DANCE WITH THE NAKED ALIENS
http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/news/11047154.htm
Let us now paraphrase the Gospel of Rael: An immortal race of alien hotties
created the first humans in a laboratory 22,000 years ago. The aliens check
in on us every Sunday, around 11 a.m.
Ten cloned babies burble happily in secret locations around the planet,
hunted by extremist Catholic factions.
Eight thousand four hundred ex-earthlings -- including Buddha, Mohammed and
a clone of the half-alien Jesus  live on the aliens' planet, attended by hot
alien pleasure robots. The Buddha is still chunky. Nobody said fat but the
aliens aren't starving him, if you savvy.
Now we turn to the Press Release of Rael, which arrived by e-mail a week
ago:
''Celebrate the First Femininity Day ever, as Raelians across the USA
present a fully nude choreographed street performance to emphasize the
crucial importance of Femininity. In Miami, the location will be on Lincoln
Road on March 6th at 2 p.m., starting at Washington Avenue and continuing to
Alton Road.''
Recall that Rael is the French-born prophet and race car driver who says he
met an alien in a volcano in 1973 and visited the home planet shortly
thereafter. In 2002, the Raelians claimed to have cloned a baby girl. The
claim drew the attention of news media and the eager condemnation of various
Senate subcommittees, and Rael was much in the public eye those months:
50-ish, receding hairline, prone to latter-day Elvis jumpsuits, uncannily
immune to parody. The cloning claim was never substantiated.
Rael is not likely to be in town this weekend, which leaves South Florida's
Raelians, who number around 15, to parade naked on their own.
The Spokeswoman of Rael, in an interview one recent afternoon, qualified
this. ''We may be hiding the nipples and genital area,'' she said. ''Like
with a butterfly, or with flowers.''
Also, this will not be the First Femininity Day ever, but the second. Last
year's coincided with an Italian festival in Miami Beach and so drew less
attention than it perhaps deserved.
The Spokeswoman of Rael said this poolside at a luxury condominium building
in Hallandale Beach. She wore heels and a floral print dress that left her
shoulders bare. She meant to look good and she did. She said her name was
Lisa Lumiere: 34, Japanese, makes her living practicing Chinese traditional
medicine. Then she wrote her name in Japanese characters. ''Li-Sa,'' she
said. ''It means pear water.''
Last year's parade went well. Everyone wore white Indian saris, tied to
expose one breast. ''This was right after Janet Jackson's beautiful
accident. It was very, very spiritual. They did this also in Japan, France,
Italy and all over Africa.''
It was apparently enough of a success to bear repetition, so we may expect a
single-file line of semi-naked, possibly dancing Raelians to snake down
Lincoln Road. Possibly they will wear wings, since Lumiere has some left
over from a recent Goddess Workshop.
Lumiere said she'd already seen two UFOs when she met Rael. Her parents -- 
her father is a schoolteacher, her mother a doctor -- overcame their
misgivings and grew fond of him. He explained the universe to her, and she
followed him around the world for 14 years. She was his girlfriend for four.
He later married an ex-ballet dancer who appeared in 2002 Playboy spread.
Lumiere said she is not bitter.
''He's the most intelligent person I've ever met,'' she said. 'He taught me
so much. With someone like that -- it is selfish if I keep him for myself.
'You are ready, little bird,' he told me. 'You're ready to fly.' ''
Lumiere was opaque. She seemed to subscribe wholeheartedly to Raelian
doctrine. She must have known that, by inviting an interview, she risked as
much public mockery as the naked stunt planned for Sunday could draw. She
knows both will draw attention nonetheless, and perhaps converts.
How could a seemingly rational, intelligent adult believe in this science
fiction? Maybe her infatuation with Rael overpowered her reason.
Or maybe she has material motive -- the movement does, after all, encourage
followers to donate any inheritance to Rael, the Guide of Guides.
But it is much more interesting to believe she is driven by faith. What is
the difference, after all, between someone who believes Jesus walked on
water by divine will, and someone who believes He walked with the aid of an
antigravity beam?

Finalmente un buon articolo.
Il grande puffo che non si fa trovare, le sue angele che si coprono le
pudenda ecc.
Una manifestazione riuscita meravigliosamente.
