PSA:personal ad of the week

"I'm just somebody who is getting up there in years, and I'm looking for a born-again, God-fearing virgin between the ages of 12 and 24 who can bear me children," says Michael Thelemann.Virgins. Virgins, the lot of 'em. But they're all too old for him!

…

Yesterday, Thelemann posted a new sign, omitting his age requirements and specifying that he's not looking for a "pig-worshipping, heathen, white-supremacist wife."

At least he's not being choosy, eh? But since he's only offering a thousand, it seems to me he's somewhat out of touch with the market for virgins, even in Oklahoma. My mother was offered forty racing camels for me!

Internet Identity Theft, Impersonation, and Stalking by Proxy

Internet Stalking. Lifelike shot, but where's the booze?A few of our longtime readers will recall the case of the New Zealand woman who impersonated Viggo Mortensen online for a couple of years. Actually, for all I know she's still doing it. But at the time I tried to make a few points about the illegality of posting information to the Internet which is designed to make people think you are someone else. Thanks to BoingBoing I've come across a nice article about all that and more here.

The data is sketchy; victims volunteered to fill out a questionnaire, and harasser data is, in most cases, provided by the harassed. But there are some insights. For example, increasing numbers of men appear to be applying for help, and overt threats of offline harm occurred in about a quarter of the cases last year.

In about half the cases, victim and perpetrator appear to be strangers. For the rest, it can be deeply, disturbingly personal. 

"With any new technology that comes along, you have the shadow of criminality that follows," Mr. Meloy said, although he added that the Internet, with all its distance and anonymity, provided a unique vehicle for the unleashing of hidden furies.

"It's a much more veiled, shielded, disinhibited way of communicating," Mr. Meloy said, "and much more raw in the expression of aggression."

Linkie o’ the Day: Beautiful Agony

Beautiful Agony 1It’s amazing what you find clicking on “most recently updated” on WordPress. It tends to be more interesting than the “Most popular” which, this week, is Scoble-iffic as always, with strong showings by Dead Raj Kumar and MIT marathoners. BFD! as we say on the W3! By clicking on “Most Recently Updated” blogs, I’ve turned a computer animator on to Canuck Immortal Windsor McKay, found something that will get the nasty red mildew out of my bathroom (is it related to red tide? Apparently yes!) and now, have come (or is that “cum”?) across Beautiful Agony, the least nekkid, most interesting sex site I’ve ever seen.

Beautiful Agony is dedicated to the beauty of Beautiful Agony 3human orgasm. This may be the most erotic thing you have ever seen, yet the only nudity it contains is from the neck up. That’s where people are truly naked.

The videos were made in private by the contributor (and sometimes their partner). We don’t know what they’re doing, or how they are doing it, we just know it’s real and it’s sexy as hell. Make your ears blush by putting on your headphones and turning the sound to eleven.

Beautiful Agony 2Yes, there are free samples. Look for the ones with the red borders and the text underneath that says ‘free sample’.

New agony comes five times per week (at least).

Note to micromanagers everywhere: this must be your spiritual home, because at this very moment, up at the top of the page, it quite clearly says, in large grey-on-white-eurostile lettering, NEXT VIDEO DUE 2 HOURS – 54 MINUTES. I mean, are these people on some kind of a production schedule? Excusing themselves from the dinner table because they’re due “on camera?” The mind boggles. The gonads boggle also, quite an interesting sensation. And since the site isn’t dedicated to filming sex as such, just filming the successful climax (sorry) to Gasmquest, and since we all have our good nights and our off nights, it must be asked:

How do they KNOW??????

Beautiful Agony 4Hey, is that Clay Aiken? And really, who leaves their glasses on? Is that woman a German graphic designer or something? If this is all too much for you, there’s always Jean Michel Jarre’s Beautiful Agony. Slightly different, and almost free!

Now I know why I've been on a Tina Brown fixation Tina Brown Hairdothe past couple of days. It's worrisome, it can't be healthy, and it'll probably result in an unfortunately feathered hairdo if it goes on too long.

Yep, now I know exactly what my brain was trying to tell me. It's true what some of the mellower religious figures say. All things do come to those who wait, if by things you mean things like memories. And a fair few other things come to those who simply interview.

When [20-year-old] Tina took up with Harold Matthew Evans — forty-six at the time and married, with three children — she was selecting for herself one of the most remarkable, successful, and attractive men in all of Britain, and very likely one of the most vulnerable as well.
