I married Iranian girls before their execution | Iran news | Jerusalem Post
"In the Islamic Republic it is illegal to execute a young woman, regardless of her crime, if she is a virgin, he explained. Therefore a "wedding" ceremony is conducted the night before the execution: The young girl is forced to have sexual intercourse with a prison guard - essentially raped by her "husband." "I regret that, even though the marriages were legal," he said. Why the regret, if the marriages were "legal?" "Because," he went on, "I could tell that the girls were more afraid of their 'wedding' night than of the execution that awaited them in the morning. And they would always fight back, so we would have to put sleeping pills in their food. By morning the girls would have an empty expression; it seemed like they were ready or wanted to die. "I remember hearing them cry and scream after [the rape] was over," he said. "I will never forget how this one girl clawed at her own face and neck with her finger nails afterwards. She had deep scratches all over her." " - Noah David Simon
thank you for posting ... just another example of the horror women endure in Islamic Nations. - Jan Gregory
this one of the worst thing I have ever heard in my life. I couldn't sleep after I read it. It is like the cruelest death one can have. one has to wonder how far the rape goes to destroy one's virginity. obviously they don't think very highly of marriage in Iran. maybe we should move Perez Hilton there. - Noah David Simon
Very upsetting..I'm going to repost. Just curious, do you really dislike Perez Hilton so much? Why judge, he's on her path doing the best he can? - Myrna
This is Radical Islam, this is what Israel has to fight with! - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
Perez's vile actions against marriage is as respectful as sending him to a place where they obviously do not respect women. of course I don't think we should send Perez Hilton to Iran. Bringing up Perez was the only way I could deal with an issue that was so cold and harsh. it is amusing to think of sending him to a place of intolerance because they would hang him immediately. don't be... more... - Noah David Simon
I can handle your comment as long as you continue to be humorous while expressing your thoughts. Humor definitely takes the edge off your anger and hostility. DON'T You dare get defensive. I'm holding an olive branch. - Myrna
your olive branch is a bit technical for humanity - Noah David Simon
I told you not to get defensive. And I'm going to follow my own advice now. - Myrna
I thought it was hilarious. the irony that you can't see the shortcomings of your own metaphor of olives had me in stitches. oh well. Igor why did you do this to me? she isn't open minded. she has no color either. she is as pale and hateful as her photo shows. I can't stand people that can't take a joke. I'm not here to sap the life out of myself with those that play at the technicalities of tolerance. she really is like Perez Hilton. send Myrna please... crikey. - Noah David Simon
tolerance isn't a game show. you respect difference or you don't. if you don't respect marriage... if you don't respect the right to a people for a nation. if you don't respect other people's social contracts. it probably is because you are a hater. I love to offend you if you are a hater. you can request that gay people be identified by government contracts like those who can give... more... - Noah David Simon
perhaps in Iran they call Marriage a "Two State Solution"? Marriage is to protect those that are planning to build life together through procreation with each other. It is designed to protect those in society that have to go through both the burden and joy of childbirth. this "marriage" and abortion in Iran is wrong - Noah David Simon
What radical Iran is doing is inducing fear to its own people. This is how they control the populace. In one way it is Brain Washing! They may have done it a few times, and then have all women believe they will do it again and again. It is barbaric religious act, that is being used against their own people. Maybe it is not even the true part of Islam to do this, maybe it is written in the Koran to do this. I am not an expert on Koran. - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
But horrible things have been done to a group of people to motivate another group.So why are we so surprised? Appalled yes, surprised, no. No need to look hard but to what Hitler did to or own people during the Holocaust. Stalin did nasty things to the Jews as well. Then there is Gulag! Persecution happens again and again. Here Radical Islam persecuting its own people to protect themselves and survive! - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
you are missing the point about the abuse Igor. these people are playing with laws and intent. the joke is that we are also attempting to play with them. we are pretending these people are rational. we have blown a major opportunity to get involved and revolutionize their society. we would of had the UN and Russia on board to rebuild Iran. instead we play weak and let the Iranians make... more... - Noah David Simon
Noah, I agree the current American administration is going about involvement in Iran very wrong. I do not want war with Iran, but it maybe unavoidable. America is not applying pressure on Iran to have them change. And this is a mistake! Israel's security is in stake. Israel will have to act! Please read to what Natan Sharansky has to say about this http://natansharansky.org/2009... - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
it is obvious to me that you can't convince people who hate us that we should defend people. the "two state solution" is obviously an Iranian marriage. what is Islam's take on abortion? just wondering - Noah David Simon
"two states" "one state" is not the issue, the issue is Israeli security! - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
it does matter. one state is worse then two states. there are many states obviously and it comes down to not always drawing the line of Palestine within any line Israel draws. if "two states" are an Iranian marriage, then one state would be a Perez Hilton marriage. both systems are punitive. of course there needs to be different identities and different social contracts representing the... more... - Noah David Simon
Noah, there is possible, there is probable, and there is desired. We all have our own utopia! - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

