I was in the hospital with a broken leg, still woozy from the pain meds, and when I came to the nurse was leaning over me. Then I realized, shocked, that my nurse was my wife's sister! My wife's very busty sister....
Because when you go to work for Penthouse Letters you know you're working for a classy organization concerned with the actualization and development of each and every employee.
@Hydroceph: No, actually i think the plaintiff should sue for everything she possibly can. I just don't think she should be surprised the allegations happened in the first place.
It must be really confusing to the not=so=smart porn workers (or Penthouse Pets or whatever their correct title is) what appropriate office behavior is. They make a living off of crossing boundaries, right? They may think that placing their breasts on someone's head is, um, playful? Fun? The numnut administrators running the office are another story! So glad Natalie Cedeno is suing them. Anyone seeking a Penthouse Pet or sex worker may want their boundaries crossed. People working on the corporate side, office employees etc., should be given the respect of our constitutional rights. When are these frat boys gonna grow up?
Really?! The 14th amendment protects citizens from sexual harrassment at a private workplace? I thought that was the jurisdiction of Civil Rights Act of 1964?
Hm, I thought the 14th Amend could only be applied to a sexual harrassment case when the employer or school was a state entity?
I was trying to make a crude joke (obviously unsuccessfully). Of course, there's no constitutional issue here because there's no state action. I was trying not to state that expressly because I thought you had captured it handsomely. Let's call the whole thing off.
YOU get you a big settlement Nat, and shove it up that scheming scum bag Bells flabby butt!
My girlfriends used to work at Various for many years and they just loved working for Nat and that other guy--the quiet one, can't ever remember his name. Anyway..
They were so cool and professional, none of this filthy nonsense began until that Marc guy took over. He ruined a perfectly good business with his smut.
I heard they hired pets to write the blogs, and well...it all went down hill after that. They couldn't even spell their own names and were humping the water coolers all day. I caught this little blond thing in the employee lounge riding the arm of the couch.
I said, "Gurl, what chu doin?" She said, "I thought it was a sybian horse."
All as they wanted to write about were plants.
Breast implants, penis transplants, and Norplants.
You don't give up Nat, they will try to bully you, but this is just abusive behavior and you deserve to be compensated for this extreme wrong-doing. Not to mention to help save the poor souls who are stuck working there now, with no hope of job change because of the economy.
When you look at that video of him popping out of that car with Penthouse hookers celebrating his self taking over Various, when he is supposed to be the father of children, or a respectable business person, what kind of message does he send to his very own daughter? How this scum can look in the mirror is beyond me!
That man must use drugs. We can not have a society of pimps thinking they are above the law just because they have cash in their pocket.
@sallyspuppy: You can't teach a monkey to play the oboe. No one that schmucky will learn. He/they have to be canned and wind up flipping burgers until their wives leave them for the pool boy.
I've been in the adult industry for over a decade and I've never worked at a place that would allow this sort of thing to go on. Here's the thing that most people don't realize about what goes on BEHIND the camera...the offices are staffed by normal people, with normal lives, who keep their clothes on and are just trying to do their job.
Now as it relates to Penthouse/AFF...those guys are scumbags who are probably the single biggest financier of piracy and content theft on the internet. They are considered leeches by most of the industry and most of us are hoping and praying for the demise of Marc Bell, Andrew Conru and their ilk.
I hope and pray that this woman's lawsuit is truthful and hope the douchebags at Penthouse/AFF gets what is coming to them.
Oh and most of the profiles on AFF are fake and/or porn spam. You gotta be a sucker to fall for their crap.
@BoothThyestes: I know a guy who used to work for AFF, as a copy editor or something. It wasn't in his job to write any articles himself. Anyway, one day he said he walked into the office and saw a pocket pussy sitting on his desk. His boss walked in and told him "Oh, we need you to take this home and write a review."
Where I work, we have books lying around everywhere--not authors. And when the authors come in, they don't put their keyboards on anybody's head. So um, I think, uh, what happened is wrong?
Brilliant. "We don't care if the technology works; only that it's managed by eye candy."
Meantime, I had a friend who wrote porn for Flynt. And she told me the offices were more professional (albeit, visually cheezy), than any non-porn publisher for whom she'd worked.
@Silverbackne: "Dear Barely Legal - I never thought something like this would ever happen to me..." etc. Sadly, that business may be professional, but it is not recession-proof.
I like that her boss asked her to find more attractive female employees. Your job already entails staring at porn all day. What's looking one more hot chick in a pencil skirt gonna do?
@DahlELama: Wasn't there some study somewhere that showed the more guys look at porn--are saturated with it, etc.--the more they crave a normal-looking woman?

So, Prof. Tribe, which article of the constitution or amendment thereto prohibits the placing of a boob ontop a co-workers noggin?
04/29/09
I just placed my index finger in the penumbra emanating from the 14th Amendment.

By the way, recall that Tribe said that calling New Jersey the "Garden State" was more aspirational than descriptive.

Sorry, Dep... My humor switch is either too tight or too loose today.

No problem - admittedly it was a bit off the wall. And now you're a buddy, because my best friend calls me "Dep".
