Married Women Infected 500 men With AIDS

A woman claiming to have Aids sparked mass panic with an internet video in which she claimed to have infected 500 men.

The video, posted on several websites, saw the woman with a scarf covering her face warning: ‘Your husband is going to have Aids. You're all going to die.’ It sparked a flood of calls to police who soon traced it to amateur porn star Jackie Braxton, 23, of Detroit.

‘All of it was false,’ she now admits. ‘I don't have Aids. I didn't infect anybody.’

Braxton, who is married and has a five-year-old daughter, says she made the hoax video ‘so people can pay more attention to the Aids virus’. She insists police made her get tested for the virus and the results proved she is negative. She later blogged about the episode - with a picture of her giving the finger to those she terrified. ‘You dumb a** people, I pulled an old fashioned “Gotcha, b**ch”,’ she wrote. ‘Think I give a f***? Ask the picture. Shame on you guys for falling for the dumb s**t smh (an acronym for ‘shaking my head’).’ Detroit Police do not know yet if criminal charges can be brought against her because they do not know if she has broken any laws. ‘We are 100 per cent positive it was a hoax,’ said Deputy Chief James Tolbert. Richard Krisciunas, a former prosecutor for 28 years and current University of Detroit Mercy Law School professor, said Braxton exercised her free speech in creating the video. ‘I can't think of a crime,’ Krisciunas admitted. ‘I don't see a crime.’

Avseenko Natalia - Naked Russian Diver Plays with White Whales in Arctic

Braving sub-zero temperatures, she has thrown caution — and her clothes — to the wind to tame two beluga whales in a unique and controversial experiment.

Natalia Avseenko, 36, was persuaded to strip naked as marine experts believe belugas do not like to be touched by artificial materials such as diving suits.

The skilled Russian diver took the plunge as the water temperature hit minus 1.5 degrees Centigrade.

Belugas are famed for the way in which their faces are able to convey human-like expressions. Certainly Matrena and Nilma seemed to enjoy frolicking with Natalia.

The taming of the whales happened in the Murmansk Oblast region in the far north-west of Russia at the shore of the White Sea near the Arctic Circle branch of the Utrish Dophinarium.

An area of the sea is enclosed to stop whales and dolphins getting out and instructors tame the mammals before they are transported to dolphinariums around the world — a practice many animal conservationists consider cruel.

Belugas have a small hump on their heads used for echo-location and it was thought that there would be more chance of striking up a rapport with them without clothes as a barrier.

The average human could die if left in sub-zero temperature sea water for just five minutes.

However, Natalia is a yoga expert and used meditation techniques to hold her breath and stay under water for an incredible ten minutes and 40 seconds.

There are around 100,000 belugas in the wild.

The first to be held in captivity was shown at Barnum's Museum in New York in 1861, and there are belugas in aquariums and sea life parks across Europe, North America and Asia.

Their large range of 'facial expressions' comes from them having a more flexible bone structure than other whales.

Certainly these two had a big smile for the naked Natalia.
