NEW YORK, Aug. 4 (UPI) -- The emergence of a naked firefighter in a
lurid video has prompted a ban against New York City Firefighters
making any more beefcake calendars.
Future editions of the wildly popular FDNY calendar, which last year
raised more than $150,000 for the department, were banned Friday by
Fire Commissioner Nicholas Scoppetta.
Scoppetta acted after a "Guys Gone Wild" video emerged of firefighter
Michael Biserta, 22, stripping naked before several enthusiastic women
in 2004, The New York Daily News reported Saturday.
Biserta, a second-year firefighter in Brooklyn, posed shirtless before
the Statue of Liberty in the 2008 "Calendar of Heroes." The 2008 FDNY
calendar, featuring Biserta will remain on store shelves, will be the
last "Heroes" calendar published, Scoppetta said.
Biserta joined the FDNY after the video was filmed and, therefore,
will not face any discipline, The Daily News reported.

A recent study found the average American walks about 900 miles per year.
Another study found Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of beer a
year.
That means, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon.
