Couple fined for sex during concert
2004-07-08
A COUPLE fined for copulating on stage as 4000 fans applauded and The Cumshots played on at a Norwegian rock festival have said they won’t pay. "No, that fine is ridiculous. There’ll be no fine here, there’ll be a legal process and the whole shebang," Tommy Hol Ellingsen told TV2 television on its online news site.
They give you a choice about paying fines in Norway?
Ellingsen, 28, and his 21-year-old girlfriend Leona Johansson were called up on stage during The Cumshots concert by the lead singer, where they had sex for almost 10 minutes as the crowd cheered and the band played on. Police later fined them 10,000 kroner ($2031) each. The on-stage sex at the Quart music festival in the southern city of Kristiansand made it to the top of the country’s news headlines. But it was later discovered to be a pre-arranged public relations gimmick to raise money for the couple’s environmental group, called F--- for Forest, which raises money for organizations working to protect the rain forest.
That worked well...
Among other things, the couple have launched a pornographic website where visitors to the site can pay $20 a month to view videos of them making love.
That's an original idea. There aren't any other sites like that are there?
Organizers of the Quart festival had forced a Korean artist who planned to film couples having sex inside a tent on the festival grounds to cancel the shoot at the last minute, media reports said. Having sex in public is illegal in Norway and carries a maximum sentence of a year in prison. The five Cumshots band members were also fined 10,000 kroner each. Organisers of the festival have meanwhile said they were disappointed that the sex stunt had overshadowed the music.
What the hell did they think was gonna happen?

I'm actually surprised at all this carnal activity in Norway. I was there on business, back in the Paleolithic age. There's a high per-capita incidence of lovely women in Oslo and Vadso, and presumably in between as well. Yet there I was, giving myself whiplash while my Norwegian colleagues continued solemnly discussing networks and databases and other such things. I eventually came to the conclusion they imported little Norwegians from Sweden or Lappland or somewhere.

#8  Well, what do you expect from a group called the Cumshots?

“How far are you willing to go to save the world? asked the young man, and without much ado, the couple pulled off their clothes. A banner was raised on stage informing the audience that the couple was having sex to save the rainforest. And that, ladies and gentlemen, was the only reason they did it!

"Cumshots provided the background music as the couple had intercourse right in front of the audience." (That was nice of them, huh . . . ) "They have sex in public in order to put focus on the rainforest.” Hmm. I wonder how may kids went home thinking about the Rainforest that night. Sounds like an excuse for bands to make money and draw crowds. Follow the money.

"The young couple, Tommy Hol Ellingsen, age 28, and Leona Johansson, age 21, are members of the environmental organization Fuck for Forest . . .Today’s environmentalists have become more politicians (guess they were following Clinton/Kerry's lead) than idealists, Ellingsen said to TV 2 Nettavisen. We want to bring forth the message with attitude. . . . We believe it is possible to use people’s need for sexuality as a way to raise money for nature.” ("And besides, I like fucking my girlfriend in front of everybody. Makes me feel like a real man.")

"Last time Ellingsen and Johansson had public sex, they managed to collect USD $14,677, but nobody wanted to take the money. And since they couldn’t give it away, they decided to keep it--after giving Cumshots their cut.

“The goal is to take over the entire commercial porn industry and transfer all the money to protection of the environment,” Ellingsen explained. And I’m sure the entire commercial porn industry will agree and cooperate . . .

"However, the Rainforest Foundation Norway is not thrilled by the way the small organization has chosen to raise money . . . I can not see that this helps the work for the rainforest, said Lars Løvold, head of the Rainforest Foundation Norway, to TV 2 Nettavisen. “Generally speaking, we accept donations, but if the money is coming from illegal activity, from someone who abuse the rainforest or wish to abuse our name, we say no thank-you. This may be the case here.” Ya think?

Somebody on the LLL will no doubt get the idea to "Fuck for Kerry/Edwards."
