Who wouldn't accept that? Anyhow this just goes to show that email is a terrible invention, for everyone.

After they separated for a time last year (and something was rumored to go down between Neal and the couple's nanny, not mentioned in the article and which Boulton denied to Page Six),

...instead of returning to work, in mid-April, Neal told friends that he was going to a hospital—but secretly, he went to rehab in Westchester for a month.

Um, "going to a hospital" is the worst excuse for going to rehab we've ever heard. What about the old "visiting an aunt in Arizona"? Anyway,

The couple say they're monogamous now and forever more. As for their kids, Neal says, "they've grown up with the children of same-sex couples. They don't know a world without bi's and gays and lesbians. Our kids understand that we have loved men and women, but that the key is love—and respect. I prefer to be open because when sexuality and sex are kept close to the vest, people start making up their own truths." After 14 years of marriage, they've stuck it out and are still going strong.

(Our most recent e-mail from Boulton, whom we've never met: "Happy Thanksgiving, hot woman.")

[Page Six Magazine]

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.

He got six months of house arrest and three years of probation. At his sentencing he apologized, and said this:

"When I look back on the story of my life, I can't believe it brought me to this moment. I am ashamed."

Actually an Access Hollywood gig leading down a road that ends in a criminal trial based on illegally-obtained salacious gossip is quite predictable. [Philly.com; pic via]

"As much as Ashley was growing on me, I tried to keep an eye out for girls who were stealing clients from the agency... But this girl knew how to play the game. She knew the better she was to the agency, the more money she would make. I knew part of the reason she was hanging out with me so much was exactly for that reason, and I was okay with that. I think we would have been friends anyway...

Ashley and I were amazing together. I loved her body. She wasn't skinny at all, you'd never feel like you could break her, but she didn't have any fat on her body. She wasn't noticeably muscular either—she had a naturally gorgeous frame and shape. The only thing I didn't love were her breasts. She had implants, and I didn't think they were the greatest. She told me she got them when she was sixteen. That shocked me. I felt like such a foreigner. What's more American than fake tits at sixteen?

When I saw Ashley's pussy, I was overcome with the need to lick it, to devour it. And when I did, I didn't want to stop—she tasted so sweet. Ashley was at that point when girl meets woman, and it's spectacular. I had to stop before I wanted to. I couldn't be selfish as there was a client in the room.

...When Ashley and I arrived back at the loft, I took Jason aside immediately. I said, 'You've got to book this girl. She has the most beautiful coochie I've ever seen.'

Jason wanted details. I struggled to find the words. Pink, small, pretty? How do you describe the perfect flower or sunset?"

We mean to say that in a ratings battle that was historially waged on Friday night, Dupre's much ballyhooed Diane Sawyer 20/20 interview handily trounced Lipstick Jungle (which aired, on a Friday for some reason, in the same slot as the interview) with a 8.2 million to 3.3 million point spread. So, though series star Brooke Shields might deny it, Jungle is ding-dong diddily dead. And Ashley Dupre is famous(ish) again!

Jungle has plenty of sex, sure, but it's mostly about the clothes (there's a character named Victory who is a fashionz dezinerz!) and the Baudelaire lifestyles the garments imply. Dupre was all about where the sexing will get you—money! in New York! fleeting, squirrely third-hand fame! Both gluttony and lust are strong ass sins, to be sure, but I guess in the end the carnality, unlike the consumerism, is free. Well, not free. But...

Oh, you know what I mean.

