and what did YOU do on the global orgasm day?

In the ancient times nations used to stop wars during the Olympic Games. These days some people realise that sport is not enough, so they propose to use the positive energy of an orgasm to the same end - i.e. peace.

The first Global Orgasm Day took place on December 22, 2006. If you're Amélie Poulain, you probably know, exactly how many people are having an orgasm this very minute. And you will think: surely, there's so much positive energy flowing right now, what's the point of creating a positive outbreak three days before Christmas?

Well, the idea is simple: what we do every day, we do for pleasure. What we do on December 22, we do for peace. Think of it in John Lennon's words: 'Give peace a chance' and 'make love, not war'. And this is exactly the underlying idea of the Global Orgasm movement.

You can read more at the campaign's official website, www.globalorgasm.org. One thing I will say - why did they only use women's pictures? Isn't it sexist?

There are no actual figures on the number of orgasms, but there is the statistics of visits to the Global Orgasm page on December 22. So, the most peace-loving people live in Madrid - the whopping 5286. Moscow did well, too - 1366 (Gosh, I'm proud of my home city!). London managed 899, with no results (as it seems) for Manchester. But I heard people in England had left their Christmas shopping till the last minute in 2006, so that may be the reason for such poor performance.

Folks, this needs changing in 2007. Put December 22 in your diary as the Global Pea..., I mean, Love-Making Day.

For my part, I blogged about Art in Liverpool. I do love art, and I do love making art.

And in Moscow there was finally a premiere of Wolfhound, on December 22, too. The film's official site is currently working in Russian and English, but French and German versions are coming up soon. To go to the English page, click on the shield.

And this is the French audiotake on the global participation in the peace-making process. It highlights some things that people did on that day, like snorring or shooting. The audio file was featured in Libération Online. As a matter of fact, Paris did very well, too - 3448.
