite art directors' deft navigation of the strict obscenity and nudity clauses in Indonesia's pornography legislation, it is unlikely that a second edition of Playboy Indonesia will ever reach newsstands in the world's most populous Muslim nation.

Missouri Teacher Accused of Coming to School Drunk, Fondling Student

ST. LOUIS [AP] — A middle school teacher was arrested after police said he showed up at school drunk, asked one of his students to fetch cognac, then fondled a student and made a sexual remark to another.

The teacher, Sterling Johnson, was charged with misdemeanor assault and a misdemeanor count of disturbing the peace. The school system will seek to have him fired, said Creg Williams, superintendent of public schools in St. Louis.

Johnson, 55, is an industrial arts teacher at the Pruitt Military Academy, a magnet school in the district.

After arriving at school Monday morning, police said Johnson asked a student to retrieve a bag containing a bottle of cognac from his car. Police then said Johnson rubbed the buttocks and thigh of a 13-year-old girl and directed a sexual remark at another 13-year-old girl.

The principal ordered the teacher, who has been teaching for 22 years, to leave after becoming aware of his behavior, police said. Johnson complied but returned a short time later and was arrested. Williams said a hidden bottle of liquor was found in Johnson's classroom.

Arizona Gov. Signs Bill to Ban Bestiality

PHOENIX [AP] — Gov. Janet Napolitano on Wednesday signed into law a bill to again make bestiality a crime in Arizona.

The new law replaces a repealed one against the “infamous crime against nature.” That law was repealed in 2001 but was previously amended to exclude sex with an animal.

A legislative staff memo said the only current state law related to bestiality is a public indecency statute that prohibits certain human contact with animals. That crime is a misdemeanor unless the presence of a minor makes it a felony.

The new law, which takes effect 90 days after the end of the current legislative session, will make sexual intercourse with an animal and specified other sex acts a felony.

The bill (SB1160) was proposed after the March arrest of a Mesa deputy fire chief, Leroy Johnson.

Johnson, 52 at the time of his arrest, was accused of alleged bestial acts with his next-door neighbor’s lamb. He was booked on misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct, trespassing and public sexual indecency. He filed for retirement from the fire department after his arrest.
