"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I know the Girls Gone Wild guy has done some unbelieveably shady things with consent. You remember that article about him, where he assaulted the writer? That article goes on to chronicle a case of very dubious consent from a drunken college woman -- to intercourse.

And because the woman wakes up in the morning feeling dirty and guilty, it doesn't occur to her that, nor will she come forward and testify that, what she experienced is formally classified as rape.

Probably the legal loophole is "I couldn't tell they were drunk when they signed," and I'm sure they don't turn the cameras on during the signature, so as not to create incriminating evidence to the contrary. But -- yeah. I know a certain percentage of people would sign anyway, sober or not, because they like the idea of being on television; but I bet that doesn't describe everyone.

I'm sure that context has something to do with it.

I think my judgement may be colored by my extreme hatred for the guy that does GGW. After I read the (I think) LA Times article about him.... well, let's just say he doesn't want to meet me after dark. Of course, I'm not a sexy co-ed, so he wouldn't give me the time of day anyway.

All the better to sneak up on him....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I was going to mention that article, but I couldn't remember where I'd read it. And yes, the rape allegations are exactly why I am deeply, deeply skeptical about the level of "consent" in any of those videos, lawsuits or not.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I vote Hell Yeah on the pop culture thing!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Someone just sent me an e-mail request and misspelled a lawyer's last name as 'Horing'.

What's funny was in one of my posts I was going to say "call me nutty," but then I thought it would be like calling me Nutty, and that would just be confusing.

I summoned you for slime!

Wow. Okay. So I've been extra-allergicky this week, and I've been all "woes!" about it. And just now I realized maybe it's because I've completely forgotten to take any allergy medication this week.

Dear Brain,

You're on notice!
