Hungarians Reclaim World Kissing Title

by Willy Volk on

This week, a group of 6400 horny Hungarian couples broke the world record for simultaneous kissing when they locked lips for a few moments outside the country’s ornate and mood-inspiring parliament building. Amusingly, Hungary has been engaged in a back-and-forth “kissing duel” with the Philippines since 2004, as both countries have been vying for the title.

Reportedly, one young, lascivious couple who identified themselves only as “Orsi and Pityu” started kissing half an hour before the official record attempt. “That’s the least we can do for the nation,” Pityu said. Pityu, you are a patriot! Anyway, this is what the event looked like:

Note that this record is not the same as the world’s longest kiss, which is a lip-wearying 31 hours long. Nor is it the same as girls kissing in bars, which happens on a daily basis at college campuses around the world.

We’ll try to keep you posted on future attempts in time to make travel arrangements, you perverts.

Frisky Passenger Faces Prison

by Jonathon Morgan on

Ever take a trip with your spouse or significant other, and suddenly find yourself “in the mood” at 20,000 feet? You may want to keep that affection in check. Some guy from California might go to jail for getting it on with his girlfriend in the air.

Carl William Persing has been convicted of interfering with flight attendants and crew members after he and his girlfriend “made other passengers uncomfortable” by “kissing” and “embracing.” After they asked him to take his tongue out of his girlfriend’s mouth, Persing got miffed, threatened the attendants — twice — and found himself in an awkward conversation with FBI officials upon arrival in North Carolina.

Sounds like he was acting like a jerk, so fair enough. I know I wouldn’t want to watch anyone suck face — let alone when I’m stuck with them for a cross-country flight. But because it all happened on an airplane, Persing was breaking federal law, and has thus been convicted of a federal felony — which means he’ll probably serve jail time.

Wow. I can only imagine the conversation with other inmates while he’s in the slammer.

“Why are you in here?”
“I robbed a bank. What about you?”
“I. Uh. Made out with my girlfriend on an airplane.”

Doesn’t exactly make him sound like a force to be reckoned with.

No Kissing On American Airlines?

by Adrienne Wilson on

It’s been almost a year since the shocking Lorrie Heasley story. Remember the woman removed from a Southwest Airlines flight in Reno when she refused to take off or cover her offensive “Meet the F*ckers” shirt? It caused quite a stir then, and as of late, another airline has been raising a ruckus in the gay community it seems. The New Yorker runs a rather detailed piece on an incident where George Tsikhiseli, a television journalist, and his writer boyfriend, Stephan Varnier, were told the plane would be diverted if they did not drop the issue of touching and kissing on the plane.

Let me backtrack. The two passengers were on their way back into NYC from Paris when Varnier started dozing off and leaned his head on his partner Tsikhiseli. A stewardess came over and told them the purser said to stop the touching and kissing. The two passengers noted there was no kiss kissing, just mwah (smacking sound). When questioned, the purser also became rigid on the subject. Later, the purser informed Tsikhiseli that the captain would like to talk to him. The captain informed Tsikhiseli that if he didn’t stop arguing with the crew, the plane would be diverted. Now, what I’ve just provided is a very through-the-grapevine look at the story, so I suggest you read the entire deal over at the New Yorker.

If power truly rests in numbers and this story were to get into the hands of the entire gay community, I would think American Airlines screwed up, but overall the situation just sounds overly bizarre.