Noah, it is up to us to stop this madness. It is up to us to bring a change. Will it ever happen? I do not know. But it is hurting the whole world. We are at fault here! - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
If this is the evil Iran's president allows or endorses, he has no right to criticize Israel for anything. And I seriously doubt you'd ever find any Israeli being that barbaric. - George Hall (Australia)
@George Hall. Amen brother. we aren't perfect, but no Jew would be this cold with their religious logic. there is a point where argument and code is lost. the essence of Chasidism for instance is not an orthodoxy, but rather is to get away from law and enter the spirit. the idea of a mechanical religion is an abortion. mechanical religion is no better the the "science" of leftism and is just as cruel. - Noah David Simon
Just curious, do you really dislike Perez Hilton so much? -Myrna... - AsheDina
The question is Myrna, WHY do YOU like him?? He is a sick pathetic pig - AsheDina
hey Mad Jewess. I'm not that angry at Perez. he ain't as bad as the pres of Iran. I'm being a bit over the top with metaphor. Perez Hilton is an angry gay dude... but his cold logic on what is marriage is just as mechanical. I wouldn't call Hilton a murderer. part of me is trying to make a point that marriage is a function. both Iran and Prop8 opponents don't get it. their actions are not equivalent. - Noah David Simon
Mad Jews of FriendFeed! hahahha - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
AsheDina isn't mad at all. that is her blog name - Noah David Simon
Religious extremes and secular extremes go against the spirit of the Torah anyway, from what I've heard. - George Hall (Australia)
yes it is true. all of Leviticus is not applicable as a life and death law because obviously all of us are in default of it's ritual. I'm not exactly sacrificing animals in a temple. that is the major difference between Judaism and Islam. Islam is always applicable... and it says kill Jews. the Fitna of world war 1 is obviously over and most of us are pretending otherwise - Noah David Simon
Well, I dont GET why ANYONE would actually LIKE Perez Hilton - AsheDina
I agree - Noah David Simon
WTF, I thought the Issue was the lives of these women being RAPED and MURDERED. How the hell did this turn into some perverted political issue? It's a human rights issue. The Iranians who are executing hold so little value in the life of the woman they will do anything to get around some arbitrary "rule". These women are willing to die after the horror they live through. THAT is the issue. - Heather
the issue is abuse of marriage Heather. Iran and Perez Hilton have so much in common. and it is a perverted political issue that I didn't make. - Noah David Simon

carrie-prejean-33
very sad for people that they can't respect people's religion. as if this had nothing to do with politics. just a technicality. and the prop8 protesters act like they aren't punitive? no one thinks this is about equal rights anymore. just snobby elitist prop8 protesters. I hope this carries over to the next presidential election so we can kick Obama out of power - Noah David Simon
Anyone who doesn't realize that Carrie Prejean is an manipulative opportunist taking advantage of the pro-prop8 bigots is not paying attention. Or their bigotry and hate is too strong to see anything clearly. - The Web's Wendell Wittler
She's being asked to resign because she lied through her teeth about topless photos not her bigotry. And by the way Noah, you and your kind are behind the times on this one. The tide is turning in favor of marriage equality not against it. - Jeff Jones
hey @Jeff Jone the tide is turning? lol... what election to the Gay Marriage people get endorsed by? did even Obama support your totalitarian bigoted Gay Marriage argument? not a chance! since when did Gay people have pregnancy issues? did you clone yourself? no tide turned and I still have to live in danger of making child payments every time I get laid. your arguments are divisive and... more... - Noah David Simon
Noah... take a look at recent polls. They are trending very quickly towards public acceptance of gay marriage so your bigot boat has sailed.

Brilliant argument there bub. And only a... more... - Jeff Jones

what is most discouraging is that people might of given "Gay Marriage" a thought if you had an argument for it beyond emotion.

She lied about her boobles and her semi-nude photos. The selfish witch should not resign; she and her righteous breasts for Jesus should get the steel-toed boot. - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
She shouldn't resign. If the organizers think she broke the rules they should stop being spineless and take her crown back. If she didn't they should leave her alone and defend her right to free speech. She didn't sign a contract forgoing her right to share her opinion (even a bigoted one) so her opinion shouldn't be part of the discussion surrounding her status as Ms Cali. - Bill Rawlinson

gender difference is all over law. just try to use a woman's bathroom. when a domestic dispute occurs the police are required to take a woman's side when it is chosen which side gets to keep the child. even when the woman is "post pardon" from pregnancy. this is also gender in precedent and reflects our reality. *#(% ....lol pregnancy @Jeff Jones isn't "rational"? *#(% maybe not for the... more... - Noah David Simon

http://ff.im/2P9zg Gay Marriage Opponent Topless Photos Leaked. of course PreJean didn't get justice... it would be like saying this thread isn't a Kangaroo court that is out to libel. this is a witch hunt against religion (and logic for that matter) and those that are looking to support the constitution are in a lot of trouble. I'm hardly a strict conservative, but these accusations are unforgivable and completely off topic. - Noah David Simon
Since there's no public way to see who has blocked whom, public announcements of blocking in comments or posts is arguably of use for those seeking said information. Whether others get off sexually or not I couldn't say, but for me there was none. Hope that clears that up. If it helps to know then I blocked Noah because of repeated comments he left that were - in my opinion - pure bile,... more... - Mark H
elaborate? can you? you made an accusation Mark now detail it. I'd hate to see that you use conjecture to accuse someone of bigotry. examples? the argument is about PreJean. do you assume that those that support PreJean are vile? would you block PreJean herself? why debate at all if you assume that those that disagree are worthy of blocking. seems to be less a debate and more a litmus test of who you ostracize. would I be right to assume that PreJean herself would not get justice in such a forum? - ❁ⓟⓘⓝⓚ❁ⓖⓐⓡⓓⓔⓝ❁
somehow the libel in the thread is reflective of the very issue on hand. this is not objective. people are not qualifying their hostility. what is amusing is they do it repeatedly and do not put effort into explaining their accusations. this is why *I* say there is bigotry. you say there is bigotry because you believe me to be "vile", but you do not elaborate at all. even when we ask... more... - Noah David Simon
it's very simple Duncan. you don't have a right to let people libel @Noah without elaborations of what they are accusing him of. It isn't legal either. @Noah and I have asked people to elaborate their claims and they have not. it is libelous for them to remain on this thread because they do not consider the discourse seriously. to not take action now @Duncan betrays bias and bigotry on your part. you are reflective of the forum. - ❁ⓟⓘⓝⓚ❁ⓖⓐⓡⓓⓔⓝ❁
@pink garden - given that "bigot" is a relatively subjective term, it is almost impossible to level libel charges in that direction unless you are very specific. Since no one is posting any .wav files ranting against Noah, your accusations of slander land squarely in.... libel territory, against anyone you've accused. It is easy to throw those terms around when you are utterly intolerant of the opinion being voiced = http://tinyurl.com/qaf7yl - Jennifer Dittrich
libel isn't only audio. that is as stupid as saying pregnancy isn't "logical". as for subjective terms... everything is subjective. but if we ask the same people to repeatedly spell out their accusations in detail and they don't then it is clear cut. @Duncan please block the people who are libeling @Noah. you are responsible. your discretion is taken very seriously. don't turn this into a beauty pageant of mud slingers. - ❁ⓟⓘⓝⓚ❁ⓖⓐⓡⓓⓔⓝ❁
@pink - libel is published (printed, written, etc.), slander is oral (spoken in public, on television, recorded as an audio file, etc) as far as the laws in the US are concerned. - Jennifer Dittrich
this is neither. printed or oral. your categorical sense is the equivalent of "gay marriage" - Noah David Simon
Back to the actual subject of the post, I don't necessarily think she should resign, if that's what her conscience tells her. There has been a clear violation of her contract. What she thinks about gay marriage should have no relationship to that circumstance, pro or against. I think a lot of people supporting her, and denigrating her would not necessarily hold those positions if they weren't taking her gay marriage stance into account. - Jennifer Dittrich
since you are ignoring @Noah. What he said is this "this is neither. printed or oral. your categorical sense is the equivalent of "gay marriage"". of course she has been violated. and @Noah has too. and right now this is no longer about PreJean and the contest, but rather is about @Duncan's values. we are demanding that all people that are libeling @Noah without elaboration here be... more... - ❁ⓟⓘⓝⓚ❁ⓖⓐⓡⓓⓔⓝ❁

