Organisers of the Berlin Love Parade announced this week that they're
seeking a new location 'in Germany or Europe' to stage an event this
summer and blasted local authorities for failing to grant them a permit.

"We have on several occasions attempted to get the City of Berlin to
grant us written approval and repeatedly postponed the press conference
for this reason. But now time is running out and we cannot wait any
longer!" Rainer Schaller, boss of the company behind the event, wrote on
his official website.

"Because we nevertheless want to organize a Loveparade for this year,
we have taken the decision to seek out a new partner city in Germany or
Europe. As of this moment cities interested in hosting the event can
get in contact with us."

However, Berlin city spokesperson Petra Roland said it was 'common
practice not to issue a written permit till three weeks before the event'
(expatica.com) and added that the only outstanding issue had been over
the placing of temporary traffic signs.

Reuters pointed out that last year's event attracted just 500,000
revellers compared to the 1.5 million who packed Berlin in 1999 though added
'in a city with close to 20 percent unemployment, festivals with the
attraction power of the Love Parade provide a welcome boon to hotels,
restaurants and clubs.'

Berlin's high unemployment rate was also singled out in Mixmag this
week, in an article about British producer Jesse Rose's apparently
effortless recent rise to the top of Berlin's clubland tree.

"In dance music it seems, everyone wants to move to Berlin, the world's
current capital of underground music," Mixmag declared, "But in Berlin
not everyone makes it. Unemployment rates of 20% means unless you've
got an angle or a trust fund, you're going to be on the plane home to
Blighty (England) in no time."

Battle Of The Sexes Turns Nasty

A Chilean woman was languishing in prison this week facing charges of
GHB after she reportedly tried to bite off her husband's manhood in a
fit of jealous rage.

The unnamed victim escaped serious injury in the attack and is
recovering after minor surgery, Chilean newspaper Austral Osorno reported,
while his wife helps police with their enquiries.

"The wife said that this was the only way to teach her husband a
lesson," a police spokesperson told the paper, "She said it was a proof of
love and is sure the husband will understand and forgive her."

In more relationship news, Japanese Playboy reported this week that
Love Motels throughout the country are reporting that increasing numbers
of 20-something men are refusing to engage in oral sex on their
girlfriends because of either ignorance, anxiety or outright distaste.

"All the hair gets caught between your teeth," one 27-year-old
illustrator told the magazine, "And I don't do anything down there with my
fingers, either, because they end up smelling," he complained.

Meanwhile in Alabama, judges upheld an appeal banning sex toys in the
US state, some eight years after the ACLU first tried to decriminalize
vibrators.


The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decided 'the state's interest in
preserving and promoting public morality provides a rational basis for
the challenged statute," the Montgomery Advertiser reported.

Swiss Cows Ordered To Keep Off The Grass

Swiss dairy farmers who've been feeding their cattle cannabis hemp were
warned they face prosecution this week, after authorities claimed THC
in the hemp could be trickling into milk and posing health risks for
consumers eating dairy products including Swiss cheese.

The announcement came several months after authorities in neighbouring
statelet Lichtenstein issued a similar ban, prompting anger amongst
both dairy farmers and hemp producers who said the dope food improved
productivity dramatically.

"Many of the cows are stressed nowadays. If they eat hemp, they calm
down. Now, a milk cow which is calm produces better milk. That is a
fact," Lichtenstein farmer Jean-Pierre Egger told the BBC.

"The only thing which gets high is the quality of milk and the quality
and general health of the cow. That's how high the cows are feeling,"
Mr Egger added.

The story emerged as Australian newspaper The Telegraph reported on a
new survey showing one in three under 30s consider smoking puff
'unacceptable . . . viewing marijuana as dangerous, addictive and a gateway to
harder drugs.'

In the same article, the paper, without irony, also pointed out that
more non-cannabis users than ever are turning to harder drugs including
methamphetamine, alcohol, GHB and ecstasy with fewer and fewer people
believing media 'facts'.

"After an ecstasy death there are normally claims in the media about
how dangerous the drug is," said Paul Dillon from Australia's National
Drug and Alcohol Research Centre.

"Young people think 'that's not my impression of the drug' so they
throw the baby out with the bathwater and close their ears to any warning
they hear after that," he said.

The Times raised the same issue last December when the British
newspaper spoke of 'thousands of respectable members of the community in their
late thirties and early forties — doctors, teachers, bankers,
lawyers' dropping ecstasy to celebrate Christmas. The paper suggested the
respectable revellers also made their own minds up after being equally
disillusioned by 'exaggerated scare stories'

"It's media misinformation and it's been very much influenced by the
whole political approach of saying no to drugs, which doesn't work,"
Professor Curran from University College London told the Times.

"Drug use is almost normative nowadays in the 18-30 age group," she
added, "Most will take the drugs for a while and come through at the end
and have no problems. They are a completely different population to drug
addicts."
