Just when I think I’ve heard it all something like this comes up. It’s bizarre, weird, and disgusting.
Nothing is sacred anymore. There’s no concern that even death is being exploited for the amusement of gawkers.
Throw in sex, and you can attract more visitors. What does that say about this new millennium?

German anatomists plan a new show dedicated solely to dead bodies having sex as part of the Body Worldsexhibitions.
Gunther von Hagens and his wife Angelina Whalley show corpses prepared using a technique invented by von Hagens called "plastination," that removes water from specimens and preserves them with silicon rubber or epoxy resin.
"It's not my intention to show certain sexual poses. My goal is really to show the anatomy and the function," Body Worlds creative director Whalley told Reuters in an interview, adding the sex exhibition may open next year.
Body Worlds exhibitions, visited by 27 million people across the world, have been criticized for presenting entire corpses, stripped of skin to reveal the muscles and organs underneath, in lifelike and often theatrical positions.
Von Hagens has already triggered uproar with a new exhibit which shows just two copulating corpses. Click here to read the rest at Reuters.