• Fashion—Remember Monica Lewinsky's successful line of handbags? No you don't, because her handbag line was not successful. She harbored the illusion that women would choose to spend money to have a fashion item with her personal aura hanging off their arms. It turns out women do not want their fashion labels to convey a reputation for, primarily, blowjobs. Not fair, but a fact. Fashion lines without an extremely cheeky touch are doomed to fail.
• Music—We hear you want a music career. Do you have deep and unique talent? Not from what we've heard. Skip it.
• Talk Show—You could give this a shot, right? I mean, how hard could it be to be the next, say, Ricki Lake? She probably gets around too amirite? (SEXIST). The truth is that hosting a successful talk show is way harder than it looks. I'm sure you could convince some desperate off-brand network to give you a talk show, Ashley, but once the novelty wore off, it would either have to get really sexual really fast, or die. Or you would have to turn out to have some heretofore unknown media skills, which we doubt. Stick to being interviewed yourself, not the other way around.
• Advice Column—Now this is an idea! There are several advantages to an advice column. Initially, people would read just because you're famous. But then, if you had good (SEXY) advice, people would read just to hear that! And you can always hire a ghostwriter. And this isn't dependent on your looks! Save this as a retirement plan. But use a current photo.
• Write a Book—You might have a good, trashy tell-all in you, Ashley, but you'd have to be willing to tell all. These People magazine and Diane Sawyer interviews you're doing now are child's play. You can look sympathetic and respectable on the book's cover, but if you don't give up the (SEXY) goods inside, people aren't going to drop $25 at the airport book store. Do this in the next six months, if you need the cash.
• Politics—It would be funny! Vote for the only New Yorker who could defeat Spitzer, LOL! Actually this would only work if Spitzer restarted his political career and the Republicans were very desperate for an opponent. Though you do have a promising career as a political symbol, Ashley.
• Porn—We have to level with you: this is the most lucrative thing you could possibly do. The sad fact is that women who get famous for sex scandal reasons are always branded, foremost, as sex objects. Sucks if you have actual life aspirations! But you can in fact make millions and millions by doing porn, then take your money and go live in Belize in peace. This would also get you out of Jersey. Think about it.

Our tipster is somewhat less sure of this part, but has also heard:

[That] dupre was paid a large "consulting fee" and for "archival footage" — the standard way interview subjects are paid by the networks. (how outrageous, to pay a hooker that much money and only get an interview!)

This would be standard, of course, because none of the news networks "pay" for interviews. Just for services rendered, so to speak, haha. If you have any more info on the Dupre interview, email us.

Quoth Tripp,

"That said, I believe President-elect Obama possesses an instantly recognizable purity of soul that, coupled with his brilliance, and, of course, his eloquence, brought quite unimaginable and long-awaited magic to the country, transforming red and blue states, quite literally, into ‘The Color Purple."

That is all one sentence, folks.

As the weeks went on, my days got more and more frenetic. I’d fly to Florida for a four-day appointment. Then I’d come back and immediately do a ten-hour appointment, followed by another two-hour job. Sleep five hours. And start all over again.

I worked like that for a good three months straight. For most of this time my fee was $1,200 an hour. Here’s how it broke down: An average date was four hours, or $4,800. Ten percent off the top went to the booker. This left $4,320, which was split 50/50 with the agency (aka Jason). So I’d net $2,160 per date, or $540 per hour—the hourly rate for a top New York City attorney. I averaged between six and eight hours a day, one or two clients. I was making at least ten grand a week, easy.

And here's where it all went, other than up her nose:

Not that I could hold on to it. I was so new to having such ridiculous amounts of disposable cash I didn't know what to do with it... I’d take six friends out for dinner at Cipriani Downtown and not even sweat a thousand dollar check. Two thousand dollars paid off my mom’s credit card. Another stop at Western Union and she was able to go back to college.

I walked around with $1,500 in my purse at all times. I kept two eightballs (3.5 grams) of blow in my safe, at $200 each. Buying coke in bulk is like going to Costco instead of the neighborhood grocery store. It’s just economical. I restocked every week...

My new life wasn’t that expensive, considering my take-home pay. I paid $3500 per month rent. My phone bill was about $400. Manicures, pedicures, tanning, and massages cost another $500 per week. I spent about a hundred dollars a day on cabs.

Maybe it was her unwise participation in a 2005 New York magazine profile on Itzler, which revealed a ton of biological details that would make her real name easily identifiable for even the most bumbling of PIs—plus photographs that included her face.

In 2005, Jason Itzler (Dupre's former pimp and Natalie's current one) was jailed at Riker's after his NY Confidential escort agency was busted. What else do we learn about "Natalia" in the article that might have provided an easy trail for the cops—and possibly pressure her to become an informant in order to save herself?

"Natalia, 25, about five foot three and perhaps 100 pounds soaking wet, reigns as the love of his life."

"(She was the tap-dance champion of Canada in 1996)"

"She was an actress, had played Shakespeare and Off Broadway both. Ever the ingénue, she’d been Juliet half a dozen times."

