The Germans have apparently accepted the Sardos Tuesday Night Porno Karaoke challenge and have gone one step better.

According to an AP story, Germans are likewise screaming, moaning, and panting for the latest nightlife craze: porno karaoke. Except theirs has an edge.

Film producers Satt und Durstig organized a premiere in Berlin last month after a successful test run in the northern city of Hamburg, and the trend has already spawned imitators in other major cities.

Porno karaoke is similar to traditional karaoke – but, instead of standing in for Whitney Houston or Frank Sinatra, contestants belt out the soundtracks of adult movie stars.

Players pair off in male-female teams as an XXX film is loaded into the projector. With the sound turned off, each duo is handed two microphones, and has one minute to provide the aural fireworks for the action on the screen.

The crowd, which tends to find the show more comic than erotic, then chooses the couple that has given the most convincing, creative, and ecstatic performance of faking an orgasm before hundreds of strangers.