I find it amusing that people who want to ignore the technicalities of marriage are so anal about the wording of character assassination. - Noah David Simon
@PinkLegalWizard: I'd give you examples but I've blocked him. This means I can't see his entries. I've no intention of unblocking him. This means I'll never see his entries again. I hope that's clarified the situation to your satisfaction. Please feel free to rant and/or rave incoherently. - Mark H

The Ken Rogoff Study That Tim Geithner Refuses To Read
"Reinhart and Rogoff studied every banking crisis of the past generation and made some startling observations. One in particular caught my attention. It has to do with the subsequent rise in government debt which, according to Reinhart and Rogoff, has been "... a defining characteristic of the aftermath of banking crises for over a century". According to the authors, governments inevitably underestimate the ultimate cost of a banking crisis, because the indirect costs (such as falling tax revenue in subsequent years) end up much higher than predicted. The IMF estimates that the cost of the current crisis to the United States will eventually reach 34% of GDP or close to $5 trillion. However, the Obama administration, through its various implicit and explicit guarantees, is already using a number close to $9 trillion4. And Reinhart and Rogoff's historical average of 86% of GDP implies an ultimate cost of over $12 trillion!" - ❁ⓟⓘⓝⓚ❁ⓖⓐⓡⓓⓔⓝ❁ from Bookmarklet

Christopher Harley
I just got it from Netflix. Jandy reminded me that I need to watch it again. - Christopher Harley from Likaholix
You do need to watch it again. And again. And again. And again. :) - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
One of my top, top, top favorite movies - brilliant. Also, what Jandy said. - Anthony Citrano
I guess I need to add this to the queue right now. - Dave Roth
@Dave: yes, you do. - Anthony Citrano
sigh David Lynch.... - Internet's Tad
Oh, I like this movie. - Derrick
Hmm. I must have missed something. I just thought it was weird and incomprehensible. - Leo Laporte
Leo - Did you like Blue Velvet or Wild at Heart? some people just plain don't like David Lynch. And I found Mulholland Drive to be weird and incomprehensible as well, but brilliant. - Internet's Tad
I liked Blue Velvet a lot. Twin Peaks, too. Mullholland Drive is much less coherent than his earlier stuf. - Leo Laporte
I saw Blue Velvet at too early an age. :( - Derrick
Anthony. What makes this movie brilliant? I use the term movie loosely because it was originally a pilot for ABC which is one of the reasons it's narrative is horribly incomplete. - Gregg Scott
The scene I just posted is absolutely brilliant. - Internet's Tad
Leo, just wait until you see INLAND EMPIRE. Mulholland Drive is like the most coherent movie ever made in comparison. :) MD is actually very coherent, you just have to watch it two or three times first. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Apparently Leo's never seen Eraserhead. Or Lost Highway. Both make Mulholland Drive look like There's Something About Mary. - Akiva Moskovitz
Watching Eraserhead is like having your brain pulled inside out and then set on fire. - Internet's Tad
I think Eraserhead and Wild at Heart are the only two Lynch films I've never seen. Oh, and Fire Walk With Me. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Jandy - you totally need to get with the Wild at Heart. wow - Can't be a Lynch fan if you haven't seen that! - Internet's Tad
It's on my DVR, actually, unless it deleted it. *checks* Nope, still have it. Ooh, also have Diary of a Chambermaid, which is Bunuel, so it's probably trippy. And Blowup, which is at least mod London... I should watch some of these. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Dunno about that, Tad. Wild at Heart is, by far, my least favorite Lynch movie. It's the closest he ever gets to losing it and going straight into accidental self-parody. - Akiva Moskovitz
I've seen them all and am a big Lynch fan. @Gregg - at a very high level I found the multi-layered storyline brilliant (while challenging), esp. with regard to human delusion and fantasy; I found the film's visual landscape incredible; and there are countless moments in the film that are touching in some way (sometimes more than one way.). - Anthony Citrano
also called, "backstabbing prop8 protesters vs. little tiny old people" - Noah David Simon
Gregg, yeah, it's incomplete - you're right, when you know the history of it as a TV pilot, you can see those seams, but even in general it's incomplete because it's a dreamscape. I've never had a dream that was complete. Not everything ties up absolutely, but that's okay...it doesn't have to. It works thematically and emotionally. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
the best part about this movie is in the end the little tiny old people bring the lesbians to hell. am I wrong here? - Noah David Simon
@Noah. You are wrong. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
elaborate. I see the little tiny old people punish the backstabbing lesbians. maybe you got lost in the metaphor but I'd say it's a pretty right wing take on gay relationships. those big city LA people punished by humble old conservatives and their family values. not exactly flattering for the Janeane Garofalo set. by the way Swine Flu? http://ff.im/1hqgl - Noah David Simon
It would have made agreat TV series but as it is, it's still my favourite Lynch film. And I'm a big fan. If you want incomprehensible check out Inland Empire, which is amazing but probably not for everyone. - Todd Brunner from twhirl
I get that you ass kissers like the movie... but don't you think about what it is about? what are you afraid of? there is a message here and I don't hear any of you saying anything beyond "surreal". - Noah David Simon
Mulholland Drive is my second favorite David Lynch film (Lost Highway is my favorite). Naomi Watts performance in MD blows me away. I haven't been able to get through Inland Empire though. - jbrotherlove
@Noah There are no messages in Lynch films. They are just surreal journies that leave you wondering. Some of us like that kinda stuff. - Todd Brunner from twhirl
@Noah, the message is that Hollywood is a soul-sucking hell of a place that offers you dreams and gives you nightmares. If there is a message. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
and what was the lifestyle reflected in the movie Jandy? were they Muslim Conservatives? there was meaning here. you just don't want acknowledge it. the fact that it was chosen to reflect a Hollywood Gay relationship was no coincidence. keep in mind the context of when the movie was made!!! when Ellen Degeneres relationship was a media story. Todd. you are very wrong. I assure you the reason you like it is because it is able to say things you know, but are afraid to articulate - Noah David Simon

