My Kind of Protest: Soccer Players Dropping Drawers

Colleen Kane — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 22:02:00 GMT

Although I hate sports, I got into the European football matches during their championship matches last summer while traveling abroad. It didn't hurt that a lot of the players were easy on the eyes and constantly showing a little well-toned leg.

In the case of the Spanish soccer team El Galactico Pegoso, they're not afraid to show a little more leg and Speedo-size underwear, either. As you'll see in this local news coverage of the incident, the team dropped trou as a protest* for not getting paid.

This lineup isn't quite as fetching as some from last summer, but you get the idea.

*This protest style would not have looked quite as good if it were used for last winter's writer's strike.

Photos: Nude Animal Rights Protesters from Spain (Who Don't Seem to Be Making a Difference)

Scanner Matt — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 16:50:00 GMT

Now we're all for loving animals (just look at Scanner Verena's dog and elephant BFF post below) and we're all for stylish public displays of nudity, but we don't think anyone's going to stop the circus ("No Mas Circos Con Animales") like this.

Thundercats!

We actually came across our old Le Tigre t-shirt the other day.

Not sure what animals these people are supposed to be... (probably bulls, but no horns?)

Drama!

Italians!

And then there's the previously posted naked caged animal protesters of Louisiana if you're still not convinced the circus is evil.

While You Were Sleeping: What Men Think Women Think Men Want

Brian Fairbanks — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 14:08:00 GMT

Shots were fired at the motorcades of the Presidents of Georgia and Poland, although no one was hit.

A drag queen hosted a Miss Texas pageant, to the obvious horror of parents.

A boy in Florida was arrested for something heinous. No, we mean the reason he was arrested was heinous. Oh, never mind, you'll see:

Maybe the 13-year-old student at Martin County's Spectrum Junior/Senior High thought he was being funny by repeatedly and purposely passing gas during computer class.
His teacher, D.C. Carden, didn't bust a gut over the boy's breaking wind - not to mention his continuous turning off classroom computers - so he gave the boy a referral and sent him packing to the school resource officer for a little talk. "He subsequently informed me it was factual, and I informed him as a result of his behavior he was being charged with Disruption of a School Function,"

The boy was arrested for farting. He was released to his mom. No word on what he did in the car on the way home. [Blogs.Tampabay.com]

A teacher denied an inappropriate relationship with a young girl... until the girl was found in his closet. Whoops.

Hate crime is on the rise in Utah, down everywhere else.

A town near Barcelona is using solar panels atop gravestones to power itself.

They finally caught the Butt Bandit we warned you about.

11 Things He Wants From You, according to a male writer at MSN.

Boris Becker was dumped by text message. The woman in question was his fiancee.

And Madonna wants Britney Spears to move into her place... as some sort of ploy to get her back into Kabbalah... or something.

Everyone in this British man's Spanish town was arrested on corruption charges, so now he's the mayor. A bad Jim Carrey movie is already in the works, we're sure.

This is either the grossest or funniest thing in ages, we can't decide.

The latest nonsense rumor about Led Zeppelin...

Chris Cornell addressed rumors he'd tour with Led Zeppelin: "I have not been approached to fill in for Robert Plant on the upcoming Zeppelin tour, but that isn't to say I won't be."

There's nothing else to do there, so Saudi Arabia held a sheep beauty pageant.

Is Kathleen Edwards filing for divorce?

Why would anyone give Joe the Plumber a book deal? This guy will be a footnote on November 5th, no matter who wins.

Nikki Taylor got knocked up. In other news, Nikki Taylor is still considered newsworthy.

Sarah Palin needs to stay away from sports fans, for the last time. Especially Pennsylvanian sports fans.

Our favorite sign of the week.

Naked Women of Curling... 2008!

Brian Fairbanks — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 18:26:00 GMT

Can you believe it's been three years since photographer Ana Arce founded the Women of Curling calendar and caused millions around the world to sit up and exclaim, "Wait, what the hell is curling again?"

Now Arce is back, with what, based on these exclusive snaps, promises to be her best year ever...

First, we present you the photographer herself, who is a Spanish curler and may have been our Crush of the Week if that alleged hacker hadn't stolen Scanner Emily's heart...

...followed by a few favorites from the past and present calendars...

On the safe for work end, we particularly enjoy this mermaid... and less sfw, this tree dweller.

You can check out all of the models at Arce's page announcing the calendar. Her press release states that the 2009 fundraiser edition, entitled Fire On Ice, is available now via Curling News... and, best of all, it's a whopping 36 months long...

All photos by Ana Arce.

Artist's Penis Commits World's Largest Indecent Exposure

Brian Fairbanks — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 14:30:00 GMT

Unfortunately for lovers of the penis, the actual artifact is not the largest penis ever publicly exposed: it's the size of the penis once it becomes the subject of Jaime del Val's Madrid artwork...

Your old-fashioned flasher usually hides away in shady parks wearing a dirty old raincoat but a Spanish 'artist' has no such shame - he projects his penis on buildings.

Jaime del Val wanders the streets of Madrid naked but for camera equipment attached to his genitals.

He shows off his penis because he says it's a "means of power".
He has staged his "performance" in front of Almudena Cathedral and at the Royal Palace in Madrid.

Here's a website with some of Jamie de Val's work, none of it nude, from what we could see. Meanwhile, as David Niven might say, "Isn't it fascinating to think, that probably the only laugh that man will ever get in his life, is by stripping off and showing his shortcomings!"

Heads up! Money shot approaching...

Via Metro. If anyone has a picture of the artwork in action, we'd love to add it to this post. For now, these pics will do...

Spanish "Calendar Girls" Losing Their Shirts

Bryan Christian — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 14:01:00 GMT

We know what you're thinking: Is there anything that you, the Scanner Army, can do to help the women and mothers of the Spanish hamlet of Serradilla del Arroyo, who attempted to recreate the success of England's Calendar Girls with their own good-natured softcore charity calendars -- but have instead wound up thousands of dollars in debt? Maybe. How do you say "Get a website, ladies!" in Spanish?

On Our To-Do List: Javier Bardem

Katie Halper — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 18:30:00 GMT

Nothing is sexier than uncertainty and the unknown. Which certainly explains why Oscar-winner Javier Bardem (or Javi, as we like to call him), who is overflowing with contradictions and pulsing with unpredictability, is so sexy. With his tender eyes and broken nose, he's both a lover and a fighter. The former rugby player is an anti-war peacenik. The Jamón, jamón star is shy and no ham at all. Javi comes from a long legacy of acting and filmmaking, but he wants you to call him a worker, not an actor. He is dating Penélope Cruz, but took his mother Pilar as his date to the Oscars, proving he's a total mama's boy. But his films like Live Flesh, Between Your Legs, Ectasy, Boca a boca, and Bilingual Lover prove that he's a bad boy too. He clearly loves women but after Spain legalized gay marriage said if he were gay he would get married "tomorrow just to f*&% with the Church."

His tastes range as much as his moods: sometimes he likes Cuban men, other times he likes older Spanish women and sometimes he's into feisty Puerto Rican girls. He goes from suicidal to resilient to homicidal. Because he's so unpredictable, there is one thing we don't need a crystal ball to tell us: Javi is-- and always will be-- on our To-Do List.
