Is ballooning going mainstream? Lots of people have been sending us this link to videos of people who like to climb inside balloons and do ... well, they just sort of hang out. Or maybe blow up other balloons! These particular clips probably weren't meant to be erotic, but we've long been aware of the sexual possibilities of steaming hot plastic air balls. It's also how we discovered Mausi, a German woman who seems to be building a non-nude, but sexually suggestive internet balloon empire all to herself. What does it all mean for society and the future of human development? If you're looking for the answer here ... don't hold your breath.