“It was my birthday,” Natalia remembers. “I’d just been cast as Ingrid Superstar in this play, Andy & Edie. I wanted to be Edie, but Misha Sedgwick, Edie’s niece, also wanted it, so forget that."

The lesson here: we're not judging her profession, and Natalia/Natalie comes off as intelligent in the article, with a sense of humor ("Jason would be saying, ‘Natalia is the greatest escort in the history of the world, as good as Cleopatra or Joan of Arc,' says Natalia, “and I’d be like, ‘Jason! Joan of Arc was not an escort, she was a religious martyr.’”)

But if your job is, in fact, illegal, it's best not to participate in high-visibility magazine profiles. Hookers and other illegal workers should never talk to the media.

"I couldn't believe I was watching Cindy McCain passionately kissing and hugging another man!"

That is the Ben Ratliff pull-quote on the movie poster for the documentary of sad that is the Republican party in 2008.

Also this all happened at a Moody Blues show in Tempe, Arizona. A McCain spokesperson declined to comment.

But surely there are lots of brittle-looking 50-year-old blondes in the Phoenix metro area—isn't that where they all go to spawn?

Still, this is shocking news for those who thought the marriage between cruel, borderline-emotionally abusive absentee husband and serial-cheater John McCain and lonely, DC-hating, solitary, formerly drug-addicted Cindy McCain was a strong, healthy bond.

In the latest case, [the accuser, Roberto] Hernandez says he was fired when he refused to cooperate with the alleged accounting scheme. American Apparel spokesman Ryan Holiday responded yesterday that Hernandez was fired "for performance reasons at the request of his direct supervisor."

The company also offered up for interview Carolina Crespo, a graphics manager at American Apparel who said she was a "former lover" of Hernandez.

She alleges that Hernandez "had a severe attendance problem - he always used to show up late." She said the chronic tardiness was related to personal problems, and that while his supervisor "gave him plenty of chances, he never came in on time."

Let this be a lesson: Fuck with Dov Charney and he will make sure that that one girl at work that you banged in the stock room will come forward with incriminating information about your attendance record. [NYP. Pic via]

And while he concedes his behavior was "extraordinarily stupid," he remains somewhat unwilling to accept full public scorn.

These were 17-year-olds, just months from being men, he insists.

"There was never anywhere in those conversations where someone said, 'Stop,' or 'I'm not enjoying this,' or 'This is inappropriate' ... but again, I'm the adult here, I'm the congressman," Foley said. "The fact is I allowed it to happen. That's where my responsibility lies."

Oh man, Mark. Can you sound a little bit more in denial of your hypocrisy, maybe?

"The work I was doing was involving young children ... You know, you hear the term 'pedophile.' That is prepubescent," Foley said, noting a "huge difference" from lurid chats with teens on the brink of adulthood.

Yes it's actually a sad story about a sad man.

Less sad, of course, is the story of John Edwards, the smooth-talkin' populist whose political career imploded when it was revealed he carried on an extra-marital affair with a crazy woman and probably fathered her child. He addressed some students at Indiana University on the subject of poverty, and talked a bit about the election, and didn't talk at all about Rielle Hunter and his lovechild. He'd like to be remembered as an anti-poverty crusader, and not as a slick narcissistic asshole. Sorry, John.

Maybe you did, and forgot about it, or forgot the details, because who cares about what the mayor of Los Angeles does? The Los Angeles Times doesn't even care what the mayor of Los Angeles does! Their political reporters had the story of the end of Villaraigosa's marriage, and they put it on page B-4. They also, oddly, left out the reason for the split, which surely they could've found out with a couple minutes of reporting—Villaraigosa was sleeping with a hot political reporter from Telemundo!

The Times did get to the story eventually, but no one outside of LA noticed or really cared about Villaraigosa's infidelities. America is sort of beyond that, you know? The Republicans just ran a dude who married his mistress, and Newt Gingrich is looking good in 2012 (hah).

What none of that changes is the fact that Villaraigosa is precisely the kind of telegenic useless Democrat who can get David Hasselhoff and Natalie Cole to play his mayoral inauguration and who then spends his term gallivanting around the world building recognition and support for his causes without having any causes beyond promoting himself.