I'm not understanding Noah's point. are you suggesting that Lynch is homophobic in some way or wants us to believe lesbians & gays should be punished? - jbrotherlove
I'm saying that many great writers and stories reflect bigotry and bias. it has no effect on the value of the media. there is obviously a criticism of a lifestyle in this movie. are we saying that gay people could not possibly collectively reflect a narrative? is this not what writing is all about. to create a reflective context. I refuse to see this movie as arbitrary - Noah David Simon
I don't think anyone would doubt "many great writers and stories reflect bigotry and bias". it's how you are applying that idea to Mulholland Drive and Davind Lynch that doesn't compute. - jbrotherlove
the woman's desire is to take part in a gay relationship and a Hollywood dream. instead of recieving her dream she is punished by the narrative. you say it doesn't "compute" but you don't elaborate. I didn't write the story. I believe the details of the woman's life are related to her outcome - Noah David Simon
@jb i think you're feeding the troll, as they say. - Anthony Citrano
I didn't get any statement from the narrative of a meaningless nature of the plot. Anthony Tu Quoque. You are the troll because you give nothing. I'm sharing my thoughts. this is sad. I didn't write the movie. I'm just articulating the plot. I'm still waiting for an alternative explanation as to why the woman's explicit lifestyle was such a large part of the film. - Noah David Simon
jbrotherlove, you are spot on. any attempt to review this film as anything other than a semi-surreal Lynch romp is misguided. And I find the attempted pointer towards homophobia laughable at best. - Cathy Brooks from twhirl

Human subject appears to want to ride an inflatable bird. I think for proper balance, he should be sitting more forward with legs in front of the wings. The material appears to be standard plastic, probably inflated with air which might cause excess moisture when in direct contact with human skin. That might be the intent of the subject. Unknown. For better photographic results, the lamp should probably be out of frame and on the right for better framing of the subject. Amateur. Ok, if intended! - ·[▪_▪]·

Verizon boots 1938media over previous mistakes, boycott call - http://video.knbc.com/player...
What's not clear: were the videos in question ever on the phone, and second, surely if this was an issue, they would have done due diligence before the deal. - Duncan Riley from Bookmarklet
From the news report: "Verizon said the controversial video was never shown on it's vcast service, and was never intended to be made available." - Ken Sheppardson
The video in question was posted A YEAR AGO! Didn't Verizon see this coming? - Pat Hawks
Pat, my question exactly. Ken, I heard that bit, but then what were people protesting about? the context doesn't fit, how can you boycott something that wasn't there? - Duncan Riley
Someone found out about the video, a huge public protest happened, it would become a media circus because someone used a keyword "racism". So Verizon went nuts and said "Ohh we need to make a statement and do something now! Who cares what?" - Candace
Maybe people are just upset Verizon would do business with Feldman? - Pat Hawks
Verizon is full of shit. Loren is not a racist... I'm not going to stand for this PC crap! - Noah David Simon
ok, is it just me or did Channel 4 News spell "activist" wrong? acctivist? just sayin' - Christine Lu
Now, THAT's funny. - Michael Markman
It doesn't matter when the videos were made - much like it doesn't matter when a scandal arises over someone else's past behavior - like Obama's pastor & McCain's association w/ Gov. Williams. The behavior may be in the past - but the "guilt by association" is always in the present. Verizon clearly decided not to get behind Loren in this. Sometimes, your past does come back to haunt you. Even if it's not 'fair'. - Lucretia Pruitt
Lucretia, the thing that doesn't make sense is why Verizon didn't think about this BEFORE making the deal, sense the videos didn't just pop up. - Pat Hawks
Too bad the social media doesn't have the power of the mainstream media yet. Verizon could get a load of us calling "bs" on the whole thing. Though I doubt that will make them panic as much as this story did. ...It's terrible but, I'm laughing. Because this...this is funny. - Candace

