Forced To Party By The Economy

An Australian holiday resort will hold a month-long, nude "anything goes" party to combat an expected economic downturn...because how bad can things really be if you're doing rails of coke of a stranger's ass?

"Tough economic times call for stiff measures," said the very clever Tony Fox, owner of the White Cockatoo resort in Mossman, Queensland. Yeah, I thought it sounded like a tropical gay bar too. "It will be a hedonism resort, where anything goes for a month. It doesn't take rocket science to work out what it means," he said, naming March as the risque party month.

Their controversial "clothes optional" resort made headlines three years ago when police were called to end partner-swapping parties after a swathe of public complaints. But regional Mayor Val Schier said she was not opposed to the event as long as no laws were broken (that they knew of). "People in tropical north Queensland are extraordinarily creative," Schier said. "It is tough economic times and as long as it is with consenting adults, then there is no problem."

Fox said his resort was almost fully booked for the month-long rainforest party. No word on how many herpes meds or syringes were being ordered.
