The world's latest theme park is dedicated to ...

what is meant to be the most intimate expression of conjugal love.

According to a BBC report, London's latest tourist attraction is the Amora - Academy of Sex and Relationships, which hopes to becomes the European equivalent of the infamous Kinsey Institute for generations X and Y. Its purpose is to "separate fact from myth and educate everyone into being better lovers", and all for just £15. Visitors will be able to touch erogenous zones on life-sized silicone models, build their ideal partner, discover the truth about love and learn about the dangers of unsafe sex. Now what must be emphasized is that this is not just a theme park but a research institute as well, so visitors should probably except to be approached by someone with a clipboard and asked to take a quick ten minute survey.

I might have expected this in Holland or Brazil, maybe even the USA, since it has just about every other form of theme park, but England. Oh well, at least the founders have refused financial support from the sex industry, on the grounds they do not want to appear sleazy, and entry will be restricted to people over 18.

O Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God and our most gentle Queen and Mother, look down in mercy upon England thy "Dowry" and upon us all who greatly hope and trust in thee. By thee it was that Jesus our Saviour and our hope was given unto the world; and He has given thee to us that we might hope still more. Plead for us thy children, whom thou didst receive and accept at the foot of the Cross, O sorrowful Mother. Intercede for our separated brethren, that with us in the one true fold they may be united to the supreme Shepherd, the Vicar of thy Son. Pray for us all, dear Mother, that by faith fruitful in good works we may all deserve to see and praise God, together with thee, in our heavenly home. Amen.

[Unfortunately there is no online version of the Litany of Intercession for England. However since this is an offence against chastity, modesty and purity, who better to invoke than the model of these virtues.]
