Seeking Volunteers

I’m repeating this in its complete form so you won’t think I’m making this up.  I am seeking volunteers to help me assist in this effort and you can contact me personally by sending your nude photos and internet dating profile to [email protected].  The thing that amazes me the most about this story is not that someone is doing the John and Yoko thing for this war, but that these rocket scientists are ancient and should know better.

(CBS/AP) SAN FRANCISCO Two peace activists have planned a massive anti-war demonstration for the first day of winter.
But they don’t want you marching in the streets. They’d much rather you just stay home. The Global Orgasm for Peace was conceived by Donna Sheehan, 76, and Paul Reffell, 55, whose immodest goal is for everyone in the world to have an orgasm Dec. 22 while focusing on world peace.
“The orgasm gives out an incredible feeling of peace during it and after it,” Reffell said Sunday. “Your mind is like a blank. It’s like a meditative state. And mass meditations have been shown to make a change.”
The couple are no strangers to sex and social activism. Sheehan, no relation to anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, brought together nearly 50 women in 2002 who stripped naked and spelled out the word “Peace.”
The stunt spawned a mini-movement called Baring Witness that led to similar unclothed demonstrations worldwide.
The couple have studied evolutionary psychology and believe that war is mainly an outgrowth of men trying to impress potential mates, a case of “my missile is bigger than your missile,” as Reffell put it.
By promoting what they hope to be a synchronized global orgasm, they hope to get people to channel their sexual energy into something more positive.
The couple said interest appears strong, with 26,000 hits a day to their Web site, www.globalorgasm.org.
“The dream is to have everyone in the world (take part),” Reffell said. “And if that means laying down your gun for a few minutes, then hey, all the better.”

    Questions “come” to mind:

    1) Are all guns to be fired simultaneously at a particular moment, or are participants allowed leeway as to time of detonation? Or does it have to regularly spaced, like the cannons in the 1812 Overture?

    2) If one happens to be partnerless on that day, is it permitted to “bop one’s own bishop” or “rough up one’s own suspect?”

    3) If you’re lazy but want to participate in the spirit of the thing, can you fake one?

    I’ll need a ruling on this, Yer Honor….
