You should have warned me that the link is safe for work.

It's real enough, though, that he's fled the country and she's in hiding and has lost her job. Or at least that's what I remember hearing.

This, from ogged's article, is generally decent advice, however:

"Families must pay attention to their private films. If you hand in your computer or mobile phone for repair, make sure you wipe off your films," said the deputy Tehran prosecutor Salarkia.

You don't trust us to judge for ourselves, ogged? Knowingly failing to distribute pornography makes you just as bad as the theocrats, you know.

Teach a man to fish and all that, Tom.

By the way, Tom, "It looks like the type of place you'd imagine Texan high school football players take their girlfriends immediately before accidentally knocking them up" is a classic.

So you make money on the side with "how to" books and videos? I see no other way to interpret 5.

You're no Confucian. I mean that it would ill serve Tom for me to serve up porn to him, when he could be learning to find it for himself.

I'd like someone to brazenly violate this taboo and be famous or well-liked enough to survive the firestorm,

So? Go make a sex tape and put it on the net. You know that it's going to have to be a man, not a woman, to do this chipping away thing, right?

Actually, I think that's probably wrong and anyway, I'm not famous in Iran.

Someone could fake a tape and tell everyone that it's film of the author you wrote about (the one who claimed some random innocent guy tried to rape her because she didn't want to get in trouble for something). If you're wrong about whether or not celebrity protects in Iran, no one would have to feel too terrible about being wrong. (That might be wrong; my morality-meter is on the fritz at the moment.)

Ogged, is this just an excuse to segue into discussing the Britney Spears sex tape?

I thought it had been established that that wasn't Spears.

I think what was established was that the 17-second clip on the internet isn't her. Hope springs eternal, Ogged!

Also, though not remotely on topic, the Brazilian wax is totally yesterday's fashion news. All the hip kids are rockin' the Fun Betty.

Also not remotely on topic: if you make a standard white bread, but add a teaspoon of saffron into the water before mixing the dough, you end up with pure deliciousness.

Nonetheless K-Fed has been shopping a tape around. I expect that he will be extradited to Iran any day now.

Somewhat on topics: Head On is a great movie

As you know these things get in rotation, and I watch the good ones over and over.

Not on topic but good:The 5-part acapella version of Holly's "Rave On" by Steeleye Span

So wait, whoever the woman is, she could get in big trouble b/c she's not married and that's not her husband, right? Or not? I'm a little unclear on how the state views the possible crimes here. Is she in the clear either way?

I find it hard to believe there's a judge anywhere who would give him full custody.

24: If they're not married, apparently it's either lashes or prison for her, and prison for him (up to a year for both of them) (that's what the western news agencies say; no idea if they have it right).

You guys are so behind. They had a sex scandal in Egypt several years ago involving a very rich car dealer and several actresses. The videos (homemade and not intended for distribution) were so pathetic as to turn any watcher off porn for life. Or so I've heard.

That was backward Egyptian decadence captured on film, this is modern narcissistic performance.