As the LA Weekly put it a couple months ago, "the mayor spends most of his working day flying in and out of town, holding staged press conferences, attending banquets, ceremonies and parties, raising political money and providing face time to high-powered special interest groups in a position to help his political advancement." So yes, of course it makes perfect sense that Villaraigosa was standing up there with President-elect Obama, because there were a shit-load of cameras there. But what the hell did he have to add to the discussion on the current economic crisis? Guys, let's not let this useless hack become an important new face of the Democrats in charge of the country, ok?

San Francisco U.S. Attorney Joseph Russoniello said his office regularly sees Craigslist ads in cases it brings against human-trafficking rings that engage women in prostitution. Craigslist is "very important" to the prostitution business, he said, both for prostitutes to find clients and "for pimps to recruit new members of the stable."

As onetime Valleywag contributor Melissa Gira Grant wrote elsewhere, this will probably push some hookers into more dangerous venues, like the streets.

Lady Issues

• California's Proposition 4 would prohibit abortion for minors until 48 hours after her doctor alerts her parents. Vote: No, asshole.
• Colorado's Definition of Person Initiative would define a fertilized egg as "a person" under the law. This would outlaw not just abortion but also forms of birth control, and miscarriages. Vote: No, jesus.
• South Dakota's Abortion Ban Initiative would, uh, ban abortion. Vote: No one in South Dakota reads Gawker. But guys, seriously, just don't.

Teh Gays

• Arizona's Proposition 102 will "define marriage as between one man and one woman." Gay marriage is already illegal in Arizona, now they're just being dicks. Vote: No, and move out of Arizona for godssake.
• Florida's Marriage Amendment will also define marriage as between one man and one woman. Then, just to be even more dickish, it goes on: "provides that no other legal union that is treated as marriage or the substantial equivalent thereof shall be valid or recognized." I.e. this affects unmarried couples of all kinds. Vote: No. Thankfully it needs 60% to pass.
• California's Propitision 8 is famous! It will ban the gay marriage, obv. Vote: No no no no.
• Arkansas' Unmarried Couple Adoption Ban is sneaky (and EVIL)! It's meant to prevent The Gays from adopting kids or even being foster parents, and of course it will ban all unmarried couples from fostering kids and it will screw everyone. It is Arkansas so it will probably pass. Vote: No! Ugh!

Drugs

• California's Proposition 5 is a complicated initiative. It basically mandates rehab and treatment for non-violent drug crimes, and shortens paroles for drug dealers, and changes some marijuana misdemeanors to infractions. Vote: Honestly? It seems like a big expensive poorly written failure waiting to happen but we can't urge anyone to vote FOR the drug war so go ahead and vote YES because this shit isn't passing anyway.
• Massachusetts' Sensible Marijuana Policy Initiative would decriminalize possession of an ounce of weeeeeed. Vote: Yes, duh.
• Michigan's Coalition for Compassionate Care Initiative is a medical marijuana bill! Vote: Yes.

Misc.

• Iowa and Arkansas want to remove "outdated language" from their constitutions. The language in both cases forbids, quote, "idiots and insane persons" from voting. Hah.

The Illinois senator also has the advantage with local 'johns' — 72 percent go Democratic. And convicted pimps: Four out of every five register Democratic. And for the most special of special interest groups — male transvestite hookers — they're batting a thousand for Dems, albeit in drag.

Ha ha ha, marginalized members of society support Democrats! Breaking!

And now, Lee Abrams' suggestions to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel:

Sex: SEX AND RELIGION ARE THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT TOPICS ION THE

WORLD! A weekly theme of Sex/relationships. Monday Gay Florida Tuesday Does E-Harmony work? Weds Teens & Sex exposed... etc...

Religion: Monday: Can Jews and Muslims co exist; Tuesday The religious ultra right; Wednesday Catholics in America.... etc...

We practice this theory daily.

*STAR EVERYTHING. Are you a "listing service" or experts? Listing events for Kids? Star them. So Mom can say "Oh—The Sentinel gives the science fair three stars, lets take the kids". Give events and places a 'reason'...be the expert not just the lister. Same goes for restaurants of course, and well, just about everything you 'list'.

