This week's question:

Jenny Chang / BuzzFeed

Hello BuzzFeed,

First things first, I enjoy these Q&A's a lot, since I am not very experienced in the area, and I feel as if they help wonders :) Thank you.

I have sparked an interest in WAM (wet and messy fetish), which may involve different food/sloppy items poured/smashed/thrown at people. I would like to try it, but I am afraid if, as a woman, it might be dangerous to try.

Would playing with food nearby my vagina cause any harm? Such as yeast infections? If it might, would avoiding those areas and only sticking to playing with the face/breasts/feet be better? Or is it still dangerous?

I've seen several people into this fetish, and they seem to be alright. I'm aware it might cause eye irritation, but that depends on the person and how they deal with it.

Additionally, would using a food item as lube be alright?

Thanks,
Anonymous

Hey, Anonymous! Thanks so much for sending along your question. To help answer it, we spoke with Dr. Jen Gunter, board-certified OB-GYN, and Mistress Shae Flanigan, BDSM educator and alternative lifestyle coach. Here's what they had to say:

First let's talk about what wet and messy fetish (WAM) is and what it entails.

First let's talk about what wet and messy fetish (WAM) is and what it entails.

As you mentioned, WAM is a fetish that involves covering someone in food (or getting covered in food) and other sticky, slimy, messy, gooey substances. It mostly involves things like pies, cakes, whipped cream and shaving cream — and usually directly to the face, says Flanigan. But sometimes WAM is looped into another fetish called sploshing, which also fits what you're describing.

"Sploshing is playing with sensation using food," says Flanigan. "You can create different sensations — a sticky texture, slippery textures, foods with intoxicating smells — and each one layers on top of each other to create this symphony." She describes it as a sexy art form where you basically transform someone's naked body into a palette and use food to build various titillating sensations.

According to UMD.net (a web forum dedicated to these fetishes), WAM and sploshing can including slathering foods on someone (while clothed or unclothed), food fights, mud wresting, messy sex, and even dunk tanks. But obviously these things — like any type of unique sex play — exist on a spectrum and can vary depending on the people playing. You can be into certain parts of it and not others, or you can be into a lot of it but just not refer to it as this.

After Sanctions, Cisco Altered Sales Records In Russia

0
0

After Western sanctions began shutting down sales of high-tech internet equipment to Russia’s military and security forces, employees at technology giant Cisco Systems Inc. altered sales records and booked deals under a false customer name, according to internal company documents. The intent, according to a confidential source with deep knowledge of Cisco’s Moscow operations, was to dodge the sanctions by masking the true customers behind more innocuous-sounding straw buyers.

In at least one case, the source said, Cisco employees succeeded in actually providing equipment — including sophisticated internet switches — to the feared FSB, the successor to the Soviet-era KGB.

Top officials at Cisco, one of America’s most prestigious and innovative companies, valued at more than $151 billion, vehemently denied the allegations. Cisco did not violate sanctions or attempt to do so, they said.

Cisco officials didn’t dispute the authenticity of the internal emails and spreadsheets obtained by BuzzFeed News. Instead, speaking on condition of anonymity in lengthy phone briefings, the Cisco officials acknowledged that the buyer name on some accounts was incorrect but said those were innocent and harmless errors. When records were changed, they said, the intent was only to be more accurate, not to conceal the real buyer.

In the case of the alleged FSB deal, officials said the equipment had not gone to the security service but to a civilian ministry. Cisco is “in complete compliance with the US and EU sanctions on Russia,” spokesperson Nigel Glennie said in a brief written statement.

Still, once sanctions were imposed, top Cisco management tried hard, internal emails show, to find a legal way to keep some products flowing to Russia — even though doing so posed a “risk to our brand and reputation,” as a Cisco vice president put it.

Russia and the West are locked in their most hostile standoff since the Cold War. And Cisco's Moscow office is reeling from an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission into allegations of a massive kickback scheme first revealed by BuzzFeed News last year.

According to the new allegations, which also concern the same Moscow office, employees tried a number of tactics to escape the sanctions, imposed by the United States and the European Union last year after Russia annexed Crimea and fomented conflict in eastern Ukraine. The sanctions prohibit Western companies from selling “dual-use technology” — civilian technology that could also have military applications — to “military end-users.” Much of Cisco’s equipment is deemed dual use, and in early October the company canceled deals worth $1.7 million.

