Sure you do. Now it has inspired a real cinematic short film! In this way we contribute to the arts.

The writer, Cami Delavigne, explains:

HATCHET MAN is short film is about a guy who fires people and then has to fire himself because he shot a couple screwing in the office and sent it to a friend who blasted it on the Internet. I was inspired in particular by your funny comments on the lackluster sex. As a freelancer at BBDO, I know firsthand that the tape was shocking only until your Gawker article allowed everyone to admit that it looked like a pretty bad lay. I enjoyed writing that voice in the Boss and the lonely hero who thinks the sex is exciting and dirty.

Matt Boren (MOMMA'S MAN) stars with a cameo by Billy Warlock ("Baywatch"). Phil Manley of Trans Am did the score. And oh, we are the only people in the Netflix contest that chose to shoot a separate short film to represent our feature. All the others pieced together trailers. We also followed the rules and only submitted a one sentence description of the film, whereas others gave dissertations. Hence, we confuse people. But I still really love the film. So thanks.

Thank you, filmmakers! You can go and register your support for this (and future) blog-sex-scandal-to-Hollywood films at NetflixFindYourVoice.com. We haven't watched the other contestants but as far as we know they're not based on surreptitiously recorded cell phone video of ad execs fucking, so screw em.

<![CDATA[Ad Agency Sex Tape Staffers Fired?]]> Agency Spy has heard that the two ad agency staffers caught in flagrate delicto on the infamous Ad Agency Sex Tape last week have been fired. They also note the widespread rumor that the ad agency in question is Atmosphere BBDO. The agency declined to comment to us. In an anonymous interview last week, a man claiming to be the cameraman of the sex tape said he was fired for filming it. We're working on confirming the truth of all this for you—more information TK.

<![CDATA[The Best (?) Of The Sex Tape Turkey Puns]]> Yesterday when we posted the infamous ad agency sex tape, our video department thoughtfully censored the clip by superimposing a Thanksgiving turkey over the center of the action. This led to a smorgasboard (HEH) of Thanksgiving-themed jokes in the comments. So in honor of our peerless commenters, and because it's the afternoon before Thanksgiving, we're posting the best (?) below. Vote in the comments for the one that makes you groan the least:

I'll have the drumstick.

Turkey baster.

Plenty of white meat to go around, I see.

Mmmmm, Tur-Fuckin'!

Stuffing?

Mmmmm, missionary meat

(Un)dressing, more like.

Right after I roast the chestnuts.

Cram-berries.

That ain't giblet gravy.

Don't get those hot nuts in your cherry pie!

Butter.Ball.

He's mashing his sweet potato.

Oh, good. Remember to give it a good soaking overnight so that it cooks up all juicy and tender. It tastes best when juicy and tender. When slicing, apply the slightest downward then lateral thrust; the juices should help facilitate a nice, fluid motion. Repeat as needed, or until you've messed your apron.

You just have to be careful of rack burns when you're sliding the turkey out of the hot oven.

"Turkey grundle" is the term of the day.

I think he just had his yams candied.

No fighting over that wishbone...

<![CDATA[The Cameraman Speaks: He's Fired, But the Sex Tape Couple Keep Their Jobs]]> The ad agency employee who filmed two of his coworkers screwing in the office is obviously not shy (notwithstanding the end of his infamous video clip, where he runs away). He's keeping his name anonymous, but other than that he seems happy to talk. If you believe the claims of people using pseudonyms, the intrepid cameraman was chattering away in the comments section at Agency Spy; he emailed us yesterday, (Correction: the person who emailed us was a distributor of the clip, not the cameraman), saying "It's been a very fun 48 hours"; and he gave an interview to Asylum about how his cinematic work got him (unjustly?) fired:

He says that late Friday afternoon, he and two coworkers gathered around to watch these people fucking in the office. He was recording the clip on his cell phone, and the other two were taking photos.

And how did the video get out?
I showed a couple of officemates on my phone and everyone was shocked and awed. I downloaded it to my computer and sent it on to two other co-workers and that was all the digital distribution I did and it just went viral from there. And a week later it ended up on Gawker and Mediabistro and then the word got back to me that all the creatives were sending it around. I freaked. I thought it was amazing how something could go viral and end up online so quickly when I had nothing to do with it really.

Huh. It is true that this guy did not send us the video; it is not true that he "had nothing to do with it," since he recorded it. Anyhow, HR tracked him down and fired him.

What about the people who were having sex in the office?
They still work there. I think it's wrong. I don't see why I should get canned and not the ones who were doing the deed. But my plan is just to keep on trucking and find another job. My true goal is to join an agency as an art director.

So here's the part where we say, hey, what do you people think, fair or unfair? Seems to me like fucking in the office and recording someone fucking in the office are equally bad (or harmless) and should cancel each other out, so everyone should have just continued on as if it never happened.
