While Jonno's out and about getting his Valentine on (or off, depending how you see it), Fleshbot will be getting a very special Valentine's Day spanking from yours truly. It's a loving punishment that lasts through wednesday, so I've assembled the necessary paddles, crops and canes to last the next 48 hours (and yes, the interns are nervous). Check out Coop's paintblogging; sex toy bus advertising showdowns; the Wall Street Journal finds out about 2257; and China's new "AIDS restaurants" after the jump. V. Blue

· Coop finished paintblogging his latest big-tittied creation, but is the world ready for huge orange boobs the size of triple-load washing machines? We hope so. See for yourself. (positiveapeindex.blogspot.com)

· Women-owned sex toy retailer Good Vibes put together the blandest ad campaign for sex toys in the world for one good reason: their complete domination of all Bay Area buses, which was successful until prissy Santa Clara County got its (probably unsexy) panties in a bunch and forced the ads to be removed.

· The Wall Street Journal gives up a little bandwidth to cover the 2257 debacle in Monday's article that tells us a lot of stuff we already knew while glazing over some of the more serious issues at stake (like it's not just aimed at porn, folks), and gives the weakest nod ever to the Tribe.net 2257 censorship controversy. (WSJ Online)

· Oh China; you jail writers while being the biggest manufacturer of sex toys in the world; now Shanghai is home to an "AIDS restaurant" where patrons are discreetly encouraged to practice safer sex as part of their dining experience. Still, "Condoms and Cabbages" conjures up a fascinating mental image, at the very least. (Asian Sex Gazette)
