Putting the Spin on Sexual Ethics

Spin a wheel, win a…
The Sexual Ethics Interactive destined for our website is in progress. Should the wheel be golden? Hot Pink? Every visual aspect will be hotly debated. Or, ho hum, simply agreed upon. Here’s what’s ahead: Nik, Kara and I are calling different churches for their official position on various sexual ethics issues. People will see the results on the website in the form of an interactive wheel where visitors can check their favorite (or most embarassing) sexual/ethical issue to see where their (or other people’s) religions stand.
Have you been naughty when your religion wants you to be nice? Oh beeeehave!

If Ms. Andrade has anything to say about it, we’ll be on the street polling people about THEIR sexual ethics. Gotta love that Andrade! Stay tuned. There may be a wheel of fortune with your name on it. We’ll be traveling lo those many miles across the Bay Bridge to San Francisco to take a gander at the grand love meters of yesteryear at Pier 39’s Musee Mecanique, a vintage museum/arcade, to gather some ideas. (For those who don’t know, the love meter is a antique mechanical device that purports to measure your love prowess when you grip a metal handle. Oh the bells and whistles!)

Nothing so tawdry for us. We’re journalists! We want to educate you about important personal issues that matter to all of us. The lights, sounds, and displays are worth a look, but we’ll be reporting the facts based on good solid journalism.
Hey! Don’t look so glum!

Stay tuned for arcade photos and more!
