Bra-Stuffing Lawsuit
Madison Square Garden must turn over notes and e-mails from an internal investigation in the case of a former New York Rangers cheerleader who claims she had to stuff her bra and at least one member of management was a sexual predator, a judge said.
U.S. District Judge Robert W. Sweet ordered the MSG to produce the documents to learn the merits of Courtney Prince's claim. But Sweet said MSG lawyers would not have to turn over materials aimed at building a defense against the claims.
He also said in the order that MSG must provide the judge with all internal claims or complaints of sex discrimination and sexual harassment filed between the dates of Jan. 1, 2002 and Dec. 31, 2004.
Prince, 29, the former captain of the New York Rangers' cheerleading squad, sued MSG in October 2004. Prince said she was fired on Jan. 22, 2004 after she warned fellow cheerleaders that at least one member of management was a sexual predator.
According to the lawsuit, MSG managers and supervisors took some of the dozen cheerleaders to bars and restaurants and bought alcohol for some underage cheerleaders.
Prince accused one member of management of trying to stick his tongue down her throat and asking her to have sex at a bar following a post-game party on Dec. 22, 2003.
She said MSG executives required the cheerleaders to stuff their bras and be sexually alluring.
MSG has said it believed "the allegations are unfounded."
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has recommended that MSG have its employees undergo sexual harassment discrimination training and pay Prince $800,000 in damages.

Lingerie-Clad Runners
Three hundred men and women wearing lingerie, bunny ears, cowboy hats and their best running shoes went bar hopping in Palm Springs.
 But the festivities weren’t made up of people who became blitzed and
got into someone’s wardrobe; they were all members of the Orange County Hash House Harriers. Every year, they come to Palm Springs and
jog or walk from bar to bar.
“We’re a group of people who have fun and don’t take things too seriously,” said a 31-year-old Orange County Property Management
worker.
The trek through downtown kicked off the Betty Ford XXI weekend. It continues thru the next day with a five-mile jog through Palm
Springs, with participants wearing traditional jogging gear.
“Our motto is ‘we are a drinking club with a running problem,’” said
a Corona resident, who walked with her husband.
The event, which happens several times a month around the region, is organized to promote physical fitness, to have fun, show senior
citizens they’re not as old as they feel, members said.
 Members are made up of people ages 19 to 76 years old. Walkers make
sure people under the age of 21 don’t drink, though, they said.
The fun kicked off at The Spurline at the corner of Indian Canyon Drive and Arenas Road.
One Los Angeles resident was walking by when she noticed the crowd. She thought she was outside a drag bar, and after talking to the
participants, she says she wants to join in on the fun next year.
“Anyone who wants to have this much fun running is someone we’d want
to hang out with,” she said.

I'm Tired of Working...
For a couple years now I've been blaming this feeling on lack of sleep and too much pressure from my job, but now I found out the real reason: I'm tired because I'm overworked.
The population of this country is 300 million. 167 million are retired. That leaves 133 million to do the work. There are 85 million in school, which leaves 48 million to do the work. Of this there are 29 million employed by the federal government, leaving 19 million to do the work. 2.8 million are in the Armed Forces, which leaves 16.2 million to do the work. Take from the total the 14,800,000 people who work for State and City Governments and that leaves 1.4 million to do the work.
At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals, leaving 1,212,000 to do the work. Now, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons. That leaves just two people to do the work. You and me. And you're sitting at your computer reading jokes.

Smarty Pants
Is that a prophylactic in your pants … or are you just pleased to see
me?
Dawn Dines says she could not have chosen a better time to launch her
latest collection in Sydney. The British social worker turned designer hopes to bring a bit of style to a safe-sex message in an
increasingly blasé environment.
Her Swanky or Spanky brand underwear, which made its debut at the Mr. Gay UK contest this year, offers a sewn-in pocket designed to hold a
condom.
Findings from a Sexual Health and Family Planning Australia survey showed that more than three-quarters of young women who had had
several partners in the past six months had admitted to having unprotected sex.

Alabama's Ban on Adult
Toys
Sherri Williams sells a little bit of everything at Pleasures romance
shop.
"There's everything from lacy lingerie to your bondage kit," said Williams.
But the state wants to keep her from doing it. That's why she's been fighting the law for almost a decade. And her lawsuit goes beyond
just toys.
"The real issue," said Williams' attorney Mike Fees, "that has been presented to the federal courts is to what extent is the government
going to dictate or intrude upon the private intimate lives of its people."
Fees says the law criminalizes any product that is designed or marketed as primarily for human genital organs. Violators could face
up to a year in prison and up to a $10,000 fine for the first offense.
According to Fees, it's a stiff punishment for such an elusive crime.
"There is great confusion in what is illegal and what is not illegal," said Fees. "Worse yet, a product in one box may be illegal
and yet packaged in another could be perfectly legal and available at Wal-Mart."
Sherri does not have to stop selling the sex toys just yet, and says she doesn't plan to, either.
"As long as there is a fight in me," said Williams, "and for as long as there is money in my pocket and I have people in this city and
this state that support me, I'll continue to fight this law."
For the past nine years, there has been a moratorium on the law. It allows Williams and other businesses to sell the products until the
lawsuit is settled.
Williams plans to appeal to the U.S. 11th Circuit Court and then take it to the U.S. Supreme Court if needed.

Lingerie Thief's
'Elf Defense'
A man accused of a stealing underwear from a shop in a knifepoint raid
believed he was a female elf at the time, Belfast Crown Court has heard.
Robert Boyd, 45, from Broadlands in Carrickfergus, is accused of holding up staff at the Orchid shop in Belfast disguised in a wig, hat and glasses.
He told the court he had been involved in a role-playing game at the time, and his character was an elf named Beho.
He denies robbery but says he may have blurred reality and fantasy.
He also said it "could be right" that Beho had intended to rob the shop - although he told the jury he could not remember what was going through his mind at the time.
He told defense counsel Anthony Cinnamond that within his small social
circle he had been participating in a game known as Shadowrun.
The game was set in the future and the assumed characters were criminals, he said.
He told the court his character was a shaman, or magical elf, who carried a small Japanese sword as a weapon.
Mr. Boyd, who said he visits a psychiatrist regularly, conceded that he "seemed to have blurred that line between reality and fantasy".
"I can't believe that I personally did that... and I deeply regret that.
Prosecutors claim that Mr. Boyd knew "perfectly well" what he was doing on the day of the robbery and was "using this memory loss scenario to avoid answering very difficult questions".
He is accused of stealing two sets of bras, knickers, suspender belts and stockings from the shop December 14, 2005.
