They are real, and they are SPECTACULAR!

A group of female hurricane Katrina survivors were told to show their breasts if they wanted to be rescued, a British holidaymaker has revealed.
Ged Scott watched as American rescuers turned their boat around and sped off when the women refused.
The account was just another example of the horror stories emerging from the hurricane disaster zone.
Mr Scott, 36, of Liverpool, was with his wife and seven-year-old daughter in the Ramada Hotel when the flood waters started rising.
"At one point, there were a load of girls on the roof of the hotel saying 'Can you help us?' and the policemen said 'Show us what you've got' and made signs for them to lift their T-shirts," he told the Liverpool Evening Echo.
"When the girls refused, they said 'Fine' and motored off down the road in their boat."
At one point he had to wade through filthy water to barricade the hotel doors against looters.
He said the experience made him want to vomit.
Mr Scott also slated the rescue operation, saying police were more interested in taking snapshots of the devastation rather than rescuing the victims.
"I could not have a lower opinion of the authorities, from the police officers on the street right up to George Bush," he said.
George Bush is accused of not acting quick enough
"I couldn't describe how bad the authorities were. Just little things like taking photographs of us, as we are standing on the roof waving for help, for their own little snapshot albums"
He added: "The American people saved us. I wish I could say the same for the American authorities."
Mike Brocken, of Chester, said he feared his wife Christine and 18-year-old daughter Stephanie would be raped when they went into the Louisiana Superdome.
The family were also racially abused by other refugees in the stadium.
Mr Brocken, a BBC Radio Merseyside presenter and music lecturer, told the station: "We were going to go inside the Superdome.
"I approached two members of the National Guard and they said to stay outside because they knew it was in there.
"One female office basically said under no cir stances take the women in there, because she knew what it was like.
"We were so frightened and we stayed alongside the National Guard for some kind of protection.
"It was at that stage that they started to take us under their wing and eventually managed to get us into the basketball stadium."
He added: "Everyone talks about the National Guard in rather derogatory ways historically, but I've got to say that, but for them, and one man in particular, I may well have lost my family."
They are real, and they are SPECTACULAR!
its all bull , their pleasures and the idea of a money paying picture came before saving peoples lives.Mr Scott also slated the rescue operation, saying police were more interested in taking snapshots of the devastation rather than rescuing the victims.
It must have been the wet T-shirts.
I am thinking VERY wet
How degrading.
How can those bas s have such authority? These people already feel like crap, and they still want to humiliate them that way?!!
I read the same story in a few other papers. I didn't want to believe it at first, but it appears to be true. I believe they said it was the New Orleans Police that did this. Pretty disgusting.
My kidding aside, it is pathetic indeed.
thanks for saying that. You had me worried.
I only HOPE this is not true.
I dont belive any of that article
they got saved didn't they.... and most europeans show their s any time they are at the pool so who gives a
No, they didn't get saved!! The boat kept on going! They were saved days later (I believe by an Australian film crew). I can't believe some of the comments here.
but they still got saved eventually...
You are the Sequ of the political forum.
was what i said false? europeans have no qualms about showing their s at the pool...
What's not to believe. It's not an indictment on the entire police force(although they make it out to be). It was more than likely an isolated incident. There are lowlifes in all walks of life such as the looters who denigrate the lower class and the rouge authorities who give a law enforcement a bad name
If you don't get that it is wrong to degrade and mock people and to make them grovel when they are in a state of terror and are pleading for help, then you need some help yourself.
like max said.. happens and you have bad apples in every section of society. they article makes it appear all the rescuers were that way. i highly doubt it.. and , it may not have even police officers. these are foreigners and could have mistaken some other uniforms for police officer uniforms.
but honestly, it was just, show your s. if that is all they had to do to get saved, show your s!
Bad apples ruin it for everyone sometimes. Like saying most are looters or taking handouts.
I have a couple of questions. Were they not tourist? Were they forced to
stay in New Orleans? Weren't they warned to get out of city? Why did they stay and subject themselves and for that matter those they wanted to rescue them risk their lives saving them?
I read a story about a young couple from Washington that "called" before
going to New Orleans for a weekend trip and were told to come on down we
never close and the stupid people went and got caught in all the mess and
then had the gall to blame others for their trouble.
I am sorry folks, but there is a heck of a difference between those that live
there and those that are there as tourist. As a tourist, you move on to
better places unless you "just want the experience of going through a
hurricane". But obviously they were deaf and unable to read or they would
have known the dangers of staying there. They as Englishmen should have
heeded their own saying: "use your nut".
"Use your nut"....I love that saying!
I hear people ing about not having the means to leave the city. I find it unbelievable that someone wanting to get out would not call city officials or the red cross or any host social services and tell them they want to evacuate but haven't a way to leave and not be given some sort of option.
Now you hear them blaming everyone but themselves for the natural catastrophe.
Which by the way was seen coming a week away.
They were in New Orleans and DIDN'T show their breasts. I have been seriously misimformed.
Really though, that stuffs not cool`
