Globalorgasms

Now this is certainly one of the best proposals I've heard of recently: a global orgasm day. The credit goes to Sorin Matei on pagini.com who drew my attention to this initiative today (and who also phrases it rightly: what is even more desirable is indeed -at least one (my emphasis)- orgasm per day).

Here's the event description taken from the globalorgasm site:

The Event
WHO? All Men and Women, you and everyone you know.
WHERE? Everywhere in the world, but especially in countries with weapons of mass destruction.
WHEN? Winter Solstice Day - Friday, December 22nd, at the time of your choosing, in the place of your choosing and with as much privacy as you choose.
WHY? To effect positive change in the energy field of the Earth through input of the largest possible surge of human energy a Synchronized Global Orgasm. There are two more US fleets heading for the Persian Gulf with anti-submarine equipment that can only be for use against Iran, so the time to change Earth’s energy is NOW!


To be honest my emphasis would be on the substance of the initiative per se: the orgasm (the "getting there" part is interesting as well, as I'm sure no one will deny). I clearly see this as an end in itself and not as mere means to anything else, albeit we talk about prevention of an eventual Iran-US war (on the side, that would only happen anyways if the leaders of these two nations involved will have not experienced the sublime pleasure for quite a while - frustration is a hazard at the very end of the day). In fact here's a quote from a great philosopher who totally supports my assertion on what should be everybody's end (also as end ad literam...):

The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A death. What’s that, a bonus?!? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you go live in an old age home. You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, then, when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day. You work forty years until you’re young enough to enjoy your retirement. You drink alcohol, you party, and you get ready for High School. You go to primary school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back, you spend your last 9 ,months floating with luxuries like central heating, spa, room service on tap, then you finish off as an orgasm!! Amen”
(George Constanza)

Update 23 nov: if you need to get high, sex is safest (from Greg Mankiw's blog). Now that science is unambiguous about that as well, what is there to dispute any more? And yes, not to forget: women are allowed to seduce men. That should be global legislation.