In one case, the source said, Cisco canceled a deal to sell an internet network to the FSB. Employees then replaced it, he said, with two similar deals to the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation — but the true end user remained the security service.

The source said that the Chamber of Commerce was sometimes used as a ghost buyer to facilitate other sales to agencies that could not buy Cisco equipment legally. Internal company records indicate that Cisco booked at least seven deals over six months to sell a total of more than $500,000 worth of equipment such as routers, switches, and servers to the chamber.

“This is strange,” Olga Litvinenko, the chamber’s spokesperson, wrote in an email to BuzzFeed News. The chamber, she said, made no major purchases of technology from Cisco — nor did it make purchases on behalf of other companies or agencies. “We are not a commercial organization which purchases big things, we do not purchase anything besides office supplies,” she wrote.

Cisco officials said that because of an issue with its sales-tracking software, some deals recorded as being for Chamber of Commerce were, in fact, for the Russian government’s Ministry of Industry and Trade. But, Cisco officials said, the chamber deals did not send equipment to the FSB or other banned agencies.

In other cases, employees changed the name of the customer from the Ministry of Defense or the Russian space agency to a company. The purpose, according to the source, was to hide the true buyer. (Because of its close connection to the Russian military, some sales to the space agency were barred under the sanctions.)

Cisco officials said the changes simply made the records more precise. They also said one of those deals did not go through, proving the system worked, and the other was approved as legal.

RUSSIA OFFICE

In the company’s Moscow office, according to the source and two former Cisco executives, some employees engaged in various deceptive practices. One reason, they said, is that Cisco puts tremendous pressure on sales officials in Russia to conclude deals. “Cisco is a tough company,” the source said. “If you don’t sell, get out.”

For years, Cisco’s Moscow office deployed kickbacks to win business, according to the two former executives. In 2013, a whistleblower approached the Securities and Exchange Commission, according to a source close to the investigation, alleging a violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and prompting an investigation by U.S. authorities. Cisco disclosed in federal filings that it had been asked by the SEC and Justice Department to investigate the allegations itself. But BuzzFeed News was the first to publicly detail how the alleged kickback scheme worked. BuzzFeed News has since learned that federal agents are interviewing high-level current and former Cisco officials. The Justice Department and the SEC declined to comment.

Even before the current sanctions, according to one of the former Cisco executives, employees in the Moscow office sometimes concealed sensitive buyers behind innocent-sounding straw purchasers. Some sales to the Russian military required special permission from the U.S. State Department. So, he said, the sales team would relabel the end user as a “military hospital,” which would draw less scrutiny. “We used this account for accounts that would need State Department certificates,” he said.

A corporate official in San Jose, California, said he was unfamiliar with this alleged practice: “We don’t have any information, zero, about the types of allegations that you’re bringing.”

After the sanctions were imposed, salespeople came under pressure not only because they needed to make money, according to the source, but also because their Russian government customers insisted on obtaining Cisco’s computer equipment. “The ministries,” he said, “they can’t understand how they cannot get this equipment. ‘Find a way we can get this shipment. We need this.’ So the sales guy needs a scheme to sell there.”

One Cisco sales account manager’s name is on all of the deals recounted in this story. Reached by phone on several occasions, he offered scant information, declined to discuss the deals in detail, and always hung up hastily. The source said this deal manager did not act alone but is part of a sales team that handles the military and intelligence accounts, he said.

Indeed, the source and the two former Cisco executives said that the company’s salespeople often attempt to game Cisco’s compliance system in Russia, which they said is flawed and pro-forma.

“Management understands that corruption exists,” said the source, “but they can’t check this stuff. Cisco can’t stop it. If they remove the corruption to stop it, business will stop.” One of the former Cisco executives said it’s been that way for years and that the company's oversight efforts in Russia are outmaneuvered. “Auditors are like blind people,” he said. “They can’t go in and check” agencies such as the FSB or the defense ministry.

Cisco says its methods work. “We have a sterling 30 year record of compliance with export and sanctions rules around the world,” Cisco spokesman Glennie wrote in his statement.

Cisco officials said the company can track equipment because users provide certificates that establish they are not military and because customers make service requests when they need help, allowing Cisco to know who is using its products.

The company also said it lowered quotas for salespeople in Russia after sanctions, reducing the pressure to sell.