"Insurgents Retake Southern Areas Of Fallujah (TWO STARS!)"

*WORDING. At the Sentinel there was a story about exotic Asian restaurants, and the reefer was "Learn about Tasty Treats". Tasty Treats??? OK for Campbell's in 1955 or for a candy article, but other than that, it's old world newspaperspeak!

Heh, "reefer." But how about some new stories, Lee—things our readers haven't heard before?

*SCAM PATROL. Identity theft...Infomercials that are questionable...Nigerian 419 scams...they're everywhere. We need to inform and BUST these 21st century menaces. It's REAL...It's NOW.

*POKER. I know the Sun Sentinel does this. It's HOT. Poker is the 21st Century Bridge.

Why do we love you so, Lee Abrams?

"Connect to the energy of the Zohar," explained Shia, who was there to suck me in. I decide it's ancient porn.

Don't you know that people are more than a collection of holes for enjoyment, Andrea Peyser? [NYP]

“Is it that men are bragging about it and women are lying to everybody including themselves?” Dr. Fisher asked. “Men want to think women don’t cheat, and women want men to think they don’t cheat, and therefore the sexes have been playing a little psychological game with each other.”

"Dr. Fisher notes that infidelity is common across cultures, and that in hunting and gathering societies, there is no evidence that women are any less adulterous than men."

So the "Changing Landscape of Infidelity" hed is maybe not so changing after all. It all started with Eve and that damned apple. But here's something to think about:

"“Everybody talks by cellphone and the relationship evolves because you become increasingly distant from whomever you lie to, and you become increasingly close to whomever you tell the truth to.”

The Changing Landscape of Infidelity [NYT]

“He was the man of my life. Our relationship went far beyond friendship,” Mr Petzner, 27, said after only a week in the job, adding that Haider’s wife, Claudia, 52, “did not object” to their relationship.

“I only had him. Now I am all alone. I would spend nights with him and his family and that was important for me because I often was afraid to be alone in the dark,” he added.

Haha this story is awesome. Dead gay fascists are basically the best fascists. This is like learning David Duke fucked Trent Lott, right?

Of course there's a rich history of hot far-right homosex among Nazis; the Nazi SA stormtroopers (the brownshirts) were led by Ernst Rohm, flaming queen, and his deputy, Edmund Heines, fellow flaming queen. The stormtroopers were like a big violent fascist gay S&M illegal police force!

And Haider, of course, had a soft spot for the Nazis. He praised the SS, downplayed that whole "Holocaust" thing, and routinely made hilarious jokes about how prominent Jewish people were filthy and crooked.

But sad gay fascists have to be all anti-homosexuality in public, because hot gay sex is a decadent liberal sort of activity, and they rely on constitutionally conservative working people for their support. Haider's party got 11% of the vote in Austria's national elections last month, and now they've fired his poor sad young lover. Or demoted him, at least. He's the deputy again, to a 43-year-old divorced guy. Which should end well for everyone.

Here's Petzner crying and maybe confessing his love. Maybe. We don't speak German.

By pure serendipity I found a photo of what I believe is Stanley Ann Dunham; two more I found through sheer plod. They are taken before Christmas by the decorations and unopened presents. Also a stereo and records that an expert could confirm as jazz records are in view.There is a distinctive grain to the wood floors. I do research including genealogical and had downloaded everything I could find. Not much. So when I saw the picture, I locked on the the ear lobes, chin, eyebrows. It is she. A nude photo,not distasteful, but posed, I believe, by a mature man who knows what he likes, including jazz and now we know young girls. One could ascertain the location of where the photos were taken.

And the shoes..not indigenous to Hawaii,but maybe not unsual for Helen Canfield Chicago socialite and Marshall's second wife. The photos are important in the sense that they explain the going to Chicago and the immediate acceptance by the hard left, if his father is Frank Marshall Davis, not just his mentor.

What is the best part of this email? We like the very first sentence—through "pure serendipity" this intrepid researcher accidentally stumbled upon a photo from "free-vintage-porn.com." Careful digging supplied two more. He can tell by the jazz records that these photos were taken by a communist.

You can find your own link. It'll probably be on Drudge tomorrow.

Also? 34 years after The Brady Bunch went off the air and she is still so amazingly hot! And that's not just nostalgia talking.