I think video is racist. Verizon and 1938 is a different story but the video is racist. - Akshay Dodeja
Verizon is just a bunch of dolts wearing suits. If they didn't see it before it's because they didn't look for it. In other words: they didn't do their job. When they awoke from their slumber they were being pushed around by a bunch of hysterical PC ankle-biters. - William, CPU Media

hahaha this is great. I feel like 'internet people' have a much healthier conception of racism. Taking tech nigga out of context could easily make Loren a racist. But it really started a conversation, which is what I think what Loren originally hoped to do. - Daniel Morgan
"Hello LA Humanity? This is Dave Winer. Did you know..." Have to say, glad to see feldboy getting nailed. Yep I am. - jeneane sessum
@daniel morgan . I'm sorry but your comment "internet people" I find degrading to those of us who use the internet. I am afraid I am going to have to begin a public boycott of Friend Feed since they are allowing you to be on Friend Feed spouting such degrading stereotypes of people on the internet. ...I guess the internet is serious business after all. - Candace
It appears things flared up over the weekend. I would just guess that in the wake of the announcement, the public started browsing Loren's back catalog. The video is linked to and/or embedded on a number of sites over the past few days. The earliest references to the boycott by Najee Ali, Project Islamic Hope, that I can find are from yesterday: http://tinyurl.com/5k4bxq and http://tinyurl.com/6s86yh. - Ken Sheppardson

I'm a Republican, but this "chicker shit semi-socialism" is worse then real socialism. just do it already. they are wasting resources with indecision. In a decade we will reverse it all if he knows how to do it right... of course he doesn't (that was why we needed McCain)... so we are fucked.

Hey Noah! First off, I'm not all that happy that Seesmic censored your video. I think they didn't censor it because of the content, but the title. Anyway, I watched the rest of them you sent to me and I understand the situation better. You obviously know much more about Israel than I do (you being Jewish of course). I'm not trying to be a little 14 year old jerk off or anything (well, at least in my mind). Cheers. - Michael Forian
the above comment isn't to you Forian. the above comment is to the fart knocker who left a comment on my blog. on disqus he is know as fake idea or something like that. it is probably nasty spam. When I was your age I shared reservations about marshal law and suspended rights. I was an atheist till I was 17 years old. my best friend in highschool was half Egyptian. I am not a hater. - Noah David Simon
Noah, I didn't think the comment above was directed towards me at all. I was talking only about your video responses on Seesmic. - Michael Forian
this post is pissing off both the left and the right. my point is... whatever you are going to do. do it. I'm not in the government. I can't see the raw facts. I don't know how ill our country is. Obama could be lying. Israel could be holding gay rape orgies with Palestinian children.... how the fuck would I know? ...and how would that change my opinion of the Jewish state? no it would not. my point is that whatever they are going to do... they should do it. it just gets worse. - Noah David Simon

yes. just post the link in your own timeline. it will go to your links. I know about it. a lot of action happening in facebook. I just checked in on twitter tonight. the site is dead. then I went to identica. identica has all the features of twitter now. and I still have a timeline there of everything here - Noah David Simon
I prefer to not post the friendfeed though. I want people to open up the got media. the comments from blog posts all go to disqus and intensedebate anyway. what is more... I just set up disqus to record seesmic friendfeed posts. (that is if they don't censor... and if they do I will switch to blip.tv posts) - Noah David Simon
the real lesson for me last night (yes I have thought this over)... is not so much that I will stop using Seesmic. though I will avoid it more now... but the real lesson here is that I will no longer use Seesmic embeds on my blog. for one thing it slows shit down. I will only use blip TV and will post a seesmic link... probably a seesmic link to a friendfeed post cuz I don't trust seesmic's discretion now. when I add seesmic to my blog and they pull the video it fucks me up - Noah David Simon
yes... that is the answer. no more seesmic on my blog. I will still use seesmic. but will download files that I like for blip.tv - Noah David Simon
Just download the file right after you record it. But I would not be surprised if Seesmic Bans you soon, if you keep talking about Politics and Sexuality. Seesmic is a monotone world that cares only about being politically correct. Seesmic only cares about cheating people to invest into their FAILED BUSINESS Model.

BBC NEWS | Africa | Gaddafi elected as next AU leader
"Before he arrived at the summit, he circulated a letter saying he was coming as the king of the traditional kings of Africa and he wanted to be seated as the king of kings, our correspondent says. Col Gaddafi has previously outlined his vision for African unity. He wants a single African military force, a single currency and a single passport for Africans to move within the continent. Last August, a meeting of more than 200 African kings and traditional rulers bestowed the title "king of kings" on the Libyan leader." - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק from Bookmarklet

