Judge Preska rules against Ghislaine Maxwell appeal on redactions, stating current redactions by Giuffre team are appropriate and properly redacted. Unsealing proceeds unabated! The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals isn’t messing around. Expect an eye-opener, soon.
Jong Woo Son, 23, a South Korean national, was indicted by a federal grand jury in the District of Columbia for his operation of Welcome To Video, the largest child sexual exploitation market by volume of content. The nine-count indictment was unsealed today along with a parallel civil forfeiture action.
Son has also been charged and convicted in South Korea and is currently in custody serving his sentence in South Korea. An additional 337 site users residing in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington State and Washington, D.C. as well as the United Kingdom, South Korea, Germany, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, the Czech Republic, Canada, Ireland, Spain, Brazil and Australia have been arrested and charged.
Northam’s roots can be traced back to his great grandfather, Captain J.E. Brownlee, also a Democrat, who fought against the Yankees in the Civil War. After the war, he was a stalwart member of the “Red Shirts,” a group of white supremacists – all Democrats – who made a name for themselves by intimidating freed slaves to stop them from voting.
Some headlines just beg to be written. This is one of those cases. It was like a big ol’ hanging curveball, just waiting to be pounded out of the park.

The Daily Caller has the details:
American scientists now say that oral cancer caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV) has become more prevalent in the U.S. than oral cancer caused by tobacco.
We wouldn't be surprised if the Obama administration uses this as an excuse to tax sex
Maura Gillison, a cancer researcher at Ohio State University told reporters Sunday at an American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) meeting that scientists have found a 225 percent increase in the number of oral cancer cases in the U.S. during the last three decades.
“When you compare people who have an oral infection or not … the single greatest factor is the number of partners on whom the person has performed oral sex,” said Gillson, adding that studies have shown that people who have performed oral sex on more than six partners have an eight times greater risk of developing head or neck cancer than their perhaps less promiscuous peers.
In the last two decades, incidents of oral cancer in the U.S. from HPV have doubled. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that half of all sexually active Americans will get HPV throughout the course of their lifetime.
HPV has gotten attention in recent years for causing cervical cancer in women, with some states mandating and gynecologists recommending Gardasil and Cervarix to their patients as preventative vaccines. With this troubling data, however, researchers are advising boys and men to get vaccinated as well.
This story is hard to swallow.
(Please accept our apologies for that closing line. Our mothers would be ashamed. Of course, our mothers were often ashamed even before we started IHateTheMedia.com, so just imagine how they must feel now. Again, we apologize.)
Rock group Simply Red’s lead singer Mick Hucknall is now apologizing to the three thousand women he slept with over a three-year period.
Remember the rock group Simply Red? Yeah, the cheesy 80s band with the singularly unattractive, red-headed lead singer.
Well, Mick Hucknall, that lead singer, is now apologizing to the three thousand women he slept with over a three-year period.
Yeah, sure, Mick. Whatever you say.
The Guardian UK has the story:
“A red-headed man,” Mick Hucknall modestly acknowledges, “is not generally considered to be a sexual icon,” although that did not stop the singer from using his own curly red locks to remarkable seductive effect at the height of his fame in the mid- 80s, when he estimates he slept with more than 3,000 women in three years.
Today, however, pop’s unlikeliest Lothario has offered a startling apology, describing his behaviour as an addiction. “I regret the philandering,” he says in an interview for this newspaper’s film and music section. “In fact, can I issue a public apology through the Guardian? They know who they are, and I’m truly sorry.”
Now first of all, we consider this to be right up there with Wilt Chamberlain claiming to have slept with 20,000 women. But at least Chamberlain’s claim was a bit more believable because was an athlete and his claim was spread over a period of decades.
But we love the fact that the Guardian UK added this correction at the bottom of the story:
This article was amended on 3 December 2010. Owing to an editing error, the original headline read: Mick Hucknall apologies to 1,000 women he slept with. This, and the related story text, has been corrected.
