How about that? I suppose this thread can go in 2 directions - take whichever you please. On one hand, there's the issue of Greece's determinacy to be involved in people's private lives. Seems to me these were all consenting adults, so I'm not sure what the issue should be (although I know what the issue is). The drugs were mentioned as an afterthought so I'm not sure if that's a reflection of media focus or the actual focus of the Greek authorities. To be honest, having heard so many things about Greece and some of their crazy laws (how about that British teen who was held in jail for something like 30 days for flashing at a club?) I don't find it unbelievable that they're more outraged by the orgy than the drugs.
Of course, then there's the other direction. Would you take place in a 100 person orgy?  Entering into fantasy land, what if it was very well prepared and everyone was tested and clean?
Overall, I find this more funny than anything else. The quotes from the authorities are priceless. Oh yeah, and the first person to find the leaked photographs gets an imaginary cookie

I'm a geography Nazi and I just want to clarify something. This concerns the CYPRIOT government, not the Greek government, as you mistakenly said. The island of Cyprus is divided into two de facto nations-one populated by ethnic Greeks, and the other by ethnic Turks. The Greek Cypriot nation is a lot larger, more populous, and more prosperous, and a large part of that prosperity is derived from tourism. It has never been a part of modern Greece, but is very Greek in culture. The only country that recognizes Turkish Cypriot independence is (you guessed it) TURKEY. /end rant.
This in no way takes away from the interest of the article.