“After waiting in an area with an open bar and a DJ, we walked up a driveway illuminated by fluorescent lights to a darkened room where we saw 40 nude women. Most of them were wearing strange masks made of wool. “The models stood in the middle of the room - black girls at the front and white girls at the back. Then the entire album played without any introduction or explanation.”

This is the new standard for everything. Maybe not so fun for the ladies, though.

Ads for the movie are being rejected across the nation! Boston ads drew complaints. Philly banned them altogether. And in Los Angeles, the dastardly marketing scheme is preventing children from understanding a baseball strategy in which a runner on third base breaks for home as the pitch is thrown and the batter simultaneously bunts, which can pay off in a run unless the batter misses the bunt, in which case it's almost surely an out at the plate:

One complaint came from a man watching a game in September with his young son, who did not understand a suicide-squeeze bunt the Dodgers tried, Rawitch said.

"He was explaining to his son what a squeeze bunt was. Commercial break, the ad comes on, and the kid asks, `Dad, what does porno mean?'" Rawitch said. "Dodgers baseball has always been about family, and we've always been sensitive to the type of advertising that runs on our games."

And you know who else thinks you're a pussy? The New York Observer. (Wow, that's bad!). They got in touch directly with your womenfolk, and they're all fantasizing about Don Draper, the heroic asshole star of Mad Men:

Don Draper is a bastard, most of these women will concede. He cheats on his pre-Friedan-ized wife, Betty, going through mistresses like packs of Lucky Strike cigarettes. He is stoic, handsome, emotionally stunted. “Obviously, he’s physically attractive, but his lack of conscience is upsetting,” said Megan Donis, 34, a television producer who lives in Fort Greene.

Your significant other thinks that all your progressive talk makes you and your role models a bunch of little ho bags!

“If you just compare him, to, say, Patrick Dempsey on Grey’s Anatomy, Dr. McDreamy comes off as a whiny little sensitive bitch,” said Lindsay Robertson, 31, a co-editor of Videogum.com, resident of Carroll Gardens and a self-described member of the “Draper estrogen brigade.”

You thought you could wear a fannie pack and button-up sweaters and still be manly enough to satisfy a hot-blooded woman such as yours?

In suburbia-inflected Park Slope, scores of such Stepford Husbands can be found roughhousing with their toddlers at the playground, hoisting strollers up brownstone steps or putting together a nice little risotto for dinner.

“In New York, in the age of the metrosexual and all that, especially in neighborhoods like Park Slope or Prospect Heights, it’s not that unusual. In fact, it’s pretty accepted,” said Timothy Spence, 39, who lives in Prospect Heights and stays home with a 2-year-old daughter while his wife works in Manhattan as a graphic designer. “There just aren’t those issues of masculinity.”

You fucking fool. Go run some errands while your wife pleasures herself to thoughts of a strong-jawed cad.

But even as men proclaim themselves happy homemakers, some of their wives, or “partners” to use the popular parlance of the day, express ambivalence. “You appreciate a stay-at-home dad—as feminists, this is what we wanted!—but marriage now is all about equal partnership,” said the anonymous Brooklyn mom. “It works as a social system, but it’s not terribly erotic.”

While you shop at the co-op for what you think is your wife's favorite food, she's dreaming about her real favorite food: Don Draper's cock!

She recalled a recent conversation between her husband and a SAHD of their acquaintance (the men had cooked, of course). “They were talking very intently about something that went on in preschool,” she said. “And I just completely glazed over, went a million miles away in my head. I thought, ‘Jesus, fellas, get a life!’”

By contrast: “Don Draper is a hero. He’s a dreamer.”

Overall, this has been one of the most satisfying articles I've read in some time. [by Irina Aleksander, who clearly thinks you are a pussy.]

The jury ruled the films, which include scenes of vomiting, violence and urination, were criminally obscene...

Little apologized to the court and said the videos and DVDs in question were labeled and intended for the more permissive European market, not for sale in the United States.

There's also the fact that his movies "usually feature him engaging in a variety of sexual acts with young women who dress and act like prepubescent girls." What a sleazebag. Also, what a bad ruling. America should be ashamed to lose to Europe in porn freedom. [TBO]
