Our nuclear programmes are completely transparent. But we are ready to show greater transparency and make clear for the whole world that the steps of the Islamic Republic of Iran are completely within international frameworks. The sanctions are unfair, the Iranian people are suffering, and our (nuclear) activities are legal. These sanctions are illegal and only benefit Israel.

Porn stars offer sex acts to help Oklahoma tornado victims

Porn stars' offer to help Oklahoma tornado victims by auctioning off sex acts has angered internet users.

In the footage that was filmed at the Exxotica Porn Expo in Florida, adult stars Bonnie Rotten, Elodie Bang Bang and Joanna Angel can be seen pledging a series of x-rated encounters, the Sun reported.

However, the stars vented their anger towards viewers who branded the video tasteless.

YouTube user Tom Denman said that it was disgusting that the porn stars were making fun of a tragedy like that by offering deprived sexual acts under the guise of charity.

The clip was uploaded to vice.com by Chris Nieratko, who defended his video on the site, saying that that there is a joke to lighten the mood of, no matter how severe the situation might be.

He said that even he could feel the true sorrow for what the people of Oklahoma are going through, adding that if he could offer one thing other than money and clothes, it was the gift of laughter. (ANI)
