Here's some reality for you: "Joe
Millionaire" finalist Sarah Kozer does more than "sales and design," her
occupation, as reported by FOX. She also has experience being gagged and
hog-tied in such cinematic masterpieces as "Novices in Knots," and is one of
the "fantastic foot-maidens" who "bare their filthy soles" in "Dirty Soled
Dolls."
Yep, The Smoking Gun
is at it again. Ordinarily I applaud its nose for irony, as it typically debunks myths
that public relations staffs work so hard to conjure up and spread. But is
this news relevant to anything? Must every lawful and willful act of a
pseudo-celebrity's background be exposed for the sake of "gotcha" journalism?
Well, I'm linking to it, so I guess it cleared a somewhat low bar for
newsworthiness, but perhaps the news says more about our reactions to sex
than it does to anything related to Sarah Kozer.

someone broke into my parents' house, stole instructions to a camera, but

had been at college, but if they'd come back during break, their heads were going
to be introduced to Mr. Louisville Slugger.
I can tell you I had a hard time watching the KU game while flipping back to JOE M. Now I am rather amused by the show again... it had lost its muster in my book, but I must say that is one tid bit of trahsy media plow that seems to have actually sparked my attention. I guess she was a good selection in the rating department? However I am inclined to agree that this kind of reporting is less than meaningfull and more than a waste of bandwidth... but that does not mean I am not captivated by it.
