Winter is coming up fast, so we're reminiscing about one of this summer's hottest events: the Church Street Fetish Fair. Xtra.ca videographer Michael Pihach donned his finest leather outfit and hit the street to get flogged, give orders and get the scoop on the annual event. Check out his hilarious video report:

fetish fun
I just want to commend this reporter for producing such a fun & entertaining piece on the Church Street Fetish Fair. (The gay village is dying? Think again!) I've neverr been to this event, but I'll definietly be checking it out next year. It looks like so much fun!

Ed's note
Jay, Thanks for your comment. Youtube took the vid down. It won't say why. The naked butts? The slapping of said naked butts? Who knows? Check out Brent Creelman's piece on it http://bit.ly/1NjJJY

Youtube SUCKS!
I also have had problems on YouTube. Not only have they taken down my gay themed videos (without explanation) they have cancelled my sites. I keep opening new channels and they keep taking them down, without giving me a reason. I started posting videos on the NING network and have never had a problem there but few people see your videos on NING. It's more about sharing stuff with friends. If you guys want to check out my videos, (all gay themed, of course) you can go to www.mollywoodto.ning.com for general gay themed videos - comedy, documentaries, events, music, sexy men, wrestling, speedo boys and queer stuff. (not filmed by me) and www.mollywoodtoronto.ning.com for gay events around The Gay Village (Pride, Fetish Fair, sexy car wash) filmed by me.

Youtube's a censor
Whatever. But come on, how about some integrity about policies on access to content in the Wild West Web. E.g. Xtra.ca maintains a strict 'anti-outing' policy: I had catty comments about a kitten-loving cabinet minister removed, so I guess everyone's a censor when it suits their own purposes. Except Google - which is just confusing and all over the map. Google won't take down a horrendously racist image of Michelle Obama, but it will cooperate with the totalitarian Chinese government.
