"I have written to the Minister of Telecommunications to delay the use of certain mobile phones," Hun Sen told an assembly of Buddhist monks in Phnom Penh Friday. "We can wait 10 more years until we have managed to improve morality in society."

Hun Sen, a one-eyed former Khmer Rouge soldier who has been in charge for the past 20 years, said his wife had signed a petition asking him to act against the phones, which can send video as well as still images.

Sexual violence and abuse are common in the war-scarred Southeast Asian nation.

Cambodia's first 3G (third-generation) mobile network opened earlier this year, but few people can afford the phones.

April of 2006 arrived and brought the warmth of spring with it. We decided to celebrate by dusting off the pool tables at Vaxxine and throwing open the doors for the first BHON Movie Night of the year.

Eddie Murphy provided the retro-entertainment and Duff’s provided the pizza and wings. We’re happy to report there were no GI-Joe related incidents the entire night.

Yes, amidst a peaceful courtyard in Beijing, the Guo Lizhuang restaurant lets diners please their palates with more than 30 kinds of animal penis served Chinese hotpot style.

For about $45 to $450 (aren't you glad our currency is so strong these days?), gourmands can choose among many kinds of bian hotpots: yaks, donkeys, dogs, oxen and even — shh, don't tell the McCartneys — seals.

Traditional Chinese medicine apparently holds that the penis of certain beasts is chock-a block with nutrients that bring men energy. And because it contains gelatin and albumen — as do marshmallows — it's supposed to have excellent cosmetic effects for women and is particularly good for skin.

Prices at the Guo Lizhuang ("strength in the pot") eatery seem reasonable to us, though we admit to lacking a means of comparison: a donkey penis sets you back $27.25 as does the ragout of ox and dog members. And given its prodigious length, a yak pecker is a steal at $38.75.