TIMELINE OF A DEAL

Last year, after Russian forces annexed Crimea amid international outcries, and eastern Ukraine collapsed into war, sales officials at Cisco continued to provide hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of high tech equipment to Russia’s military and security agencies, according to the internal sales records reviewed by BuzzFeed News. No sanctions had been imposed yet, and those deals were legal. “We sell to those we are allowed to sell to,” a company official said.

In late June 2014 the company had an agreement to sell equipment including servers and processors to the training academy of the FSB. Russian President Vladimir Putin himself was an agent in the KGB, the FSB’s Soviet predecessor. The FSB has helped solidify Putin’s power and is thought to play a crucial role in Russia’s covert operations in Ukraine.

As with almost all its deals in Russia, Cisco did not sell directly to the end user but instead to an intermediary company called a “partner.” In this case, the partner was Terminal Mospromstroi, referred to throughout Cisco’s internal records as PIK Terminal. That company, according to Cisco’s internal records, would then supply the equipment to the FSB academy. Indeed, PIK Terminal states on its web site that it has a subcontract to sell equipment to the FSB academy.

According to Cisco records, the IT giant would get paid $105,129.92.

But doing business with the FSB was about to get a lot more complicated. On July 17, Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 was shot out of the sky, scattering almost 300 bodies across rural Ukraine. Evidence piled up that Russian-backed rebels had fired the fatal missile. By the end of the month, the U.S. and Europe tried to isolate the Putin regime by ratcheting up sanctions, including restrictions on “dual-use” technology to Russian “military end-users.”

In September, the European Union screwed the sanctions even tighter. For Cisco, the European action was key because the company’s sales to Russia are routed through a Netherlands subsidiary, making them subject to EU sanctions.

In early October, a month after the tough new European sanctions were announced, Cisco canceled a slew of deals with buyers such as the Ministry of Defense, the border guards, and the Tactical Missiles Corporation.

Also canceled was the order to the FSB academy, according to internal Cisco records, the source, and the Cisco officials.

But internal company records show that on Oct. 17, there were two new Cisco deals, in which many details matched the forbidden FSB transaction. It was the same Cisco account manager. The intermediary was the same: PIK Terminal. The email address for the billing payment was the same. The list of equipment was similar, though some items were ordered in larger quantities and the total price was higher.

The biggest difference: The end user listed in Cisco records was no longer the FSB Academy. Instead, it was the Russian Chamber of Commerce, an innocuous civilian organization meant to represent the interests of Russian companies. The source said that’s exactly why the chamber was listed as the end user — because it has no military purpose that could draw the attention of Western authorities.

Cisco records show that these two Chamber of Commerce deals went forward, with at least $142,000 worth of equipment shipped out late last year and early this year. The shipment included sophisticated switches and accessories in amounts identical to those in the original FSB deal.

The FSB did not respond to a request for comment.

After BuzzFeed News provided Cisco with internal identification numbers for the original FSB deal and one of the alleged replacement Chamber deals, company officials said that the chamber deal had been named in error in its sales tracking system. But they said the shipment did not go to the FSB.

Instead, the company said the equipment went to an entirely different agency, the Ministry of Industry and Trade. This ministry, they said, was sometimes mistakenly labeled “Chamber of Commerce” because of an “issue” with the sales-tracking software Cisco uses. Cisco said that issue dated back to 2013 and that it fixed it in December 2014.

“This wasn’t done as Chamber of Commerce because of some nefarious plot,” an official told BuzzFeed News. I agree it is confusing about the names. But it never had anything to do with sanctions, and it never resulted in a violation of sanctions.”

When given the identification number for the second Chamber of Commerce deal that allegedly replaced the FSB deal, Cisco declined to further comment on those transactions. A company spokesperson said company officials had been cooperative and that its conversations with BuzzFeed News had reached an “unproductive pattern.”

The middleman on both the FSB deal and the two Chamber of Commerce deals was PIK Terminal. A PIK Terminal project manager on the FSB deal told BuzzFeed News that the equipment from the Chamber of Commerce deals was installed at the Ministry of Trade and Industry. She also said that in the second week of May — after BuzzFeed News had already asked Cisco for its explanation of these transactions — someone from Cisco asked her to send a letter certifying that the purported Chamber of Commerce equipment was really for the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

When told of the PIK Terminal interview, Cisco officials in San Jose said they were surprised. They acknowledged that Cisco had reached out to PIK Terminal to get to the bottom of BuzzFeed News’ questions, but said they had no idea who at the company would have asked for the letter. Still, they said, it was not a concern because the letter would merely state where the equipment had actually ended up.

