Sex Used To Sell...Hearing Aids?

Lux Alptraum — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 14:00:00 EDT

When we think of hearing aids, we're more likely to picture our ninety-year-old grandmother than a half-naked girl with full-on tattoo sleeves. But one company in New Zealand is trying to change that perception.

Is Widex targeting a younger audience? Are they trying to reach the seniors with sex? The jury is—sadly—still out on this one...but these ads are almost enough to make us wish want to lose our hearing. Well, these ads, plus sign language (we think it's really interesting).

NZ Truth Bids Topless Babes Adieu

Lux Alptraum — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 16:30:01 EDT

After twenty-five years, New Zealand weekly NZ Truth is saying goodbye to its Page 3 Girls. But don't cry too hard: topless girls will now be featured as centerfolds in the paper's magazine. (stuff.co.nz)

Forget table tennis. We've found a new sexy sport to obsess over: bikini snowboarding! The temperature might have to drop somewhat before the fun begins, but these girls are somehow managing to keep us warm already. (stuff.co.nz)

Dashiell Bennett — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 09:45:00 EDT

We have new details on the Boobs on Bikes brouhaha down in New Zealand. Turns out that it wasn't an anti-porn protestor who attacked Kayden Kross—just some drunk "idiot" who wanted to see her tits. (Don't worry—Kayden hits back.) We can sort of sympathize with that urge, but come on, Kiwis! Don't you get Penthouse down there? (avn.com + mikesouth.com)

Dashiell Bennett — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 09:38:05 EDT

Word on the street is that the poor pornstar who got slugged by an unruly jerk at the Boobs on Bikes parade was America's own Crush Object Kayden Kross. Thankfully, she's ok, but we are so not happy with New Zealand right now. See if we ever lend you our pornstars again! (mikesouth.com)

Jonnobot — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 13:50:54 EDT

We're glad to see that the annual Boobs On Bikes parade has once again returned to Auckland to help some of our Kiwi friends beat those winter blahs—despite yet another attempt this year by breast-despising meanies to stop it. We're wondering if the organizers have any plans to franchise the event here in North America, because we could totally use some cheering up around here too. Even if it's not winter yet.

Shockingly enough, it seems that some people just aren't fans of New Zealand's famed Boobs on Bikes Parade; in fact, members of one family advocacy organization are calling it indecent and a threat to families and children. And here we were thinking that everyone liked boobs! Guess things really are topsy-turvy down there. (odt.co.nz)

Lux Alptraum — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 11:18:51 EDT

Here in America, we have to pay to watch cable porn — but in New Zealand, they're just giving it away for free, mixed in with the rugby games. Some countries have all the luck. (news.bbc.co.uk; thumb via Ask Jolene)

Lisa Lewis Is An Escort (And Proud Of It)

Lux Alptraum — Mon, 19 May 2008 12:40:28 EDT

Over the years we've seen our fair share of outed call girls looking contrite, so it's a breath of fresh air to see an outed call girl actually standing up for herself and refusing to be shamed by the press. Naked newsreader and high end escort Lisa Lewis isn't apologizing for her choices—on the contrary, she says she's proud of what she does. As a single mother, she finds that escort work helps her earn the high income she needs to assure a good future for her son; and no, she doesn't think it makes her any less of a good mother. Quite frankly, we couldn't agree more. (Whether you still feel like spending $7000 plus airfare to New Zealand to see how good she is at her job is still up to you.)

Crushed out on New Zealand's first naked newsreader and famed bikini streaker Lisa Lewis? Good news: it seems her services are for hire. Of course, at $7000 a night (and whatever it costs you to get to New Zealand), Ms. Lewis doesn't come cheap—but we're sure you get what you pay for. (stuff.co.nz)

Lux Alptraum — Mon, 05 May 2008 11:00:25 EDT

The late night news is about to get a lot more interesting, at least in New Zealand: Lisa Lewis, who once gained fifteen minutes of fame by bikini-streaking through a rugby game, has been hired as the nation's first naked newscaster. From what we've seen, she'll definitely make those economic forecast reports a heck of a lot more interesting. (nzherald.co.nz + stuff.co.nz)

Dashiell Bennett — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 10:32:05 EDT

It seems that Australians and New Zealanders may be fighting over the rights to call Gale Chen one of their own. It turns out she's actually Malaysian, but you can understand why both sides would want to steal her. (ralphgirls.blogspot.com)

Truth In Advertising: Nailing For Dollars

Dashiell Bennett — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 11:01:22 EST

The last week of December is generally the time of year when networks break out their "funny commericals from around the world that you could never get away with in America" specials, because they make great filler material during otherwise dull holiday breaks. Much like this post you are currently reading. Why can't all advertisers be as honest as this one?

Speaking of New Zealand, nearly one-third of men there say they've been pressured into having sex they didn't want by aggressive female "predators." Especially during the Rugby World Cup. Can't they watch the big game without someone trying to fuck them? (stuff.co.nz)

A "professional" woman is sharing all the randy details of her seven-and-a-half hour (!) threeway sex romp with a member of New Zealand's All Blacks rugby team. Every detail except his name and the pictures she claimed to have taken, sadly, but it's still a gripping read. (stuff.co.nz)

Lux Nightmare — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 11:30:37 EDT

Ladies, are you feeling a little too libertine for your buttoned up, conservative country? Head down to New Zealand, where women have an average of 20.4 sexual partners (compared to a global average of 7.3). We'd like to say it has something to do with all those bikinis they're wearing, but that would necessitate another scientific study on our part. (stuff.co.nz; thumbnail via Sublime Bikinis)

New Zealand's "porn king"—and the mad genius behind the "Boobs on Bikes" parade—is running for mayor of Auckland. He's not going to win thankfully, because if that did happen who would organize the parades? (bloomberg.com)

Fleshbot — Tue, 31 Jul 2007 11:42:51 EDT

A recent study in New Zealand identifies vegansexuals as those who reject sex with meat eaters because their bodies are made up of dead things, much in the same way as certain liberals will reject having sex with Republicans. We know that kissing a smoker is like licking an ashtray, but we're not so sure the idea that orally pleasuring a carnivore is like tongue-fucking a graveyard will catch on. (stuff.co.nz)

Sublime Bikinis: New Zealand Cottage Industry Gone Wild

Fleshbot — Wed, 16 May 2007 15:47:48 EDT

Think that the guiding forces behind all micro bikini manufacturers are all dirty old men focused on cramming as many cubic inches of boobage into as few square centimeters of fabric as possible? Meet Flo Verlaner, a former exotic dancer from New Zealand who started Sublime Bikinis in 2003 and who is every bit as concerned with comfort as she is with quality control: "Dancers and strippers need bikinis and G-strings that will stand up to alot of wear and tear. The garments are often being taken off and put on again repeatedly all night, and stretched or pulled around. I like to make sure that my G-strings and bikinis are strong and well-made." Not having much experience taking off or putting on string bikinis ourselves, we can't vouch for her claims directly—but since we do happen to have plenty of experience ogling pictures of hot babes in barely-there swimsuits, we can wholeheartedly recommend browsing through Flo's inventory to see if any her styles work for you.
