Nude man photo in Helsinki museum, which upset Hindus, removed from website

The controversial photograph of a nude man with visible genitals on display at a renowned government run Helsinki (Finland) museum, which enraged the Hindus in various parts of the world, has been removed from website.

The exhibition website previously displayed 72 slides of art pieces while now it only shows 71. The photograph number 32, which agitating Hindus said denigrated their religion, titled “Hinduism: The Night of Pushkar 2”, is not there anymore. Instead, at 32 is another photo titled “Hinduism: The River”, which apparently shows a woman from backside standing in the water.

Acclaimed Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, who spearheaded the protest, has welcomed this gesture, calling it “a step in the right direction”.

In a statement in Nevada (USA) today, Zed, who is president of Universal Society of Hinduism, said that their protest, however, would continue till the apparently denigrating photograph was removed from the actual display in the Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art; till they were assured that it would not be displayed in Tampere, Turku and Vaasa cities in Finland where exhibition planned to travel in the near future; and till public apology was not rendered by Finland Education Minister Henna Virkkunen, Director General of the Finnish National Gallery Risto Ruohonen, Kiasma Director Brendt Arell, and award winning artist Marita Liulia.

Meanwhile, Hindus have also sought intervention from Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland, the majority church which claims over 80 percent of Finns as members, for removal of this controversial photograph, with Rajan Zed saying that it was the responsibility of the majority to protect its minority.

On another note, Finland Prime Minister’s office has forwarded the Hindu leaders’ request for removal of this “disrespectful” photograph from the exhibition to National Board of Antiquities of Finland “for further possible actions”.

Rajan Zed points out that Hindus are for freedom of expression as much as anybody else if not more. Hindu tradition encourages peaceful debates, won on their intellectual merit. But faith is something sacred and attempts at belittling it hurt the devotees.

Zed further said that continual showing of naked man, as an apparent representation of Hinduism and sacred city of Pushkar despite protests and requests was very disturbing to already upset Hindu populace of the world. This controversial photograph is on display till April 19 as part of Marita Liulia’s “Choosing My Religion” multimedia exhibition at Kiasma, in which her art pieces juxtapose Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Sikhism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Shinto, and Animism. Kiasma is a unit of Finnish National Gallery, a public body under Finland Ministry of Education.

Rajan Zed has described this photograph display as “very disrespectful, hurting and irreverent”.

Woman bites off beau's tongue during drunken kiss!

London, Mar 5 : It was certainly a case of an intoxicating intimate moment turning sour, when a woman bit off her boyfriend's tongue during a drunken kiss on his birthday, a court has heard.

A jury at Newcastle Crown Court was told that Tracy Davies deliberately bit down hard on Mark Coghill's tongue during the kiss and cut off the front third of the organ.

Davies and Coghill were in a relationship for nearly four months after they met through a lonely-hearts advertisement in a local newspaper.The incident happened when the couple was celebrating Coghill's 45th birthday on October 10 last year with a meal and drinks in his Newcastle bedsit.

While they were enjoying, Davies grew upset because she wanted to have a baby but was not pregnant.

Thus, Coghill moved to comfort her and she asked him to kiss her with his tongue. And when he did, she bit his tongue off.


"He sat and comforted her, that comforting moved on and it became amorous, he was cuddling and kissing her," The Mirror quoted Julian Smith, the prosecutor, as telling the jury.


She added: "She told him she loved him, she asked him to kiss her using his tongue. He did so and within a few seconds, she bit down hard on his tongue.

"Obviously this caused him pain, he pulled back, and the tongue had come clean off in her mouth. She had the piece of tongue in her mouth, he saw her take it from her mouth, and it fell to the floor."

Smith further told the court that Coghill went to rest while the pain subsided, and eventually fell asleep, but was woken by Davies biting his elbow,

Later, Davies called an ambulance to the flat, who in turn alerted the police, which on arrival was greeted by Davies holding the remains of Coghill's tongue in a plastic bag.Davies, 40, of Sunderland Road, Gateshead, is being charged on count of causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

Cat In Bong: Man Arrested For Smoking Bong With Cat Inside (VIDEO)

In one of this week's more bizarre stories, a Nebraska man was arrested for smoking marijuana out of a bong that had his cat stuffed inside. The man, who claims he was trying to calm down his hyperactive pet, faces animal cruelty charges but thankfully the cat, who was understandably disoriented, seems to be on the road to a full recovery:

"This cat was just dazed," Sgt. Andy Stebbing said. "She was on the front seat of the cop car, wrapped in a blanket, and never moved all the way to the humane society."
Schomaker told deputies 6-month-old Shadow was hyper and he was trying to calm her down. The contraption she had been stuffed inside was 12 inches by 6 inches. Shadow was timid but in good condition Monday at the Capital Humane Society, executive director Bob Downey said.

MSNBC's Tamron Hall covered the story and was unable to stifle her giggles as she introduced the "sad but true" story. The network evidently felt the story lacked a certain realism because they played the sound of gurgling water over the anchor's report. Anchor Contessa Brewer couldn't quite believe that the cat was stuffed inside the bong, but as Tamron informed her, "I understand you can make a bong out of anything." There were then more giggles all around.
