Porn is all over the place these days. Every nook, cranny and nation, it seems, has its own little quirky stories.

Here is a list of 10 weird porn-related headlines from around the world: ---

Italian director plans 3D porn film

This is long overdue: 3D porn. Apparently the guy who directed "Caligula" wants to make one of these films. 

But even if he doesn't, I've seen some rumors around the Internet that others plan to do it, too. Should be interesting. My only question is: Who will play Long Duk Dong?

Australia considers banning small boobs in porn

Why oh why oh why? I can't figure out what Australia has against small boobs. They say this ban would be for the children. Apparently, small-breasted women of all ages appeal to the pedophile inside us all. I'm sure the Hooters girls will be happy to hear this.

Moscow porn snarls traffic

Some genius thought it would be fun to jam up traffic by displaying porn on a Jumbotron. It was fun, just not for the distracted drivers.

Canadian magazine's beaver buried by porn filters

Porn filters are funny things. They don't know the difference between good beavers and bad beavers. An old, established Canadian magazine learned that the hard way when it discovered its name consistently triggered these pesky filters. The Beaver reportedly plans to change its name to Canada's History. Oh Canada!

I wonder if Bucky the Beaver has had the same problem?

Detroit porn star lies about infecting 500 men with AIDS

This is one of those weird porn stories that is definitely sadder than it is funny. Why would this woman claim to have infected people with AIDS? What a sick and twisted world we live in.

New Zealanders prefer online porn to pirated movies

Apparently somebody did a survey of 1,000 New Zealand residents asking them whether it is more morally acceptable to watch porn online or download pirated movies. Almost half of respondents said watching porn is hunky-dory. It's good to see people with priorities.

China makes moms watch porn

What's the price of tea in China? Who cares? This Communist country now encourages moms to watch more porn.

They say it's for the children. The real goal is supposedly to get moms to police the Internet. But somehow this just doesn't seem right. Would you really want your mom watching porn?

Japan Jump-Starts a New Trend: Old-Folks Porn

Yet another reason to love Japan. It's engaging new audiences by turning old fogies into porn stars.

The little Asian island has produced such fascinating adult features as Forbidden Elderly Care and Sex Adventures With Dentures. OK, maybe I made that last one up.

British government site prompts kids to Google gay porn

UK government site Directgov put a banner on its children section for Buster's World, which is the name of a gay porn site. And kids started to do what kids these days do: they Googled it.

Obviously, this wasn't an intentional move on the part of Directgov, but OMG still!

Utah Leads Nation in Online Porn Viewing

Wha???? Mormons watch porn????

The only thing surprising about this headline was that it took a Harvard professor to figure this out. Why wasn't BYU on top of this? Let me guess, no budget. Watch this video story posted on Daily Kos.

What's the weirdest porn story you've ever heard? Leave your responses in the comments.

"The truth is ugly so we put our prophets in prison." Charles Manson

Maybe that's why Bible study is so popular in the joint, eh?

Here is a list of 10 religious leaders (some may even call them prophets) who did time behind bars: ---

Share

10. Joseph Smith

According to the LDS Church, "Joseph Smith was unjustly confined in Liberty Jail from December 1838 to April 1839."

Apparently, Missouri didn't take too kindly to Mormons back then. Whatever the real reason for his imprisonment, the Mormon church's first prophet did time in the slammer. In fact, Joseph Smith was later killed inside the Carthage Jail.

9. Warren Jeffs

Polygamist leader Warren Jeffs was sentenced to at least 10 years in prison after being convicted of being an accomplice to rape.

It's too bad more of these prophets can't see their criminal charges coming. With as much as they talk to God, you'd think that would be part of the program.

But then again, maybe Jeffs DID see his arrest coming. He was apparently partying it up in Las Vegas just before he got caught. Nice, Warren, nice.

8. Jim Bakker

Famous televangelist Jim Bakker was convicted of 24 counts of mail and wire fraud in 1989.

He somehow emerged from prison just a few years later almost acting like he had done nothing wrong. At least he had time to read up on his Bible verses while he was in the can.

If you want to avoid being duped in the future, here's a fun eHow article on How to Spot a Fraudulent Televangelist.

7. Matthew Hale

White supremacist church leader Matthew Hale was sentenced to 40 years in prison for trying to have a federal judge killed.

The best part of this story is that during his sentencing hearing he recited the Star-Spangled Banner. Ahhh, a man who loves his God AND his country. How could somebody like this ever end up in prison?

6. Charles Manson

Mr. Helter Skelter orchestrated some of the grisliest murders in our nation's memory.

That's what happens when a wackaloon gains control of a cult. If anyone ever truly personified evil, Charlie deserves that honor.

5. Sun Myung Moon

Founder of the Unification Church, Sun Myung Moon was imprisoned for a year after being convicted of tax evasion in 1982.

Just another man of God who is really good at getting people to give him money.

4. Jacques Robidoux

Jacques Robidoux is one of the most baffling cases of religious fanaticism that has ever landed a "prophet" in prison. As a leader of a Massachusetts cult called "The Body," Robidoux let his own son die because he believed he was being tested by God. Or Satan. Or whatever.

This sad, sad headline from boston.com says it all:

Religious sect member convicted of murder in starvation of son

3. Tony Alamo

This freaky-deaky dude was convicted of sexual abuse of children. He was reportedly a strong supporter of polygamy and of the FLDS Church formerly led by Warren Jeffs. So, it's really no surprise that they both ended up behind bars.

2. Henry Lyons

Henry Lyons, former president of the National Baptist Convention, was sent to prison for stealing millions.

Later, as a free man, he tried to regain control of the convention and even filed a lawsuit against it.

Hallelujah!

1. Howard Douglas Porter

Friends sometimes kill friends if enough cash is at stake. Just because your friend happens to be a preacher, really doesn't mean much.

At least not after you read this bizarre tale about Howard Douglas Porter: Preacher Found Guilty Of Murdering Rancher

"You know, a long time ago being crazy meant something. Now everybody's crazy."

Because we began with a quote from the prophetic Mr. Manson, it seemed appropriate to end with one, too.

You stare at your cards: Ace-Queen of Hearts. ---

The blinds are $2 and $5.

You call $5.

A fat, old man in a black cowboy hat raises to $25.

The next player bumps it up to $125.

Everybody else folds to you. You have $500 in chips.

Now what in the world do you do?

How do you play Ace-Queen suited?

Simple. You move all in.

The fat guy in the hat will fold.

The $125 bettor will probably call.

If you hit your Ace, you win a nice pot. If you miss your Ace, well, you just lost 500 bucks. Unless you're Asian, and then, of course, you'll miraculously make a flush on the river.

But, no matter.  You're rich. And you can always buy more chips, right?