Student auctions off virginity for offers of more than £2.5 million - Telegraph - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news...
Student auctions off virginity for offers of more than £2.5 million - Telegraph
"A student who is auctioning her virginity to pay for a masters degree in Family and Marriage therapy has seen bidding hit £2.5million ($3.7m). Natalie Dylan, 22, claims her offer of a one-night stand has persuaded 10,000 men to bid for sex with her. Last September, when her auction came to light, she had received bids up to £162,000 ($243,000) but since then interest in her has rocketed. The student who has a degree in Women's Studies insisted she was not demeaning herself. Miss Dylan, from San Diego, California, USA, said she was persuaded to offer herself to the highest bidder after her sister Avia, 23, paid for her own degree after working as a prostitute for three weeks." - RAPatton from Bookmarklet
Had to see that comin'! - Christopher Harley
I love the fact that she's a Women Studies major. It's perfect. - James Ferguson
i'm really not sure what to say. . . - Jason Shultz from twhirl
gross. sad. not smart. - JoEllen
sure she'll get the money. but im sure she'll regret this. - AJ Batac
for some reason I feel very sad about my gender, it's not demeaning to herself it's demeaning to the men - so many of us seem to put their penis before anything else, I know it's the male perogative across all of nature but you'd have thought we had advanced even just a little! Also, is this not a high profile case of prostitution? would the sale be legal considering the conservative nature of the US policy makers? - alphaxion
Reminds me of this joke: http://www.coreknowledge.org/blog... - Jemm
a degree in family and marriage therapy? yes, the irony is incredible - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
*checks total net worth* Dammit.... - MVB (Grinch of FF)
I'd get the money up front. There aren't any do-overs. And what does the exchange look like? Will it be live on the internet for that amount of money? Does it happen in a motel 6 or the 4 Seasons? Is there dinner first? Kissing? Talking? Awkward would be the word that comes to mind. - Todd Hoff
@alphaxion It's funny to hear someone talking about the US having conservative lawmakers when in London they live under 24 hour surveillance cameras on every street corner and gun's are illegal across the UK. - Jason Shultz from twhirl
Although, I really did get a kick out of watching Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear tell the girl from the US "welcome to the free world," or something similar. That was awesome. Because we really are losing our freedoms here as well. - Jason Shultz from twhirl
i'm afraid i find it hard to believe she'd really get that much money, that is just weird. Up to about 100k i could believe but after that it just has to be pranksters. You can almost go into space for $2mio (or will be, soon) and someone would spend it on 1 girl? - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
If I did that, I'd probably get about $20. - Morton Fox
jason: oh I have plenty of gripes with the UK government (we're more fascist than conservative!) but that hardly changes the fact that the US is certainly conservative when it comes to law making and I don't know of anywhere that prostitution is legal (even tho I think it should be, it's good for all involved when it comes to safety and cleanliness). - alphaxion
Prostitution is legal in the counties surrounding Las Vegas NV. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
@alphaxion Prostitution is legal in Nevada. But not in Las Vegas, I believe. We're still doing better then the UK and Australia though, just not for much longer I believe. - Jason Shultz from twhirl
And what's wrong with this, exactly? 1) It's just sex. 2) It's just money. 3) It's her body and her right to do with it as she wishes, for money or otherwise. I don't understand the people who get all judgmental about (consensual, voluntary) prostitution. - Eric P
The fact that her sister is a hooker may have slightly influenced this line of reasoning. - MVB (Grinch of FF)
Wow... I wish some one had told me you could sell it, I gave mine away. You think some one would buy a used one? - J. Abdul-Qahhar
eric: I'm not getting judgemental, I just raise questions on the legality of it and feel sorry for the men being taken for a ride (figuratively and litrally) for $2.5million just for a shag. It speaks more about those men than anything else. As I said above, I support her right to do it. - alphaxion
@jason/tina ta, I didn't know if it was legal or if it was just "looked away from" much in the way that the coffee shops in amsterdam were operated under. Oh, and it's not just London that is under 24/7 survailance, it's every urban area. The buses here in Leeds have no fewer than 7 CCTV cameras in them each! - alphaxion
OFFICIAL:- I'll hump / be humped by anything (animal, vegetable or mineral) for £2.5million. NOTE: I have a virgin bum hole. - Toby Graham
Alphaxion she is doing it through Amsterdam - mjc
The busses in Phoenix have 1 or 2, at least the last time I was on one they did. I wasn't aware that it was in all urban areas of the UK. Some things here are still governed under State's rights, but the Fed is slowly but surely consolidating the power in DC. What's sad is that our representatives are the ones letting it happen. - Jason Shultz from twhirl
I tried doing this, except I ended up in the red, Funny how that works. - Will Higgins™
makes you wonder how much a man offering his virgin "ring" on auction would get just to compare despiration between the genders :S - alphaxion
I tried that and they counter-offered by paying me to keep my clothes on. What is up with that? D'oh! ;-) - Mathew A. Koeneker
There is indeed a hypocrisy, because after this a lot of companies would certainly hesitate to hire her based on that. But if she really gets that amount of money she can get a jump on the "minor and controversial celebrity" list, and if she is smart she can earn a nice living from TV shows and the like. - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
maybe she could live-stream the whole thing and charge for access - Nathan Rein
... but that might make the guy nervous, and then what if he can't get it up? does he still have to pay? - Nathan Rein
I can't help but think of how awkward the whole event would be... "Hi..." "Hey." "So... um... you're studying therapy n' stuff?" "Yeah" "Cool...Uh... so... should we just...um... well - on the bed? or... I mean..." "Whateves." "Oh... ok. (awkward cough)" - JoEllen
I wonder if, after paying US$5M, they'll do it more then just once? And, will it be with or without protection? - Jason Shultz from twhirl
not a fan of this story. umm, how is it legal, first of all - Melissa Maskevich
Melissa, I believe the transaction would take place in a country where it is legal - RAPatton
Legal in Nevada. - MVB (Grinch of FF)
OMG. If I only had it all to do over again ......... - Martha
I never understood the whole "demeaning" aspect of a concious decision, undertaken by choice, affecting only one's self. How is what she wants to allow happen to her own body anyone else's problem or concern? - Michael W. May
++ MwM. The true concern should be around the skyrocketing costs of education that would make this kind of bargain appealing to someone. And, also, if virginity is going at that kind of premium, perhaps our financial gurus should be talking about the new punani economy. - Jason Toney
"the new punani economy" Now that is a good one. ++ :-) - Mathew A. Koeneker
You know, I should start tracking how frequently this story repeats. It seems to be repeating (with a new name, face, and price tag) every so often. I think it's repeating more frequently these days. - Wirehead
GAH. - Cheryl Jones
Would this work for guys too? ;) - Meryn Stol
@Dawn: That's kind of way over the top isn't it? How does a one time stint as a prostitute "set herself up as a rape victim"? Are you also of the opinion that girls who where mini skirts are asking to be be raped? - Eric P
Another article from last year: http://a11news.com/641... - as usual, there's a photo of a pretty girl and some strange guy in the background. - Jason Shultz from twhirl

