"Your balls are showing"

Spencer Tunick, a New York photographer famous for large-scale nude projects, has created some 'balls-out' shots to celebrate The Beautiful Game.

Tunick shot 1,840 nude volunteers yesterday in Vienna's Ernst Happel stadium--the site of the EURO 2008 — the European soccer championship — which will be played next month.

The photographer had hoped to get 2,008 people out for the shoot, but no go. The shoot took place over a several hours, and the models posed in various positions throughout the stadium. [click here to view the gallery]

The goal, according to an ad for volunteers, was "to capture and combine the spirit of sports, the grand sweeping waves of stadium architecture and the abstract relation of the human form to modern structures."

New meaning to 'cock pit'?

Good news for nudists!

OssiUrlaub.de, a German travel agency, will begin taking reservations for a July 5 flight where passengers can be nude the entire time.

In Germany, Naturism --or "free body culture" (FKK)--is a normal thing, and the flight is not intended to promote membership in the mile-high club, according the agency's director.

The flight will be a trial nudist day trip from the eastern German town of Erfurt to the Baltic Sea resort of Usedom, and will cost 499 euros, or $735.

Passengers must remain clothed until they board and put their clothes on before exiting the plane. The flight crew will remain clothed the entire flight due to safety reasons.

The flight holds 55 people, and the director said the plane is very small. So...great - as if flying weren't uncomfortable enough; now you've got some wrinkly, naked man crammed up next to you. But I guess if that flies with you, you can fly the nudist flight to Usedom.
