Re: OT: Freedom of expression or the dawn of morality ?
A pathetic, transparent spoof. That media outlets are too stupid to notice as false. 
*Sigh*
OK, that was a little heavy handed.
Might I suggest you read these web sites.
www.snopes.com This one is all good, but their bulletin board has some specific info here: Click This:
www.skepdic.com
They will give you some ammunition vs. hoaxes. I try to apply critical techniques to every bit of info that comes my way -- good brain exercise.
OK, so I'm not perfect at that. A recent page hacking post of mine proves that. But I do try.

I saw that story on National TV News this AM. The same guy is apparently selling videos of the whole affair!!!
EDIT: Sure didn't look like a hoax to me - they were interviewing the guy and showing video footage with strategic elements 'blurred out'

Re: OT: Freedom of expression or the dawn of morality ?
Well, first of all, I'm a believer in adults being able to make their own decisions and do what they like. As a comedian once said, "If I enjoy soaking my *** in a salt solution and sit around on my knees in the forest pertending to be a deer lick, why should people care?"
I also believe in legalized prostitution, another subject that gets people upset.
But back to the subject. I don't believe it's an urban legend. I believe the post below mine, that it's a gimmick to help sell another kind of video that's trying to follow the success of "Women Gone Wild".
But people can get upset at the drop of a hat these days. Do you remember all the hate mail a guy got a few years ago for putting up a hoax site called, "Bonsai Kittens"? Made the newspaper and everything. Investigations and all. Turns out, he was just manipulating and distorting cat faces and bodies in Photoshop. LOL.

You think that's a hoax, you should read about this man Skaggs. |