Three thousand? One thousand? It really doesn’t matter. If your music had been half as creative as this story, Mick, you’d still be a star.
Rather than trying to describe the Blow Up Barack blowup doll ourselves, let’s just go with a censored version of the product description found on the seller’s website.
This is a real product and you can buy it via the link at the bottom of this story. So rather than trying to describe it ourselves, let’s just go with a censored version of the product description found on the seller’s website:
Blow-Up Barack presidential love doll. He f**ked the economy, now you can f**k him back! He’ll batter your bush. Visit his oval orifice. He’s got a presidential-sized power tool! He’s the clear winner in this year’s presidential erection. He’s got the biggest presidential staff ever!
They left out three things:
“Like the original, it’s completely full of hot air”
“Endorsed by Barney Frank.”
And “For a small additional change, MSNBC host Chris Matthews will deliver your Barack Obama Blow-Up Love Doll and personally inflate it.”
Pardon our schadenfreude, but there’s nothing more enjoyable than seeing a pompous buffoon get pricked by his own…uhhhh…prick. That’s the situation Al Gore finds himself in today.
"Whew! It's getting hot in here. Maybe I should take my pants off."
Pardon our schadenfreude, but there’s nothing more enjoyable than seeing a pompous buffoon get pricked by his own…uhhhh…prick. That’s the situation Al Gore finds himself in today.
Naturally, it’s the National Enquirer that has the exclusive:
The ENQUIRER reports in an exclusive bombshell that police have investigated charges from TWO MORE WOMEN who claimed they were abused by former VP AL GORE!
The allegations come hot on the heels of an ongoing Portland, Ore., police investigation that reopened after The ENQUIRER exclusively revealed accusations by a licensed massage therapist who says Gore groped her in 2006.
The ENQUIRER recently uncovered shocking allegations, from two other massage therapists.
The first incident allegedly took place at a Beverly Hills luxury hotel when Gore, 62, was in Hollywood to attend the Oscars in 2007.
The second reportedly occurred a year later at a hotel in Tokyo. A Beverly Hills hotel source told The ENQUIRER:
“The therapist claimed that when they were alone, Gore shrugged off a towel and stood naked in front of her.
“He pointed at his erect penis and ordered her, ‘Take care of THIS.'”
Who ever would have thought that Al Gore would have more sex scandals than Bill Clinton.
The federal government has spent $550,496 on a project that involved conducting “focus groups and in-depth interviews” with American long-haul truck drivers to learn about their sex lives.
Truck drivers aren't just filling their tanks at those roadside truck stops
The federal government has spent $550,496 on a project that involved conducting “focus groups and in-depth interviews” with American long-haul truck drivers to learn about their sex lives in order to assess their risk of contracting HIV or other sexually transmitted infections.
The project has failed to find any instances of HIV among the truck drivers studied.
The government may have worded some of the questions a bit too formally. We would suggest that they would get more honest answers in the future if they simply rephrase the questions by using terminology with which the truck drivers can identify. For example:
Question #1: Have you ever hooked your big rig up to a strange trailer Question #3: Have you ever been rear-ended at a truckstop? Question #7: Have you ever made a long haul delivery down the chocolate highway? Question #12: Have you ever gone the wrong way up a one-way street?
Damn it. That’s what we get for skimming over the police statement made by Al Gore’s masseuse. The Washington Examiner pulled two quotes that we somehow overlooked.
Euphemism alert: Al Gore needs to have his chakra released
Please allow us to correct that oversight by quoting the Examiner.
Quote #1: Chakra to me, chakra to me, chakra to me
Then, abruptly, the former vice president changed tone. It was “as though he had very suddenly switched personalities,” she recalled and began in a pleading tone, pleading for release of his second chakra there.”
“Chakra,” in Gore’s new-agey jargon, refers to the body’s “energy centers,” which the masseuse interpreted as having a specific meaning. “This was yet another euphemism for sexual activity he was requesting,” she told police, “put cleverly as though it were a spiritual request or something.”
Quote #2: Just suck it up
Finally she got away. Later, she talked to friends, liberals like herself, who advised against telling police. One asked her “to just suck it up; otherwise, the world’s going to be destroyed from global warming.”
Thanks, Mr. Former Vice President. Looks like you not only invented the internet, you invented funny.

