"Que los All Blacks no tengan sexo durante el Mundial"
Peligros de la campaña publicitaria de Nueva Zelandia que le pide a los All Blacks que no tengan sexo durante el mundial
The All Blacks are at the centre of a new public relations controversy - this time over a supposedly humorous and edgy Telecom-led ad campaign to have fans abstain from sex during the World Cup.

The NZ Rugby Union is understood to have been irritated by the campaign, although it issued a supportive statement last night.
"Abstain for the All Blacks" - to start late next week - will be official All Blacks' fan site, BackingBlack. It asks supporters to avoid sex during the World Cup to support the team.
The campaign will be fronted by former All Black captain Sean Fitzpatrick, and participants will receive black rubber finger-rings to show they have signed up for the World Cup next month.
Organisers hope the rings will galvanise fans in the way Sir Peter Blake's red socks did for New Zealand's successful America's Cup yachting campaigns.
But a marketing person familiar with the campaign said Telecom's advertising agency, Saatchi & Saatchi, considered it "edgy" and expected it to be controversial.
He told the Herald: "I think this thing is a bloody embarrassment. The rest of the world will take the piss out of us. This will be much better sport than the rugby. It's inexplicable."
The campaign will run in various media. Posters bearing the slogan, "Touch, pause and don't engage" will be placed in bus shelters.
Originally, the plan also included signs above urinals in bars and restaurants, urging men to "think of your mum in a bikini - Abstain for the All Blacks" but they were cut from the campaign.
The BackingBlack campaign was founded by Telecom and is endorsed by the NZRU as the official fan club for the All Blacks.
Telecom director of marketing Kieren Cooney said the new campaign was intended as "tongue-in-cheek".
"We've tried to take a way that is fun and is absolutely tongue-in-cheek and is absolutely based on what, we think, is Kiwi humour ...
"So this is something which I don't think is prudish or is precious but is one which is a good laugh."
Mr Cooney said the NZRU had been involved with Abstain for the All Blacks from its conception.
A source said the NZRU was not happy with the original campaign and asked for changes.
"It has been involved from the top down with BackingBlack and this campaign itself ... we have been dealing with it on a weekly, if not daily basis," said Mr Cooney.
Later last night the NZRU's commercial manager, Paul Dalton, issued a statement: "Telecom and BackingBlack are great supporters of the All Blacks, and put a lot of energy and creativity into getting fans involved.
"Our partners manage their own creative ideas but we are in the loop on their latest campaigns, and as with other BackingBlack activity we expect this to be entertaining and get people talking."
Asked if the All Blacks themselves would abstain from sex for the cup, Mr Dalton said: "Last time we checked, the All Blacks' match preparations aren't built around sponsors' advertising campaigns, so let's not confuse the two.
"This is all about Telecom doing something fun with, and for, the fans and should be very obvious to everyone that it is not to be taken too seriously."
Mr Cooney said the concept for Abstain for the All Blacks came from members of the BackingBlack fanclub.
"It's tongue-in-cheek, and what we think is really Kiwi humour to get the nation rallying behind the All Blacks."
Auckland University senior marketing lecturer Tom Agee asked if the campaign was a practical joke when he was told about it.
"I'm gobsmacked ... The idea behind the campaign is to get some attention and to get some talk, but I can't believe anybody would participate in that."
Asked if the All Blacks needed more controversy after the row over the price of adidas jerseys, Mr Cooney said: "I can't really see the parallel with adidas. First of all, we're not looking to sell anything directly from this - what we're doing is really trying to galvanise support for the All Blacks."

