Sex With Sheep and Robots

Two British oil workers were just having a little fun, simulating sex with sheep. The sheep were due to be slaughtered for a Muslim festival. (snicker) These men did nothing but SIMULATE sex with sheep and they were FIRED from their jobs.

... The animals were being killed for 30 foreign workers to celebrate Eid Al Adhha in the Algerian oil town Hassi Messaoud.

The men, who have not been named, were reported by stunned restaurant workers and guards — then sacked by their employer, US industrial giant Schlumberger.

They were accused of “sheep violation”.

A spokesman for the company — which provides services to oil firms — said: “The individuals have been dismissed because their behaviour was totally unacceptable.”

Meanwhile a police spokesman warned that local Muslims saw the sacrificing of sheep at Eid as “some- thing very sacred”.

One ex-pat living in Algeria told The Sun: “If you relate this to teacher Gillian Gibbons they can thank their lucky stars.

“All she did was name a teddy bear Mohammed.” (The Sun via Atlas Shrugs)

Perhaps you would prefer a robot for love:

If you're younger than 35, you'll probably live long enough to put David Levy's prediction to the test. Levy says that by 2050 we'll be creating robots so lifelike, so imbued with human-seeming intelligence and emotions, as to be nearly indistinguishable from real people. And we'll have sex with these robots. Some of us will even marry them. And it will all be good.

Levy lays out his vision of a Brave New Carnal World in Love and Sex With Robots: The Evolution of Human-Robot Relationships, which, despite its extended riffs on sex toys through the ages, is a snigger-free book. Levy's no Al Goldstein. Rather he's a 62-year-old British chess master turned artificial-intelligence expert persuaded that robot sex can brighten the lives of many, many unhappy people. "Great sex on tap for everyone, 24/7,'' he writes on the final page of the book. What's not to like? (continue reading at Chron.com)

Its very interesting article....

[MK]

It's a valid point Rosemary and Grouch is right about the Democrats wanting to give them voting rights, to for Democrat that is..

"...robot sex can brighten the lives of many, many unhappy people."

If that's all they're looking for, i guess it will.

[Rosemary]

What's the problem here? They screw sheep all the time. Did they expect these sheep to be virgins? How could they tell? ;)

Thanks for the great comments. I started not to post this, but then I love throwing in a weird post now and then.

Yes it was a slow news day, nothing but Iowa politics. I'm tired of it already. How is it that so few people (124,000 at the most), have such a great influence on who our next President is? Doesn't seem fair to me.

How about we revamp the election process?

On the sex and marriage with Robots ... Do the male robots do "chores" too? Handyman skills included? I'm just asking???

And just WHO programs these computers??? Think of the possibilities.

Having said that, no one could take hubby's place.

Trackback may not be working, I linked to you from: Banning Sex in the Workplace link: http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2008/01/banning_sex_in_the_workplace.html
Excerpt: Before we discuss office workers having sex in closets, stairwells, inside bathroom stalls, on top of copier machines (with the obligatory butt Xerox), under the bosses' desk, and other workplace locales let me tell you of a terrible, tragic and regrettable instance of my life.

So I ask my Muslim friend, "What's the difference between having sex with a sheep or sex with your wife?"

My friend says, "you don't have to whip the sheep to make it have sex with you."

It is an interesting story, kind of Blade Runnerish.

[Grouch at Right Truth]

Are these robots gonna be carbon neutral?

[Grouch at Right Truth]

You know that if the Democrat party is still around in 2050, they will want the robots registered to vote. They will also insist that they be programmed to only select the candidate with the "D" beside the name on the screen.

Of course the robots in south Florida will become confused and claim that a Republican induced malfunction caused them to vote for Pat Buchanan's great great nephew.

[David]

How about a robot ewe? Or would that just be a sheep imitation?

[Grouch at Right Truth]

Oh, on a date you could save a buttload of money on food at the restaurant. Just have the waitress plug it into the wall socket while you eat your steak.

[Grouch at Right Truth]

I guess there is some potential here. If you were married to the robot you could just turn it off if it started bitching and complaining.

Slow news day, Debbie?

Gross!
