Spanish bar owner in trouble over "Naked Waitress" raffle

The owner of a bar in Salobreña near Granada got into trouble with the police recently, after offering clients a chance to win a one-night stand with a nude waitress in a raffle, to promote an upcoming party.

Residents of the town of Salobreña were horrified to find out that the owner of a local bar was promoting a party, using posters offering a sexual relationship with a “naked waitress” to one lucky raffle ticket winner.

The party was due to happen on August 10, in a bar situated on the ground floor of an apartment block in Salobreña.

It turns out this isn't the first time the owner has upset his neighbors, who had already had enough of the excessive noise levels coming from the bar. The new competition proved to be the final straw for them.

They took the matter to the local town hall, and Spanish Civil Guard officers approached the owner of the bar prior to the event, which was due to take place last Saturday. The officers warned him of the criminal risks he was running by making such a lewd offer.

Apparently the owner of the bar decided to cancel the party, and says his decision was reached prior to receiving the townspeople’s complaints. 

María José García, Equality Councillor in Salobreña, has labelled the advertising campaign as “sexist and disrespectful towards women.” She told the Spanish news service EFE, “It incites prostitution and views women as mere objects.”

Reportedly, the owner of the bar, "Contrapunto" (or Counterpoint in English), Miguel Ángel Cortés, apologized to all that he may have offended and said that he had been badly advised upon the legality of such a party.

Escaped Albino Burmese Python terrorizes Spanish town

Residents in the small Spanish town of Riells i Viabrea (Girona) in Spain's Catalonia region have been watching their step, as a two-and-a-half meter long albino Burmese Python is on the loose.

Digital Journal has recently reported on the incident where a python escaped from a Canadian pet store and strangled two young boys. For this reason, people living in Riells i Viabrea are especially on edge.

 

It has been around two weeks since the python escaped from a house in the town and it is still missing.

 

According to Spain's Antena 3 TV station, a snake hunt has been launched by local police and citizen volunteers to hunt for the albino Burmese python which is two-and-a-half meters long and weighs in at 10kg — not a snake to be played with.

 

According to police, the owner allegedly housed the snake in substandard conditions and actually failed to notice that the snake had escaped.

 

Judicial proceedings have also been opened by police against the python's owner for negligence. While the snake is not poisonous, as we know from the previous python story, they do have the habit of strangling small prey to death, especially at night. 

 

Local police apparently have assured residents: Locals have no reason for fear because the animal isn't dangerous and because it would have been difficult for the animal to leave the zone (around the house where it left). 

 

However, anyone spotting the python, who looks pretty much like the photos above and below, is advised to immediately contact authorities.

Leonardo diCaprio spotted flying on vacation in Ibiza

Leonardo DiCaprio was enjoying a vacation on a yacht in Ibiza in the Spanish Balearic Islands last week.

While there, he tried out a Flyboard, which is a wakeboard connected to turbines and jets, propelling him high into the air.  

Someone was lucky enough to catch him on camera, as you can see...

38-year-old DiCaprio was having fun in the sun with a few friends and his new 21-year-old girlfriend, German model Toni Garrn.
