Even though I love to talk about American politics until I grow blue in the face, I find myself wondering why there are never any posts about ANYTHING else that goes on in the world. Are we (America) REALLY the only interesting or debatable place on the planet? Are we the only country that has anything newsworthy going on?

I was about to say yes we are the only one..until I came across this lil gem. Enjoy

Having Sex Until the Cows Come Home

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - What's a big cud-chewing Scottish cow have to do with preserving public decency?

According to the mayor of a small Dutch town, allowing Highland heifers to graze in a nearby nature reserve will help deter couples who have scandalized the upright citizens of Spaarnwoude with their open-air sex antics.

Mayor Ellen van Hoogdalem-Arkema said the brazen behavior of amorous outdoor enthusiasts has angered and embarrassed people walking their dogs in the reserve or taking their grandchildren for a stroll.

"Visitors experience great annoyance from people having sex in public and apparently the presence of the cows turns the people off having sex," the mayor said.

The idea of using cows to cool passions in the park originated from another nature reserve south of Amsterdam, which saw an unexpectedly serendipitous reduction in sex prowlers after allowing the cows to graze in its fields.

Van Hoogdalem-Arkema said that the reserve's status as public land made problem tricky to solve and urgent.

"I just got off the phone with a man who was cycling in the area with his children, when suddenly two naked men came running across the road." she added with a sigh.

I was walking in Glasgow a few years ago and saw a couple of teenagers leaning up against a building. At first I thought they were just kissing passionately but as I walked past I saw the guy had his hand down the front of the girl's pants and was working away. I never saw anything like that when I was growing up in Los Angeles (at least, not in an area that wasn't known for having a high volume of prostitutes - but then again, everyone usually did that stuff in a car if they didn't have a place of their own).

Just my anecdotal little data point

The city I live in has recently had a similar problem. Only instead of a park it was the window ledges of the new library. And instead of cows it was iron bars.

I like the cow idea better (although they might be a bit out of place in a downtown area).

Well, the U.S. is the centre of the universe after all...

Not to mention on window ledges.
