    "Sexually confused frat boys" ARE the US presence abroad; since when has this been news to anyone? Oh right, the news has finally hit the US.

    Let's hope the next time CIA turns up some intel on a known terrorist group looking to bomb Manhattan they provide some nasty gay erotica to go with that, because otherwise no one will launch any investigation into the matter.

    Hmm, were these photos available anywhere else on the internet before Gawker posted? Because in a way that's to these frat soldiers' credit. To me, the trashiest part of the photo shoot was that they then posted them online and just didn't care who the hell saw them. If it turns out that they were somewhat responsible--totally trashy and tacky, but somewhat responsible, kept the photos to themselves--that changes the situation here a bit, no?

    @Steverino Begins:

    It never ceases to amaze me what people will post online. Especially on their facebook pages. I wouldn't be suprised if these pictures were on facebook.

    @Steverino Begins: No, I'm not convinced it does - anytime someone in the public employ drinks vodka out of the ass of another public employee and takes pictures of it, I don't care where they intend the pictures to end up.

    It doesn't matter what you intend- when you're on the job on the public dollar, we expect you to have some modicum of decorum. Which does not include the content of said photos, unless your role model is a gay Chris Cornell.

    @Party Pooper: If the photos were on Facebook then the boys screwed themselves (figuratively after doing it literally). Or were these just photographs lying around that POGO just found? Highly unlikely, I suppose.

    I really don't understand Facebook party photos and photo tagging and such. People do stupid shit and then are so excited to put it online and tag each other. Does not compute.

    3. We called POGO. They are lovely people. Could we see the pictures?

    4. Yes! They e-mailed us the pictures.

    5. They were gross, so we put them on the internet.

    6. Mayhem. Pointless media reflection like this.

    7. Televised Senate committee hearing to investigate ArmorGroup for these activities, complete with pictures, videos and distinguished members of the Senate asking about these alternative means of serving potato chips and vodka.

    Nothing quite breaks through the clutter on your screen like watching someone pour a vodka shot down someone's crack.

    ...a popular blog website....

    That comes from the world wide internet? Anyway. I'm glad Mediaite's being balls out about their association with MSNBC via Abrams; boldfaced jokes like that (also see: Fox News' "fair and balanced" tagline) are revolutionizing the art of bullshit one proto-euphemism at a time. High bars: being set.

    "...fraternity like behavior, but really that's an insult to fraternities across this nation."

    Oh, hon, you've not been around any frat boys in the last 20 years.

    Amazing that investigative journalists, as well as eager j-schoolers, are ripping out their hair figuring out what to do when no one is hiring, when it took merely a phone call and an email to get a story that immediately zoomed to the highest levels of government.

    Grade A work, Gawker. Less navel-gazing, more proaction please for the rest.

    I'd like to see the pictures of roadies doing lines off of Stevie Nicks' butt. I promise there will be a State Dept investigation if you post them.