More broadly, documents show that the Chamber of Commerce was listed as a customer regularly. The source with deep knowledge of Cisco’s Moscow operation says that’s because Moscow salespeople used the organization as an unwitting straw buyer not just for the FSB transaction but also for others. “Banned accounts are routed through the Chamber of Commerce,” the source said. “The Chamber of Commerce is used as a big fake customer.”

But Cisco officials said that the sales records glitch had accidentally and harmlessly listed the Chamber of Commerce as a customer in a number of cases, even though the real customer was the Ministry of Industry and Trade. That ministry, the company said, has no military functions and is not subject to sanctions.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade, contacted last week for comment, did not respond.

BuzzFeed News reviewed several sets of internal Cisco sales records that contain the Chamber of Commerce name. One set listed $500,000 in bookings with the Chamber of Commerce. In total these are made up of seven deals that go through various middlemen. The records don’t make clear who the ultimate customers were.

The Concern Agat website

Concern Agat / Via concern-agat.ru

But in a separate sales tracking system, some “Chamber of Commerce” deals appeared to have customers linked to the military. In one case, the end user was the company Concern Agat, a conglomerate that makes naval equipment. In another, it was Concern Vega, a firm that makes radar and intelligence equipment and that was established by presidential decree under Putin. The source said the chamber’s name was added to these accounts give those military companies a civilian veneer.

Cisco said those particular deals did not go through. And in any case, the company said, it has received “end user certificates” from both Agat and Vega stating that the technology would not be used for military purposes, and that the Dutch authorities have allowed other deals with these companies to go through. “They do make military items but not solely,” said a company official.

Concern Agat and Concern Vega did not respond to emails and phone calls.

As for the Chamber of Commerce, not only did it find it “strange” that it was listed as a substantial customer of Cisco, but “we are not a structure that sells or buys goods, commodities or technologies,” spokesperson Litvinenko said. “Our members do, but we have absolutely no control of their commercial activities.”

How Emily Blunt, Shu Qi, And Patrick Stewart Kicked Ass At Cannes

0
0

Chang Chen in The Assassin

The Cannes Film Festival isn't the first or even the 20th place you'd think to look for kick-ass action fare. But this year, Cannes showed off a solid if quirky hard-charging streak, seen at its most epic in Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron hosing off the wasteland grit and war grease to walk the red carpet in designer gear for Mad Max: Fury Road. George Miller's Mel Gibson-free return to the Mad Max franchise 30 years after its last installment has become a solid box office hit as well as a critical darling, and its presence at Cannes was a nice additional affirmation of just how good everyone agrees that Miller's eye-searing chase epic is. Artful direction can take many forms, including a high-speed melding of flesh and chrome at the end of the world.

But Mad Max: Fury Road is also already in theaters — old news! — in most of the world. Its fellow Cannes premiere Sicario isn't due out in the U.S. until September 18, carefully placed on the cusp of Oscar season. The performances merit it — a splendidly slouchy Josh Brolin as a government agent who's nothing but trouble in a pair of flip flops, an equally showy Benicio Del Toro as his mysterious and hyper-competent contractor, and Emily Blunt in a more nuanced but also more thankless observer role as the Arizona FBI agent stuck repping the moral high ground.

In a crackerjack opening scene, Blunt and her task force partner (Daniel Kaluuya) raid a house outside of Phoenix where they believe hostages are being held by an encroaching tentacle of a Mexican cartel. They don't find hostages, but they do find dozens of bodies sealed up in the drywall, a horrifying discovery that's followed by an even worse one for those at the scene. There's something as apocalyptic to the sequence as Fury Road's use of a person as a "blood bag." It's a nightmare tucked away in a mundane suburb, and that feeling of invading darkness is one the film tries to sustain, with less success, as Blunt's character is recruited by Brolin's for a mission she's told almost nothing about.

