Even many of our heroes turned out to be badly flawed, from doping by athletes in baseball, cycling and the Olympics to the endless political scandals and sex scandals. And yes, we couldn't get enough of them on the 24-hour cable news, blogs and reality TV that chronicle and reflect this unsavory maw. The rise of all manner of new media and the lack of barriers to criticism from the blogosphere seemed to intensify every scandal and left very few public figures unsullied. Sure, some amazingly great things happened this decade, from the stunning rise of China...
...chains straining to cantilever a substantial bosom. In a Hugh Grant movie, such an incident would trigger a tsunami of awkwardness, but then again, bashful Brits of the kind impersonated by Grant would probably not be beating a path to the opening day of Erotica 2009. The 14th annual sex-themed expo is billed by its organizers as "the best-attended adult lifestyle event in the world," and this year attracted some 70,000 visitors over three days in November. The redhead and her neighbor, his paunch nicely emphasized by a gleaming blue PVC vest beneath his jacket, calmly disentangle...
...textbook example of what a queue should be. Everybody knows Brits excel at queuing, but eroticism? This is the culture that produced Lady Chatterley's Lover, but then suppressed the novel for three decades. Brits have always been uncomfortable about sex - unless they're laughing at it. This is a nation of dropping trousers, pinging brassieres, guffaws, sniggers and euphemisms for sex like "slap and tickle," an image crystallized in a series of low-budget, high-smut farces filmed mostly in the 1960s and '70s that were known as the Carry Ons after the first two words in every title...
...more like the Beatles in reverse. Beatlemania was a reaction to the buttoned-down, sexually repressed pop culture of the 1950s. Twilight is a reaction to the reaction - it's a retreat from the hedonistic hookup culture that the sexual revolution begot. Nobody hooks up in Twilight. Meyer put sex back underground, transmuted it back into yearning, where it became, paradoxically, exponentially more powerful. "For me, the appeal of the vampire is safe sexuality," says Melissa Rosenberg, who has written the screenplays for all the Twilight movies. "It's the ultimate romantic ideal. You have the allure of the danger...
...inaugural report on women's health from the cradle to the grave, the World Health Organization found that HIV is the No. 1 killer of women ages 15 to 49 worldwide and that unequal access to sex education and health care leads to millions of preventable deaths each year. Traffic accidents, suicide and breast cancer are the top causes of death in high-income nations, while HIV/AIDS, maternal conditions (such as dying during childbirth and unsafe abortions) and tuberculosis account for 1 in 2 female deaths in poorer countries...
