“… This amateur self-made porn might be called organic porn, or fair trade porn, which lacks the commercial aspect. It is voluntary and it’s free. Finland has several websites that distribute erotic pictures sent in by members – sites such as alastonsuomi.com, omakuva.org, and nakusuomi.com. Alastonsuomi.com alone has 60,000 registered users, according to the webmaster. Each of them has had to upload a picture of him, or herself.”

“The Trick and The Trickmaker: He creates art without hands… This man could be the sensation of Christmas card market! Antero Korpela is one of those artists who create art without their hands. Finnish people, in tune with the spirit of Christmas, have always rushed to buy Christmas cards made without hands. The disabled artists who hold the brush in their mouths or in between their toes have gained from people the support they rightfully deserve. But Antero Korpela doesn’t paint even with his mouth or toes. With what then? Text: Timo Teerioksa. Photography: Ossi Suonperä.”

“The Trick and the Trickmaker: He farts flames! Kaarlo Virtanen has received in his genes peculiarly forceful farts. However, he didn’t destroy his life because of those powerful blows like his uncle Valdemar did. Kaarlo developed for himself out of that inherited flatulence an excellent and rare hobby. He farts flames. It’s his party trick. Text: Arto Koli. Photography: Taisto Koskela.”
Ratto magazine was especially notorious for this sort of “journalism”. A headline off Ratto, mid-1970s: “A morning of Alpo Niiranen — they had painted his balls and pissed to his mouth!”