In 2007, 18-year-old Carys Copestake tried to sell her virginity for £10,000. In 2004, 18-year-old Rosie Reid, a lesbian student at Bristol University, auctioned hers off for £8,400. - Jason Shultz from twhirl
I'd hit it. Well, I wouldn't *pay* to hit it, but if it were free... - Joey Gibson
I had a friend who paid for college and raised her daughter while stripping at Mitchell Brothers O'Farrell Theatre in San Francisco. Can't say that I can judge her for doing what she needed to do to succeed. - Kenley Neufeld
I knew several women at Emory who paid their way through school as dancers. OTOH I knew other women who became used up druggies after working as dancers. Chances are those that succeeded and those that failed would have wound up at nearly the same destination even if they'd chosen a different path to get there. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Thanks to the internet, people find brand new ways to desperately seek the attendion they feel they need...and will do ANYTHING to get it. - Fleagle
I know and have known a handful of girls that worked in various aspects of the sex industry. All are more than capable of getting another job if they wanted, and none come from especially bad backgrounds (nothing involving drugs or abuse or anything like that). When asked, they say they do it for the money (though a few said "I like it"). But there's simply no other way a girl can make as much money part-time while in school, let alone come close to paying her own tuition. - Eric P
@alphaxion Prostitution is legal in New Zealand - Alistair (alpinefolk)
Mark - no freakin' way! Ain't nothing sacred? - Martha
Apparently not, Martha... Apparently not... - MVB (Grinch of FF)

I really, really, really don't get the outrage here. A grown woman is choosing to have sex for the first time at the age of 23, and found a way to make millions of dollars for (presumably...) minutes of work. - Chris Hollander
@Chris the outrage is mis-directed jealousy - MVB (Grinch of FF)
@Mark - the outrage is at the 23 year old stupidity - JoEllen
boy... 10 000+ unsatisfied men... and queue of hypocrites telling her what to do... she has her own head with brain and own body - she probably doesn't need any advisor. - A.T.
doesn't even have to do with morals or any of that stuff, but people like this are why humanity is sinking - Cee Bee
@JoEllen - lots of people do very stupid things. few of them walk away with 2.5m. there are much, much worse ways that one could lose their virginity... what, exactly, is so stupid about what she's doing? - Chris Hollander
From virgin to street-walker in one easy payment... - Christian (Simply X)
@ Chris - Though it is arguable that most first time encounters are not always pleasurable, it is for certain that they are memorable and that most of female society (when they have control of the situation) reserves that moment for a private moment with someone special. I think it is stupid because I think she'll regret it, and because she's already made a big deal of it. - JoEllen
I really think my "punani economy" joke should've gotten more love. - Jason Toney

@Tut lol, i agree, just playing with you. :) - Jason Shultz from twhirl
Um, sorry but she is quite attractive. Easy work for great pay. Somehow doubt she's a virgin. If you're going to pay that much, I would think you would want someone that knows what they're doing. On the other hand, shed pretty much have to do anything you asked (as long as it wasn't paintful or caused bleeding). It's somehow brilliant yet weird at the same time. - Maria
Whore by definition. - Mattb4rd
I just thought of something, was the movie "Indecent Proposal" the impetus for all of this? - Jason Shultz from twhirl
I don't understand the indignation. A legal adult is engaging in a legal activity. Am I missing something? - MVB (Grinch of FF)
Mark, I agree. Its a woman willingly doing something to earn money. She is dictating how its done.. so get over it people. - CW™
How do we know she is a Real Virgin? Is there a way to check? LMAO - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
Is there a money back guarantee is the customer is not satisfied? - Amit Morson
@Lindsey As long as the transaction takes place in one of many Nevada counties or one of many, many countries, of course it's legal. - MVB (Grinch of FF)
Nobody has bothered to mention how much she'll pay in taxes. And she'll pay regardless of where she collects. Americans, paid for their services outside the U.S., are still required to pay the Feds. - Christopher Harley

stats are high that women who engage in this kind of behavior have been previously abused... makes me wonder, since her sister was also involved in a similar scheme. Why would someone do this to themself? - JoEllen
*facepalm* - Susan Beebe
It has Whore written all over it. And I do not mean Prostitute, but Social Media Whore! Maybe Robert Scoble can learn from her? ;-) - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
I blame Scoble for all of this. ;-P - Mathew A. Koeneker
I'm totally amazed with the number of comments this has garnered. - Jason Toney
If I purchase a girl's virginity, is it mine to do with as I please? Could I say give her the money then make her wait to find a good husband? "Hey, that's my virginity now, and I'll do what please with it!" - Matthew DeVries
Is she selling her Virginity or One Hour Sex? - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
How much would she get if she were considered ugly or didn't show a picture of herself? What if her face were covered? How does she prove her virginity? (Hang a sheet out like in old times?) I'm just asking a question is all. Would she get the same amount, less, more? I didn't see anyone else ask. Is this a classic case of marketing? (because it's not a new idea.) - TheMacMommy
@MacMommy In fact it is one of humanity's oldest ideas;) Good questions! I would like to see the contract before bidding. - MVB (Grinch of FF)
What happens if she is Cold as a Fish and the customer gets No Satisfaction? Is there money back? - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
this is why Conservative values are so important. Prostitution is wrong and the reactions here are the exact reason why Noah David Simon is glad to be blocked by the lot of you. Robert Scoble and the rest of the Alist learn from this girl Igor? I would say rather they could teach this girl a thing or two about selling out. and now for feminism in a nut shell coming from the next comment on this thread. See ya... I'm sure you will block me like you did Noah - ❁ⓟⓘⓝⓚ❁ⓖⓐⓡⓓⓔⓝ❁
I doubt an ugly virgin could get the same amount. I mean, sure it's a virgin...but she's ugly. No pics? Who buys pics of something they can't look at? Probably would do better than the ugly pics, though - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
I would have bid maybe 15, 20 bucks for a crack at her, well, crack. She's not that cute and the fact that she's a virgin is a turn off to me. I want someone that knows what they are doing when it comes down to 'bidness time'! - Morgan Haley
I would not do her even if she paid me! LMAO - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
Just curious: why the need to note whether one would "do" a woman whose picture one has seen on the internet? - Ayşe E.
I personally feel a responsibility to the world to notify them if I would, or would not, 'do' a person in question. It removes any doubt or worry that may be out there among the masses. It brings a little bit of peace to a very small part of the world. But if we can help just one child, it will have been worth it. - Morgan Haley
Thanks to Morgan for thinking of the children. Well done. - Ayşe E.
I'm bypassing alot of the ish posted in the comments. 1. While, as a feminist, I rather mortified by this, I'm also rather enthused by a woman feeling empowered enough by her own sexuality to put her self out there like that. And commanding a high price for it. 2. As Mark VandenBerg stated earlier, with the exception of two counties (Washoe, where I live, and Clark, where Vegas is), prostitution is legal in NV. Locals, for the most part, respect it. - Helen Sventitsky
I met two local prostitutes (from the next county over) and had a rather lengthy discussion with them about their profession. - Helen Sventitsky
++ Helen. There's mad ish in the comments. - Jason Toney
+Helen. - Rodfather
I have nothing against prostitutes or the profession, but this lady selling her soul. She wants to sell it good for her, but me thinks she is an Attention Whore, which I do not condone! - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
I agree with Igor on this. I see a lot of flags. First of all she is doing this to go to school for Marriage and Family Therapy. Can you really sell yourself for a degree? Secondly, I can just imagine her sitting with her patients giving them relationship advice. Somehow this doesn't click with being a proper therapist. And lastly, what is going on in the famly that they think prostitution is a fair exchange for education? Very sad. - Adriana
...this is a story as old as men, women, and money. - J. Abdul-Qahhar

