According to a story today, New York’s darling-est whore, Ashley Alexandra Dupré, is suing Joe Francis, the maker of “Girls Gone Wild” (GGW). If you don’t remember, I blogged about Ashley Dupré in March when she took down Eliot Spitzer… in the political sense.
Now, that GGW guy Joe Francis is scum for sure… but Dupré is suing him for $10 Million dollars partly for falsely advertising that she performed for their cameras. Except that – wait for it – she DID perform for their cameras. In fact I read that he has TONS of footage she willingly did for GGW (for some cash) back before she was infamous.
Anyways, Dupré’s lawsuit says that Francis “ruined her reputation”. What? Are you serious? Gee… I would have thought that it was taking your clothes off in front of a camera (and a crowd of drunk guys, also with cameras) and dancing around naked groping yourself that would have ruined your reputation. I would have thought that getting busted prostituting yourself out to strangers would have ruined your reputation… but what do I know? I think Francis (the scum) said it best:
It’s hard to imagine how anyone could actually ruin a hooker’s reputation.
This almost reminds me of Monica Lewinsky who after the VERY famous Bill Clinton scandal found refuge from various media questions by saying that comment on it wasn’t “appropriate”. Hmm… I wouldn’t have thought for her propriety was on the table… apparently neither would she, having spent so much time under it.
Now I’ve used some straight-forward language here… and it’s not because I think I’m immune to the pitfalls of this rock. But what I am big on is personal responsibility. My libertarian leanings tell me that we should be free to make choices, and then be responsible for the consequences… whether gain or pain, treasure or pleasure, shame or fame, embarrassment or harassment. [admit it, how many of you just pronounced harassment like the Brits so that it rhymed! 
...I love this too much] Well, since I’ve taken so much flak for not being compaaaaassionate lately I’ll add the following disclaimer.
Compassionate Disclaimer: Jesus loves everyone mentioned in this post. 
I had blogged that I was bothered by the Texas police raid on that polygamist compound, where it seemed ludicrous that the People’s Republic of Texas could go into these private citizens’ homes on an anonymous tip and take their children away with no evidence… and even the “tip” implied that it was only the post-pubescent girls who could be being abused (which were a small percentage of the 440 children stolen… half of which were under 5)!? 
I'm a Christ-follower, compelled by my faith toward reason, which points directly toward conservatism. This world's daily onslaught of lunacy offends my intellect and senses, so this is my venue to blow off steam.
