Victim rails: Date this, sicko!

Perv gets 2 yrs. of probation

BY HELEN PETERSON
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER
No, Dan, she would not date you under any circumstance.
That's the message that 23-year-old Thao Nguyen had for the pervert yesterday as he was sentenced to two years probation for public lewdness.

Nguyen was on an R train last summer when raw-food restaurateur Daniel Hoyt, 43, smirked at the young woman as he masturbated, then exposed himself.

But the quick-thinking Web developer shot back, flipping out her cell phone and taking a photo of him en flagrante.

After the photo ran on the cover of the Daily News, Hoyt was identified and arrested.

He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor in February, then gave an odd interview to New York magazine claiming that some women like to be flashed.

He even said Nguyen would probably date him if he met her elsewhere.

Instead, Nguyen and a half-dozen supporters protested in front of Manhattan Criminal Court as he was sentenced. She held a sign that read: "Actually, if I met you in a bar, I wouldn't date you!"

Nguyen and supporters from www.Hollabacknyc.com, a Web site inspired by her cell phone photo, missed Hoyt as he left court, but said they wanted to take a stand against harassers.

"She is like the Rosa Parks of street harassment," one of the site's founders, Lauren Spees, 25, said of Nguyen.

A Probation Department report recommended that Hoyt be incarcerated because of a "lack of remorse" shown by his comments, according to Judge Alexander Jeong.

Prosecutor Andrew Zakrocki asked the judge to impose the jail sentence.

But Hoyt's lawyer Michael Bachner protested, claiming the interview took place before Hoyt started undergoing counseling.

"I will impose the sentence promised," Jeong said. He told Hoyt to continue psychiatric counseling and warned that a probation violation could get him 90 days in jail.

"I don't think that is going to help him. He has a background in this, he's been doing it for 10 years," Nguyen said.

According to court records, four other women complained that Hoyt flashed them on the subway in 2004 and 2005. Hoyt was arrested for public lewdness in 1994 but pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct.

Hoyt didn't speak in court, but later said: "I apologize for my actions and I'm sorry for anyone I may have offended."

SAN FRANCISCO - When America's top sex researchers gathered recently to discuss the next decade in their field, some envisioned a future in which artificial sex partners could cater to every fantasy.

"What is very likely to be present before 2016 would be a multi-sensual experience of virtual sex," said Julia Heiman, director of the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction at Indiana University, Bloomington.

"There is a possibility of developing erotic materials for yourself that would allow you to create a partner of certain dimensions and qualities, the partner saying certain things in that interaction, certain things happening in that interaction."

A field dubbed "teledildonics" already allows people at two remote computers to manipulate electronic devices such as a vibrator at the other end for sexual purposes.

"People who use it are just blown away," said Steve Rhodes, president of Sinulate Entertainment, which has sold thousands of Internet-connected sex devices over the past three years. "This is not something that just the lunatic fringe does."

"The Iraq war ... was kind of a boom for our company."

Gina Lynn, who writes the "Sex Drive" column for Wired magazine, says she has used and enjoyed the Sinulator and says there is no reason to fear the technology.

"People are still really afraid of...any sort of combination of sex and technology and of the Internet," she said. "What people are missing here is the point, which is the human connection that we are facilitating through the technology."

"No one who is even inventing this stuff wants or even thinks that technology could ever replace human connection or sex."

Annie Sprinkle, a former adult film actress, prostitute and author of "Spectacular Sex," said teledildonics are a logical outgrowth of improvements in pleasure devices.

"Now people use vibrators like mad and rightly so; the technology of sex toys has vastly improved," she said. "The more options the better; I mean it can never replace body to body."

"Some people will love it more than anything else and others won't be into it." ...

creepy...but hey, that would be an interesting job...beats customer service i imagine...lol

For those working through the night or just staying up late, it promises to be a time when clockwatching should be positively encouraged.

In the early hours of Thursday morning, the clock ticks past a time which is sure to appeal to the statistically-minded or just those who like a little bit of order in their lives.

For just a second - naturally - the time will be exactly 01:02:03 on 04/05/06.

Next such phenomen will happen 72 years later at 12:34:56 on 05/06/78.
Damn, it's my birthday!

If successful, the plan would have seen humans and chimpanzees cross-breeding to create a new race of "living war machines", which ignored pain and fear and which thrived on hardship.
According to The Scotsman, the program was instigated by Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin in the early 1920s. Stalin saw the scheme as an integral part of his plans to consolidate power and rapidly boost the Soviet Union's flagging power and prestige on the world stage.

The stakes were high - Stalin's battered Red Army had been gutted by years of civil war and internal purges. There was also intense pressure to find a new labour force, particularly one that would not complain, with the Soviet Union about to embark on its first Five-Year Plan for fast-track industrialisation.

Stalin threw scientists and other genetic experts into the program, providing lavish resources and funding in a bid to achieve early results.

"I want a new invincible human being, insensitive to pain, resistant and indifferent about the quality of food they eat," Stalin said, quoted by Moscow newspapers.

His cronies were not slow in supporting him. In 1926 the Politburo in Moscow passed the request to the Academy of Science with the order to build a "living war machine".
The Soviets drafted their top animal-breeding expert into the program. Ilya Ivanov, who previously had set up the world's first centre for the artificial insemination of racehorses, set off for West Africa to conduct his first experiments in inseminating chimpanzees.

Meeting little success, Ivanov turned his efforts around, setting up a facility in Stalin's home republic of Georgia to fertilise human volunteers with monkey and ape sperm. Not surprisingly, the efforts were a total failure.

All up, his efforts cost the impoverished Soviet Union many hundreds of thousands of dollars.

For his expensive failure, he was sentenced to five years' jail, later commuted to five years' exile in the Central Asian republic of Kazakhstan.

A year later he died, reportedly after falling sick while standing on a freezing railway platform

haha that makes me laugh so much