50 Ideas on Using Twitter for Business - http://www.chrisbrogan.com/50-idea...
Quote from Kyle Lacy: "This post was amazing!" http://friendfeed.com/e... - Ontario Emperor
don't... they will delete your account. you are talking about corporations here? or real business? How is it that Hamas and Hezballah have a twitter account and somehow twitter thinks I am more dangerous? What a joke this twitter network really is. - Noah David Simon
Hey.. what can I say? I was left speechless. I don't understand how Chris has all this information flowing. ALL THE TIME. - Kyle Lacy
24/7: Chris Brogan's brain: Open all night. - Kyle Lacy
Noah is right. Corporations are not business. This might be better used for the government of China. twitter is not good for small business. - ❁ⓟⓘⓝⓚ❁ⓖⓐⓡⓓⓔⓝ❁
I completely disagree. I have gotten business from Twitter.. it is about authenticity and creating relationships.. not spamming. - Kyle Lacy
The problem is most small biz owners have yet to learn how to communicate via social media.. they can learn though. - Kyle Lacy
time time time... small biz don't have the time... Chris Brogan mentioned large corporations. your point is moot Kyle - Noah David Simon
and solo act too, Noah. But Kyle, if existing strategies that you are familiar with work for you, then fine. Otherwise, I don't know there's other options but to go out from the comfort zone and learn. - Hendry Lee from twhirl
I see a lot of uses for social media.... but it is not advertising and PR. ....education, entertainment... even employment bonding... but promotion is not best here... unless you can really overburden a scene... and that is very very wrong. as for a mom and pop biz... they simply can't get iJustine and Veronica to gee golly wiz the little guy. I'm an artist... and I have optimism... but artists are small business people... and for the most part... this social media experience has been a fail. - Noah David Simon
if anything this experience has hurt my reputation... I would never recommend doing this unless this is what you want to do full time... twitter is unforgiving and libelous. - Noah David Simon
that isn't to say that it is bad here. I mention iJustine... who is nice enough to leave my drawings on her facebook profile... however... in the long run promotion here has been a hole in my time. this is an incestuous mono-culture. There is no place for any free thought... or persuasion. - Noah David Simon
if anything social media is a very efficient brain washing tool. Resistance is futile... you must support this cause or you are blocked and no one reads your comments. it is frankly a sad interaction... and experiment in mob tyranny. The worst aspect of a niche market. Twitter is going to go down in history as a social experiment that made people very miserable and lashed out at the people who put their time into it. ...it remains to be seen if something better can come along.... - Noah David Simon
somehow I have a feeling that what takes twitter's place will not have the kind of zealous idealism that twitter had. the whole idea of free expression failed when twitter left a hole open for @panopticons. free expression and retweeting no longer were legitimate. they crucified the questioner. - Noah David Simon
free will in an infrastructure is not a good archetype. the inherent nature of socializing will test the lines... so now we know we want structure... and once that enters the equation then it is no longer social like life itself. online interaction is inherantly built on training wheels... (those training wheels better not be business promotion) - Noah David Simon
btw... I mention free thought and persuasion... the only reason I'm getting away with saying this is because you probably agree with me. it isn't that twitter isn't for big business, but rather that is inherently a mob tyranny and perhaps big corporations are natural to this ecosystem. Why encourage it? It is not good at all. - Noah David Simon
Is it okay to mix business with the personal on Twitter? My fed agency doesn't have a handle on how to use socmed tools, so I've just been exploring them on my own. I view it as 50% devoted to my personal life and 50% devoted to promoting the NEA and the arts/culture in general. Does it discredit the NEA work that under the same handle I twitter about which workout videos I'm currently... more... - Paulette Beete
@Paulette- I say yes. In fact, it's required. You have to be human. - Chris Brogan
Paulette twitter is perfect for a government agency. That is why twitter accepts terrorist governments like Hamas but not artists like myself. I would keep your personal maintenance to yourself as a rule of thumb. BTW I just farted. - Noah David Simon
@Noah small biz do not have time because they are confused on how to utilize the tool. - Kyle Lacy
Kyle the way to use the tool is through group peer pressure and intimidation. "mom and pop businesses" just don't know who to do that well. so I guess we agree Kyle. If they knew how to intimidate and humiliate any self interested individuals then they wouldn't be small business, they would be the Democratic party. - Noah David Simon
haha. touche, Noah, touche. - Kyle Lacy
Thanks for sharing, nice suggestions and ideas. I'm going to tweet this ☺ - Patty
I'm not sure I like being right this time - Noah David Simon

Nice article, Chris. These are all great ideas to help promote the use of social media throughout business. I think the most important barrier to adoption is the fact that Twitter is a major distraction...IF you allow it to be. However, if you use it at your own pace and under your control it can be quite a useful tool. Cheers, AL - Al Bsharah
