As Ogden Nash pointed out, "Smallpox is natural. Vaccine ain't." We could paraphrase Nash: adultery is natural. Monogamy ain’t.

Save the Love Parade
In 1988, local DJs and club owners discovered that the easiest way to get permission for a public rave was to have it masquerade as a protest march. They invented a few nonsensical slogans, loaded turntables and speakers onto flatbed trucks, and set off through the streets of West Berlin with several hundred dancing "protesters" in tow. From these relatively humble beginnings, the Love Parade became a national, then an international event. By 1998, it was attracting upwards of 1.8 million participants, two-thirds of them tourists. A porno movie was shot atop one of the trucks, FEED | Politics & Society - Love is Strange

Congratulations to me. I have now been in Thailand for 4 years.

Crazy hoax. May 22 — At least hundreds, if not thousands of Webloggers and other Netizens spent the past year rooting for 19-year-old Kaycee Nicole, who was battling leukemia and chronicling her incredible efforts online. They sent hats when her hair fell out. They sent Amazon gift certificates so she had reading material. They even sent money when mom lost her job to be at Kaycee’s bedside. There was a worldwide groan May 14 when Kaycee’s passing was announced, followed by an online wake. Only one problem: There was no Kaycee Nicole.

ATM scam
In this case, she had inserted her card in an ATM, only to be greeted by a message that the machine was temporarily out of order.
At that point a well-dressed woman approached and told the customer that the same thing had happened to her the other day. The solution was to re-enter the Pin and then press "cancel" twice. No luck. The customer concluded that the machine had swallowed her card.
On returning to the bank the next morning, the customer found that her card had not been retrieved-and there was a hole in her bank account.
The customer had been the victim of what those in the trade call the "Lebanese Loop".

It works like this: A plastic envelope or similar contraption is made that fits the ATM card slot perfectly. It allows the real ATM card to be accepted by the machine, but blocks its return.
This is where the helpful bystander comes in. He or she will "shoulder surf"-
