Britons caught on camera as shots of cruise ship orgy shock Cyprus

[CHIMO]

An urgent inquiry was launched in Cyprus last night after an undercover police operation exposed a group of up to 100 tourists, including Britons, taking part in what was described a mass orgy aboard a cruise ship off the island.
The scenes, shown on local TV and described as "debauched", were broadcast after being caught on camera in the police sting. Arrests are expected in the coming days. "These scenes are not just graphic, they go beyond every conceivable limit," the island's deputy chief of police, Sotiris Haralambous, said. "We are talking about 50, 100 people involved in acts of total debauchery. It's hard to even describe."
The captain was being questioned last night about the trip, which was billed as a £30 night cruise with meal.

Must have been a good meal for 30 pound.

1. Was Jack Ryan there?

:kick:

[Toucano]

12. You are so quick!

You stole my first thought! :)

[Sagan]

2. I thought Europeans were less uptight..

A bunch of consenting adults. In a boat. In international waters. Having sex.

And it's some big case for Interpol or something? Jesus, how has the species managed to survive?

[Wednesdays]

13. It's possible that...

Could it be that this took place in full view of the public, in which case it might fall under "indecent exposure" laws?

But barring that, I agree with you...what the people did would be their own damn business.

[SquireJons]

25. You said it yourself.

How has the species survived?

"A bunch of consenting adults. In a boat. In international waters. Having sex."

... and other similar activities world wide. Fortunately, there are always more people having sex than there are people trying to stop it.

[PaDUer]

3. Where was pops

and his thugs? Bet they were on that cruise. Who else was MIA that we haven't heard from in awhile? Condi? Asscan? Who else?

[rumguy]

4. we live in tawdry and vulgar times

[rumguy]

5. What are the arresting people for?

I doubt orgies are against the law.

[oblivious]

6. How can you arrest people for having sex.

I hope it's the peeping toms that will be arrested. That's disgusting, taping people without their consent and then broadcasting it on TV. Perverts!

[PartyPooper]

7. This sounds like a Neil Bush kind of an affair.

Was he one of the culprits?

Inquiring DU'ers wanna know!

:evilgrin:

[leftistagitator]

8. Sounds like fun.

What could they possibly be arrested for?

[candy]

9. Things were so horrible that some media folks taped it?

If they didn't like what was going on why didn't they just leave?No one forced them to watch.

Much ado about nothing.

[henslee]

10. donde esta el video link ??t%$!!

Amusing and vague article.

[IndianaGreen]

24. Yea, where is the video?

How can we make a fair and balanced decision about this story without seeing the orgy ourselves? :evilgrin:

BTW, good point made by wndycty on whether Jack Ryan was there!

[aquart]

11. All consenting adults?

Was this an Ashcroft sting?

[Dogmudgeon]

14. Call me when someone gets hurt

People having an orgy isn't exactly the kind of thing that I'd put up there with torture, decapitation, or lying to the world to wage a war.

If somebody got hurt, that's bad news. Until then, it's all just good clean dirty fun.

15. "Beyond every conceivable limit"?

What does that mean? Were there 7 dwarves fucking a virgin while being pissed on by a priest?

[Guaranteed]

20. Psssh that's nothin

:P But yeah, I know what you mean. What limits?

[Bozita]

16. Sex on a cruise ship? ... What'll they think of next?

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.

[NashVegas]

17. Only 50 bucks? What a Steal!

18. Aboard the good ship SS Calligula

Blimey! Doesn't sound like proper English behaviour at all....Tut-tut.

34. I'll bet it wasn't just their upper lip that was stiff on that voyage. n/

[truthisfreedom]

22. next time, international waters.

[RebelOne]

28. They were on international waters. Read the story.

23. It's Noah! The end-times are here!

It's a boatload of good Christians who've been reading their Bibles
and following St.Paul's instructions!

[russian33]

26. damn Clinton!

[KansDem]

27. £30? That's only $54.62 American!

Pretty reasonable, if you ask me (or rather, I've been told that $54.62 is pretty reasonable for a night cruise, meal, and sex!)

hubba-hubba!

[msmcghee]

29. A classic way to attack people you don't like . .

. . is to criminalize activity that they enjoy - and that your group doesn't.

That's why we throw pot smokers in prison but sell tobacco and alcohol in millions of stores.

Christians abhor the idea that sex could be enjoyable so have managed to stigmatize or criminalize all sex that occurs outside the biblically permitted version - within a marriage and to procreate (make more Christians).

And the world just keeps on turnin'.

43. We should make praying illegal

Just for revenge........

[louis-t]

49. Conservatives hate themselves

they are disgusted with their own bodies.

[kittykitty]

30. What does "100% Brummie" mean?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

31. Purely from the City of Birmingham. Brum, see?

[GCP]

42. It's almost as if they were implying that being "Brummie" had some

horrible perverted connotation !!

I have relatives in Birmingham - they should feel insulted IMHO. :D

[Screaming Lord Byron]

47. Yup.

[slackmaster]

32. Let's see some damn pictures already!

This kind of story is useless without PHOTOS and VIDEO CLIPS!

:argh:

[neuvocat]

33. This normally wouldn't be an issue

if it weren't for the Olympics coming up (if I'm right, this is near Greece).

[xchrom]

35. damn! damn! damn!

and i wasn't there!
sigh.

[Nihil]

36. "There's no such thing as bad publicity"

> The scenes had blighted "the good image of Cyprus" and provoked
> "great shock," the island's minister of tourism and commerce

I predict that the the "great shock" will only last as long as it takes
for the travel agents to start publicising this type of cruise, at which
point it will magically transform into a regular source of income from
tourism.

They might clamp down on the drugs side of this (if it even exists) but
the idea of a hedonistic boat trip like this appears to be will go down
a storm with certain segments of the public.

(Bet there were similar articles in the local press when Club 18-30
started to take off.)

[Az]

37. Britons are supposed to have a stiff upper lip in public... not a

:evilgrin:

[Screaming Lord Byron]

39. stiff upper hip after all that exertion, I don't doubt.

[LeftistGorilla]

38. ALL YOU CAN EAT.....

[opihimoimoi]

40. Where is this Place? I wanna go too.

Damn, I always miss the fun.

[lanparty]

41. Good reputation of Cyprus!?!?!?!?!?

"But the Greek Cypriot government said yesterday it would not be deterred, particularly as drugs appear to have been consumed on the boat. The scenes had blighted "the good image of Cyprus""


Yeah, Cyprus is known as such a peace loving, docile place.

[spinbaby]

44. Brits? Having sex?

I don't believe it.

[duvinnie]

45. are they sure

it wasn't a floating prison?
(just checking :)

[gottaB]

46. Hedonism?

48. Where are the pics?

The Jeri Ryan reference is pretty funny but I think it was another toga party for Tyco crook kozlowski that got out of hand.
