Asian News International
London, September 21
This year's Munich popular Oktoberfest beer festival has turned out to be the bawdiest ever, with some of the female participants revealing more than normal after a couple of beers and some sausages.
"It's true, the first weekend proved one of the bawdiest ever, with many an exposed nipple as well as the huge quantities of beer consumed," Germany's Express newspaper quoted a spokesman for the fest as saying.
Around one million revellers reportedly stormed the beer tents on the first weekend alone, consuming 560,000 large Bavarian beers.
Many women reportedly lifted their shirts to flash their breasts for fun and police had to intervene to keep the crowds from trampling each other.
"It was a wonderful first weekend. The atmosphere is very carefree," the report quoted organiser Gabriele Weishaeupl as saying.

Ok,Doc said:
If the Tattslotto comes through this weekend, I'm hiring a charter jet and going to Munich - its been too long since I was last there and I'm getting withdrawals just thinking about it.
Who wants a lift?!
I can't drink Bavarians on my own fellas - besides there's a pretty good chance that the Oz cricket team will be there drowning their sorrows! :chug: Cheers,

Fraud at Munich Oktoberfest
AFP, MUNICH, GERMANY
German police said they seized some 30,000 fake tokens used for buying beer at the Oktoberfest, which could have cost the world's biggest beer festival nearly half a million dollars.
A 33-year-old man from the former Yugoslavia was arrested on suspicion of making the counterfeit tokens, which are used for buying a Mass, or liter, of beer at three of the giant tents at the fairgrounds in the southern city of Munich.
His 50-year-old alleged accomplice was released after questioning.
Police said they could not rule out that twice as many tokens, which are often given to staff as gifts by their employers, had been made.
The scam was exposed Monday when two students who had bought the fakes and tried to sell them were caught by police.
"This is my 20th Oktoberfest by I've never seen a crime of this scale," the the head of the festival, Gabriele Weishaeupl, said.
Police suspect that a professional counterfeiting operation based in the former Yugoslavia was behind the pyramid-style scheme.
The counterfeiters sold the tokens for 3.50 euros (4.2 dollars) each to middlemen, who sold them for four euros. Festival goers paid a price of five euros for them, nevertheless a discount of two euros on the usual price.
The Oktoberfest runs to October 3 and is expected to attract some six million visitors.
