CENSORSHIP
The ‘Extreme Pornography’ laws look set to get passed, meaning that innocent pics of consensual BDSM will become illegal – as will condom-free sex in porn (OK, that could have benefits, but it’s still ridiculous). See Backlash-UK.org.uk for the full story.

PLATFORM STILETTOS
Walking in stilettos is hard enough. Adding a platform into the equation makes the risk of breaking an ankle way too high (no pun intended).

UNSAFE SEX
It’s never a cool thing, but in National Condom Week (12-18 May) there’s even less excuse for being stupid. Get your free info pack at Durexchange.co.uk/NCW
PLUS: WIN A DUREX GOODY BAG! The first five people to email us with “Durex/Harlot comp” in the subject line, answering the question, “When is National Condom Week?” will win a Durex goody bag worth £50 containing condoms, lube and vibrating goodies.

ANNA FRIEL
The first woman to share a Sapphic snog in a soap just keeps getting cooler. As Chuck in Pushing Daisies, she’s glamorous, endearing and the perfect romantic heroine (even if the series does gratuitously rip off Amelie). Watch online at ITV.com or tune in to ITV at 9pm on Saturdays.

PRIVATE JETS
We used to think they were an eco-unfriendly option for people with more money than sense, but now the Private Jet Club is offering time-share jet access, with the option of sharing your flight with others to minimise pollution. Now anyone can pretend to be a Jackie Collins heroine. See ThePJC.co.uk for details

DONATIONS
Metro’s campaign to get every reader to give £4 for the people of Burma is the best front page story of last week. You know it makes sense – call 0870 6060 900, or visit Dec.org.uk

This week’s Boiling Point comes from Zencentricity in the Scarlet forums. She hates the fact that her man is a gaming addict

Why is it that some men – and I’m sure it’s not all of them – want to do nothing with their time but plug in, whether to the internet, the Wii or some naff, nerdy TV show? There’s a whole world out there! It’s not like my man is old and incapacitated at 22. Soon enough we’ll have commitments and full time jobs; we should enjoy student life while we can. I find time to do this and still get good grades. I work hard, I play hard. I personally do not have a TV or a console. I go out and meet new people whenever I can, because that’s what uni’s all about. This year I’m travelling to different cities all over the country to visit old mates and meet some of their friends, and I can’t wait. I just don’t understand lazy people most of the time.

If it makes you feel better, Zencentricity, you’re not the only one who has to suffer. Try playing your man this song to jolt him out of his geekery…

If there's an issue that's bugging you‚ send us your rant (of up to 200 words) to Editorial@HarlotMagazine.co.uk‚ and if it's funny enough‚ or angry enough‚ we'll publish it here.