"Quiero mear, quiero mear" FAMOSO ACTOR, EBRIO, SE HIZO PIS EN EL AVIÓN
El célebre actor francés Gérard Depardieu dejó atónitos a los pasajeros de un vuelo de Citijet, filial regional de Air France, al orinar anoche en estado de embriaguez en el pasillo de un avión con destino a Dublín, explicó hoy una pasajera a la emisora francesa Europe 1.
Según su versión, el actor quiso acceder al baño durante la fase de despegue, y al negarle el paso la azafata por razones de seguridad, Depardieu se bajó la bragueta y orinó sobre la alfombra del avión.
"Quiero mear, quiero mear", insistió el intérprete de 62 años antes de ejecutar la acción en el vuelo AF 5010, que cubría la ruta París-Dublín con 127 pasajeros a bordo.
La azafata le pidió al ganador de un César por su papel en "Cyrano de Bergerac" que espere un cuarto de hora a que el avión hubiese despegado: "El bañó está cerrado, no puedo ayudarle", explicó, según el testimonio.
"No puedo esperar", respondió Depardieu, que sorprendió a los presentes con su gesto, pero que no se llevó ninguna reprimenda y volvió a sentarse en su asiento.
La compañía aérea confirmó hoy a Efe que en ese vuelo hubo "un incidente" protagonizado por el actor, pero no quiso aportar más detalles sobre el mismo, que según la emisora ocasionó un retraso de dos horas ya que el avión, que debía despegar a las 16:45 GMT, tuvo que dar media vuelta para limpiar la alfombra
.
Depardieu, que se dio a conocer en Estados Unidos con el filme "Green Card", es uno de los actores mejor pagados de Francia, con 2,7 millones de dólares (unos 1,9 millones de euros) ingresados el año pasado, según una clasificación del diario "Le Figaro".
El actor mantiene un fuerte ritmo de trabajo, con cinco largometrajes en 2010 y una decena de proyectos previstos, entre ellos el de encarnar por tercera vez a Obélix, en "Astérix et Obélix: God Save Britannia".
C5N ardió plantación de marihuana escondida debajo de la avenida General Paz
C5N ardió plantación de marihuana escondida debajo de la avenida General Paz http://ow.ly/65eY5
Unas cien plantas de cannabis se incendiaron esta madrugada dentro de la estructura que se encuentra debajo de esa autopista y su intersección con la avenida Maipú mano a provincia, anticipó C5N
Trabajaron en el lugar tres dotaciones de bomberos, una ambulancia y un móvil de seguridad vial, informó C5N.
Los efectivos llegaron a la zona alertados por vecinos acerca de la existencia de humo debajo de la autopista.
Sin embargo, una vez en el lugar del siniestro, debieron realizar un boquete en la pared para poder ingresar y así apagar las llamas.
Durante esa tarea, descubrieron que lo que había ardido era alrededor de un centenar de plantas de marihuana, escondidas de esa insólita manera.

Condenan a un hombre de 65 años por abusar sexualmente de una mujer dormida en un avión"
C5N: "Condenan a un hombre de 65 años por abusar sexualmente de una mujer dormida en un avión".
Ella ( de 64 años) declaro "Lo malo del Alplax es que te dan una alegría y no te enteras " (**)
El (de 65 años) comento :"Lo bueno del Viagra es que si te tomas 100mg te comes a una viejita. y si te tomas 100mg mas te comes hasta al piloto"
Un hombre fue condenado a un año de prisión por abusar sexualmente de una mujer dormida durante un vuelo de Hong Kong a Nueva Jersey, informó la Fiscalía Federal de Nueva Jersey.
Ramesh Advani, de 65 años, se declaró culpable de un delito de 'contacto sexual abusivo', por lo que el juez lo declaró culpable con una condena de doce meses de cárcel, cinco años de libertad vigilada y una multa de 10 mil dólares.
Los hechos se dieron el 21 de mayo del 2010 en un vuelo de la compañía Continental, donde Advani viajaba ese día sentado al lado de una mujer y, mientras el avión sobrevolaba, la víctima se encontraba dormida y cubierta por una manta, momento en que el hombre abusó sexualmente de ella. Cuando la mujer despertó y se dio cuenta de lo que estaba pasando, se levantó de su asiento y denunció lo ocurrido a un miembro de la tripulación.