Here’s the complete Portland Police Department report on the sexual assault complaint against Al Gore.
Maybe he should have stuck with some of the surefire pick-up lines that have worked so well for him in the past. Like, “Global warming ain’t nothin’ compared to the warming in my pants, baby” or “Have you ever wanted to see what a hanging chad really looks like?” or “You know, I’m from Tennessee and I’d sure like to go down south with you” or “If you’re real nice to me, I’ll let you polish my Oscar.”

The news of an Al Gore sex scandal broke hot and heavy yesterday afternoon. Even hotter and heavier, apparently, than the action in Al Gore’s Portland hotel room.
Saving the world from global warming is hard work. Your muscles get tense. You need relief. Special relief, if you know what we mean.
The news of an Al Gore sex scandal broke hot and heavy yesterday afternoon. Even hotter and heavier, apparently, than the action in Al Gore’s Portland hotel room.
First the National Enquirer broke this story:
ENQUIRER WORLD EXCLUSIVE: AL GORE has been accused of sexually attacking a masseuse in Portland, Oregon – and is named in the official police report about the alleged assault, The ENQUIRER has learned exclusively!
The bombshell story will appear in the new issue of The ENQUIRER and will include the secret police documents, a photo of the woman making the stunning charges and will reveal the shocking details about the pants she saved as evidence!
Our investigative team uncovered the amazing story just weeks after the former Vice President announced that he and wife TIPPER were ending their 40-year marriage – amidst reports she suspected her husband was involved with “a gorgeous massage therapist.”
We have verified the 62-year-old former VP was in Portland at the time of the alleged incident – Oct. 24, 2006 – and we saw the $540 massage bill.
If you’re not inclined to believe the Enquirer, despite its record of breaking sex scandal stories, maybe you’ll believe the Portland Police Department.
The Oregonian verified the Enquirer’s story with this item:
The Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office confirmed today that a woman who alleged unwanted sexual contact by Al Gore reported it to police in 2006, and the prosecutor’s office was briefed by the Portland Police Bureau in late 2006 and January 2007.
“We were told the woman was not willing to be interviewed by the Portland Police Bureau and did not want a criminal investigation to proceed,’’ Multnomah County District Attorney Michael Schrunk said, in a prepared statement.
Can you imagine how perfect this story will be if the masseuse was wearing a blue dress and there’s DNA involved.
This is one of those days when a blogger wakes up early because he hears the internet screaming his name. Consider this Seinfeldian story from Omaha.com.
This is one of those days when a blogger wakes up early because he hears the internet screaming his name. Consider this Seinfeldian story from Omaha.com:
An Omaha woman offers a different uniform while she cleans house: topless, bottomless or fully nude.
This week, a brochure advertising those services was distributed in the neighborhood near 83rd and Burt Streets.
The business, ODD’Z & EN’Z Janitorial & More, advertises “house cleaning and more . . . in plain or exotic professional attire,” as well as cooking services and child care, according to the flier.
House cleaning by a nude maid starts at $125, according to the flier. Nude cleaning with “satisfaction” is $175.
The business owner, Kia Carroll, 27, said she’s not a prostitute. Instead, she said, “I am providing entertainment, cleaning up houses and having fun doing it.”
Omaha.com gets down to the barenaked truth:
Carroll said she has been cleaning houses for two years, but the exotic twist is a relatively new thing. A while back, she said, a client asked her to help out with a barbecue. Carroll said the client asked “if I had any exotic clothes I could wear.”
The idea was born.
If Carroll serves beer while she cleans, she may be the best house cleaner ever. EVER.
A 1996 video has surfaced in which Carla Bruni, wife of French President Nicholas Sarkozy, gives a whole new meaning to the term “T&A” as she talks about both “T” and “A” in ways American first ladies other than Rosalynn Carter are totally unfamiliar with.
A 1996 Eurotrash video has surfaced in which Carla Bruni, wife of French President Nicholas Sarkozy, gives a whole new meaning to the term “T&A” as she talks about both “T” and “A” in ways American first ladies other than Rosalynn Carter are totally unfamiliar with.
UPDATE: Now all versions of the video have been pulled, but we found this photo of Mrs Sarkozy. As they say in France, "Elle est très va-va-voom."
The full 27-minute video has already been pulled off YouTube at the behest of the French government, but this edited 2-minute version gives you a sense of Bruni’s…uhhh…laissez-faire attitude toward sex. (Nice use of French, huh?)
The Daily Mail UK reports the randy details:
The 42-year-old former supermodel was said to be ‘shocked and dismayed’ after video producer Thomas Cazals added the conversation to a new ‘tribute’ on YouTube.
The clip was first aired on cult television show Eurotrash in 1996.
It shows Miss Bruni emptying her handbag and producing two ‘hot international sex guides’ in seven languages, of which she speaks four – German, Italian, Spanish and English.
She then says: ‘We need this kind of book because we’re travelling around the world and we’re meeting new people every day and we must know what to tell them in case we get in bed with them.’
Miss Bruni adds: ‘For example if you have a German person and you want to tell them, “You get me very hot”, you say, “Sie erhalten mich sehr heiss”.’
During the interview she also says ‘Do you like my t***ies?’ in the four languages before describing how to perform a sex act.
The longer version of the video indicates that Bruni has personally surrendered more often than the French army as she reveals affairs with Mick Jagger and Eric Clapton and says, “Monogomy bores me.”
We can’t wait for that Roslyn Carter video to show up on YouTube. Hubba hubba.
The ABC-TV affiliate down in Naw’leans ran a story about this new injection called the “G-shot”. It’s a drug can increase a woman’s…uhhh…sensitivity. If you know what we mean. The co-anchor and reporter sort of danced around the issue, but anchor Michael Hill blurted out, “So she’s enjoying penis a little more, is she?”

Co-anchor Jessica Holly looks at him like he’s lost his mind and responds with an acerbic, “Thank you for clarifying that Michael.”
Coincidentally, the entire clip lasts 41 seconds, virtually the same as the Editor’s average sexual encounter.

