According to The UK Sun, the men wear virtual reality headsets packed with softcore porn while they pedal.
Boffins are calling it a new “clean energy.”
Dubbed the “White Day Illumination Shining with Virgin-Produced Electricity,” the stunt was held on a busy Tokyo street. White Day is Valentine’s Day in Japan.
“We propose the world’s first system for extracting energy from videos,” explains Soft On Demand, the Japanese porn company behind the stunt.
The company asked specifically for virgins because they allegedly have “spurting energy that has nowhere else to go.”
The VR featured porn stars Tina Nanami (AV Debut and Paste Nude) and Hinata Koizumi (She’s Inexperienced and Innocent).
JACKO KIDS COSTUMES?
Pedophile Prince of Pop Michael Jackson may have been banned from the airwaves but not from Amazon.
The online retail giant is under fire for continuing to sell children’s costumes inspired by the disgraced Beat It singer — who died in 2009.
Researcher Wendy Roberts told the Daily Mirror: “I think this is really distasteful. Amazon should take them down now. It shows a total lack of respect. Amazon should take these costumes down now. It’s chilling to see them.”
She added: “Children’s outfits for a man who is strongly accused of being a pedophile is terrible.”
A new documentary called Leaving Neverland has laid bare Jackson’s pedophilic predilections.
MUGSHOT MANIA: FLORIDA EDITION
Normally this corner of the column is a fast and hard cheap shot — but not today.
Meet Lan Augustus, 61.
Lan is in hot water because of an intense pickleball game that turned violent. The feverish match ended with our heroine pummeling her 67-year-old paramour at their retirement community in Wildwood.
She slugged him in the face twice with a closed fist. An hour later, she allegedly hit him again. Lana said she only slapped the alleged victim.
Pickleball is a favourite with seniors, apparently.
PORKY POLICE GO TO CAMP
No, that’s not an installment of the Keystone Kops.
All over Thailand, police services are sending their most corpulent cops to a fat farm as part of Operation Belly Destruction.
The two-week course is packed with intense physical activity to help slim down blues who’ve made too many trips to the buffet. They work out, ride bikes, and change their diets.
“There are so many problems if you’re a fat cop,” said Senior Sgt. Maj. Sornpetch Chantarak, a dietary enforcer in the new program.
“You work slow and move slow as you go tumbling about. That’s unacceptable if you’re an officer tasked with arresting criminals since you have to be deft and go quickly.”
So far, 200 Thai cops have taken part in the program.
WHO’S A GOOD GIRL?
Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover.
Bold and the Beautiful star Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy Forrester) is doing her bit to dispell fears that pit bulls are dangerous.
The actress has been posting pics of her beloved pitbull Jamie and her baby boy, Rise Ruspoli, who frequently snuggle together.
Some fans have raised a red flag but MacInnes Wood took to social media to show canine and cutie pie’s special bond.
The B&B star encouraged people to blame bad dog owners, not the breed and hashtagged her photos “don’t bully my breed.”
