December 3, 2016 – Paramedics were called several times last night to a huge house party hosted by self-proclaimed Gold Coast playboy Travers Beynon.

Three people were treated for possible drug or alcohol related problems, while a woman in her 20s suffered head and neck pain after falling from a dance podium at the riverfront mansion in Helensvale.

A 27-year-old man suffered cuts from window glass and a 23-year-old woman was bitten by a white-tailed spider.

Police also attended the address after a noise complaint.

Mr Beynon holds annual, lavish parties at what he calls his Candyshop Mansion, this year’s theme was ”seven deadly sins”.

As well as DJs, fireworks, and bikini-clad models flown in from interstate, the party had a VIP room and an outdoor stage flanked by a large LED screen.

“It was a festival on steroids,” one party-goers said.

‘It certainly was a freak show’

Neighbors, however, were taken aback

“It certainly was a freak show on the road out front after the party when the seven deadly sin themed crew were waiting for their Uber cars,” he said.

The flamboyant tobacco baron, who owns the Freechoice chain, is also known for posting photos on social media of himself posing with scantily clad women.

Mr Beynon’s publicist said he was developing a reputation as the next Hugh Hefner, the well-known American adult magazine publisher.

The 7 Deadly Sins

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_deadly_sins/
According to the standard list, they are pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth,[2] which are also contrary to the seven virtues. These sins are often thought to be abuses or excessive versions of one's natural faculties or passions (for example, gluttony abuses one's desire to eat).

The 7 Virtues

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_virtues/
In the Catholic catechism, the seven Christian virtues or heavenly virtues refers to the union of two sets of virtues: from ancient Greek philosophy, are prudence, justice, temperance (meaning restriction or restraint), and courage (or fortitude); and the three theological virtues, from the letters of Saint Paul of Tarsus, are faith, hope, and charity (or love). These were adopted by the Church Fathers as the seven virtues.

A concept of seven deadly sins provides didactic contrast.

I wasn't sure which forum to post this in?
I'm not Roman Catholic-  So, I wasn't sure what "The 7 Deadly Sins" or "The 7 Virtues" are.

Now...
I may need some Priests, Pastors and Rabbis and Google as back up.
 

Learn something and laugh at yourself everyday, I guess...

Holy Moly!

I'm Catholic and I have no idea what the 7 deadly sins are. I know what the 10 commandments are, but I only agree with 8 of those.

that one about not looking at your neihbor's wife... come on, really.. that's a sin ?

And who amongst us has not clipped a candy bar or batteries from time to time.

I don't think they are sacrificing vegetables for salads. Do you?

Just fyi, the commandment about neighbor's wife isn't against LOOKING at her, it's against COVETING her. Very different concept. Not sure it rises to the level of being one of ONLY ten pronouncements from a god, but it's still a good thing to not do.

The nonsense that led to this thread, looks like common every day excessive self-indulgence by rich hedonists. That kind of stuff goes back at least to the Greeks and Romans of ancient times. Probably before that too, but we don't have preserved writings about the earlier ones.

So...no one actually died?
Then they must have done the sins wrong and should go back and keep trying until they get them right.
There's only one Darwin Award.
No need to keep track of lists of sins and virtues.

Lighten up.. would ya, ..go out.. enjoy the fresh air for awhile.. meet people.

must have been an only child..

And esqualating and spreading like a disease

Upstarts...

In the 1980s & 1990s,
most of us, would have been headliners in the
media coverage of a party like that.