"I feel the earth move under my feet, I feel the sky tumblin' down, tumblin' down"
Start storing up your canned goods and bottled water, Hollywood. Based on this news just in from Tehran, you’re about to be devastated by the worst earthquakes in history.
The Australian sizes up the seismographic details:
A SENIOR Iranian cleric has claimed that dolled-up women incite extramarital sex, causing more earthquakes in Iran, a country that straddles several fault lines, newspapers reported today.
“Many women who dress inappropriately … cause youths to go astray, taint their chastity and incite extramarital sex in society, which increases earthquakes,” Ayatollah Kazem Sedighi told worshippers at overnight prayers in Tehran.
“Calamities are the result of people’s deeds,” he was quoted as saying by reformist Aftab-e Yazd newspaper.
“We have no way but conform to Islam to ward off dangers.”
No wonder the left doesn’t believe in abstinence. When you actually spend time worrying about whether your sex life is ecologically-correct, you’re never getting laid. Stefanie Iris Weiss, author of Eco-Sex: Go Green Between the Sheets and Make Your Love Life Sustainable, warns that nothing can ruin your love life faster than committing these green sins.
If sustainability is sexy, Al Gore is the new Barry White

Stefanie Iris Weiss, author of Eco-Sex: Go Green Between the Sheets and Make Your Love Life Sustainable, warns that nothing can ruin your love life faster than committing these green sins.
Sin #1: Courting by car. Size does matter, especially when you’re talking about Big Oil. What woman in her right mind would want to go out with a guy who drives a sporty, luxurious, gas guzzling car?
Sin #2: Poison perfume. What? Big oil again? Weiss points out that, “Most perfumes are derived from petroleum, and some contain potential neurotoxins.” So she recommends that you wear organic essential oils. Does anyone know if whale oil qualifies as an organic essential oil?
Sin#3: Eating unsustainable chocolate. Don’t trifle with truffles unless they’re organic and fair trade certified. It’s been our experience that nothing turns a woman off faster than the thought of exploited field workers.
How, you may ask, is this story related to the media. And we answer, without forests there can be no paper and without paper there can be no print media.
We doubt that the British Sex Police consulted with the British Environmental Police on this one
How, you may ask, is this story related to the media. And we answer, without forests there can be no paper and without paper there can be no print media.
Oh, and it involves cheap, sleazy sex and it’s our blog so we’ll write about it if we damn well please.
Here are the details of the sordid story from the Telegraph UK:
The conifers were felled on the 12 hectare site on the outskirts of Darwen, Lancashire, after a “health and safety survey.”
United Utilities cleared the huge expanse of forest alongside the busy A666 claiming some of the trees, planted after the Second World War, were in danger of falling down.
But police and councillors have said that the cull was also ordered to discourage strangers from meeting for sexual intercourse at the known ‘dogging’ hotspot.
Jean Rigby, a local councillor, said: “The area will be replanted with native species that, in 20 years, people will see the benefit of.
“I’m more than happy this is being carried out – and it has a double whammy in terms of the sexual behaviour. I’ve heard anecdotally that since the trees have been cleared, it’s quietened down a lot!”
Another councillor, Colin Rigby, said: “It’s essential work that United Utilities are carrying out, and cutting the trees back also works as a deterrent to people who go dogging.”
Sgt Mark Wilson, of Lancashire Police’s Darwen Neighbourhood Policing team, explained: “It’s an ongoing problem and very worrying for members of the public.
“It’s far too early to tell if cutting the trees back has had any impact on the dogging situation, but we’ll be paying regular attention to the area.”
Call us juvenile (many do), but we’re amused by seeing the words “double whammy” and “sexual behavior” in the same sentence.
This is not a story of great political import. It’s a story about having sex after a heart attack. We’ve read the it a dozen times and can’t figure out what that headline quote means.
Another reason to hope you never have a heart attack
This is not a story of great political import. It’s a story about having sex after a heart attack. We’ve read the it a dozen times and can’t figure out what that headline quote means.
New Hampshire’s WMUR-TV reports the seemingly sordid details:
Experts say the belief that sexual activities can lead to a second heart attack consists of a little bit of truth, but research suggests that it is largely exaggerated. People can have sex after their heart attacks. In fact, the more you exercise–including having sex–the better your odds.
As a safety precaution, “You sort of have to test yourself on the sidewalk before you test yourself in the bedroom,” says Dr. Gerald W. Neuberg, cardiologist and director of the intensive care unit at New York-Presbyterian Hospital.
“We know how this must look, your Honor, but it was doctor’s orders.”

They’re going to “clean up waste, fraud, and abuse in government.” They have integrity. They have respect.
They’re the Batman and Robin of sex scandals. The Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid of corruption. The Laurel & Hardy of hards-on.