Sicario

Richard Foreman, Jr. / Lionsgate

Sicario comes from French-Canadian filmmaker Denis Villeneuve, who recently became attached to direct Blade Runner 2, and who has excelled in creating slightly heightened, slightly larger-than-life realities. There was the abstract raggedness of the Pennsylvania suburb in which Prisoners' morality tale played out, the scarring grandeur of the unnamed Middle Eastern war in Incendies, and the more obvious surreality of Enemy.

Sicario is set in a landscape that feels a touch removed too, a U.S. border where the cartel situation is escalating into something unimaginable, and a task force that turns out to have an extreme approach to the problem. It strives for the procedural tension of Zero Dark Thirty and the mythic weight of No Country For Old Men, and it brings to mind the Coens' film in other ways — Brolin's presence, Roger Deakins' elegantly yellowed cinematography, and a closing statement on the worsening state of the world.

The last isn't really earned, and the movie's underlying cynicism doesn't come off as profound so much as overly dour, especially when a character is advised to move away to a small town where the rule of law still applies, provoking a viewer to think, this person lives in Phoenix. Sicario is, nevertheless, gorgeously made, with a set piece taking place in tunnels underneath the border that conveys chaos without ever looking incoherent and a throbbing Jóhann Jóhannsson score that's the sound of very bad things on the horizon.

Sicario may be pretty, but looks-wise, it's got nothing on another Cannes competition title, The Assassin, which won Taiwanese filmmaker Hou Hsiao-hsien a Best Director award and which many thought was the main contender for the festival's big prize, the Palme d'Or. The combo of the wuxia genre and a filmmaker famous for making understated, meditative work is an odd one, and The Assassin has the framework of a martial arts movie while rarely getting around to actual martial arts — the fights, when they happen, occur in brief, efficient flashes of action, staged as if the characters were more interested in actually killing each other than entertaining an audience.

The film, which will be released in the U.S. by Well Go, reunites Shu Qi and Chang Chen, who played lovers across eras in Hou's earlier film Three Times, but here they are at odds — Shu's an assassin and Chang is the lord and former fiancé she's been sent to kill. It's 9th-century China, and there's court and political intrigue, all so opaquely outlined that it's difficult to figure out what's on any of the characters' minds at any given time, particularly the impassive, black-clad killer played by Shu. But oh, it's so lovely, from the brocade draped interiors to the mist moving over a landscape in the half light, like a series of confounding paintings placed end to end.

Emily Blunt in Sicario

Richard Foreman, Jr. / Lionsgate

There's no mystery to be sorted in Green Room, a punks vs. neo-Nazis movie that premiered in the Directors' Fortnight section and follows a bloody survival struggle out in the Oregon woods. It's the latest from American indie filmmaker Jeremy Saulnier, and expands on the approach to violence Saulnier used so well in his last movie, Blue Ruin. He portrays it as carried out by people who have little experience with it and no idea what they're doing, and who are horrified by the mess and awfulness of what they've been driven to do. It's a joltingly effective way to make action and gore feel fresh and distressing, insisting on an awareness of the vulnerable physicality of everyone on screen — especially when one of them is getting his throat torn out by a trained attack dog.

Saulnier's main characters, a band called the Ain't Rights made up of Anton Yelchin, Alia Shawkat, Callum Turner, and Joe Cole, score a makeup gig at a remote venue that's outside of their comfort zone, skinhead-wise, but promises to provide some much-needed dough to keep their tour going. They're the kind of kids whose idea of aggression is expressed through their opening their set with a cover of the Dead Kennedys "Nazi Punks Fuck Off." But when one of them walks in on a murder and it becomes clear that no one else is interested in calling the cops, the four end up barricaded in the green room with the dead girl's friend (Imogen Poots). Then the club owner and local white-supremacist leader (Patrick Stewart!) turns up, and everything escalates into guerrilla warfare as carried out by people whose only previous brush with it was at a paintball party.

Benicio Del Toro in Sicario

Richard Foreman, Jr. / Lionsgate

It's ingenious, witty, disturbing fun, lead by a show-stealing Poots as the one member of the green room group who understands from the start just how deep the shit that they're in is. The movie's especially good at puncturing the hardcore airs of its baddies, some of whom aren't any more battle-hardened than the people they're fighting, despite the tough-guy stances. Green Room, which doesn't yet have a U.S. distributor, delivers hard-won jolts by actually treating its characters like flesh and blood humans who have no idea what they're doing, but who are figuring it out — after all, their lives depend on it.
