Tyra Banks is an idiot. Sasha Grey lover for life.

this is really whorephobic and gross. how condescending can you be.

TYRA BANKS IS A SLUT SHAMING SHIT HEEEEEAD

ok and please notice how as the interview progresses and sasha is this professional respectable woman who comes off as very intelligent and aware and gives real reasons for why she feels empowered by her job, tyra gets frustrated that she isn’t shaming her into submission and she keeps trying to trick sasha into admitting she feels degraded or has a mental issue or was sexually abused and its just really great because i dont think tyra expected that she would end up looking like the ignorant immature one by the end of this

this is so disgusting oh mY GOD SHUT UP TYRA

I noticed they almost never let Sasha explain herself and when they did, the explanation wasn’t what they wanted so it wasn’t a soulful explanation. I do this and believe this because X. Oh well I see X but I want to see reason Y, so X doesn’t matter because Y is what I’m looking for. That was such a back handed interview, I’m curious why Tyra modeled, was it a X reason or a Y reason, did she feel empowered to have sexualized photos taken of her and then have them photoshopped into a version she could never obtain or was it because of the money and fame? Or are these two things different because you say they are? If you’re going to do something like this and interview someone, give them the same amount of respect you allow yourself to be given, give them the same amount of explanation you allow yourself to explain your opinion, and no she’s not going to be in a diaper. That’s not how the human body words.

Fuck Tyra.

the weird thing about how these things are edited is that if it DIDN’T have horror music behind Sasha explaining what she’s into I’d be like “oh yeah that’s fine and totally okay.” But it’s like the fucking Shining or something in the background.
Tyra is like DEMANDING to know that she was actually sexually abused and actually hates herself and there is some deep dark inner reason why she enjoys doing porn and Sasha’s just like “actually no…”

She is completely respectful, polite, and respectful and has completely chosen this career on her own and finds it empowering and at the end of the day she’s an adult and can make her own choices.
God this is so disgusting and hard to watch. It really slowly progresses into completely disrespectful shaming somewhere in the middle…

Wow.Just…wow.Tyra is sitting there all high and mighty and hoping Sasha will start to break down and cry and admit she’s some kind of sexually abused girl and is ashamed of her choices.For being hounded,Sasha is very composed and respectful the entire time.It is indeed possible for a woman to be a porn star or stripper without her having daddy issues or problems with sexual abuse.You can still go home at the end of the day and go about your routine and life as a “normal” person.Way to stereotype an entire group of people simply because of what some have said.Tyra is a former model,and some could say she has no self-respect because she’s allowed a manager to dictate how she looks,how much she weighs,and have her photos manipulated to be acceptable to magazine and billboard standards.Woman need to quit tearing other women down for what they do,especially if they don’t know (or care to know) the other’s story.

Steubenville Rape Suspects’ Text Messages Paint Very Disturbing Picture of Night Alleged Rape Occurred [TW: Graphic Descriptions of Rape and Sexual Assault, Explicit Content, Graphic Rape, Graphic Sexual Assault, Rape Culture, Rape Enablism, Rape Apologism]

STEUBENVILLE, Ohio – Across a remarkable couple of hours Thursday, JoAnn Gibb, a slight, but tough-minded forensic specialist for the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation sat on a witness stand in a small, third-floor court room here and read the contents of hundreds of teenage text messages – explicit and vulgar, at times celebratory and at other moments desperate and pathetically sad.

They were culled from the cell phones of 17 kids, seized in the investigation that led to two Steubenville High School football players being charged with the August 2012 rape of a 16-year-old West Virginia girl after a night of partying. It is one of the largest cell phone culls in the state’s history, and the contents of those messages intensified the trial in this football-mad, aging steel town.

“It was an extraordinary level of evidence and detail,” said Katie Hanna of the Ohio Alliance to End Sexual Assault and a veteran observer of sexual assault cases. “I’ve never heard of anything like it.”

Seventeen-year-old Trent Mays and 16-year-old Ma’lik Richmond are facing rape charges. Mays is accused of using his fingers to rape the girl, who many have testified to being drunk, in a moving car while another passenger filmed the action. Later, in the basement of a friend’s house, prosecutors allege Richmond digitally raped the passed-out girl while Mays tried to force her to perform oral sex.

Both are charged as juveniles and could be sentenced to prison until age 21. Their closely watched joint trials began here Wednesday and should continue through the weekend. Each maintains his innocence.

On Thursday afternoon, using the suspects’ own words, composed in the moment and reflecting the roller coaster of emotions that such an incident commands, Gibb calmly read the often-profanity-laced, crude, crushing and, at times, grotesque evidence. It was pieced together from an analysis of nearly 350,000 text messages, plus hundreds of thousands of pictures, videos, chats and other exchanges of ultra-connected teens.

The text messages aren’t – on their own – the indomitable evidence that will determine this case. The three material witnesses, plus the girl herself, are expected to testify for the state Friday. Those words will carry far more weight.

Still, the texts managed to shed an unfortunate light on the culture that surrounds the alleged crime.

They included, in the immediate aftermath of the incident, bragging from the defendants, each of whom acknowledged at least some sexual contact with the girl.

“We’re hitting it for real,” texted Mays at 2:20 a.m. of the morning of the alleged accident, after he was asked by a friend, “Where you at?”

Soon there were texts from friends of the boys seeking lewd details: “Did you [expletive] her,” one asked Mays. Others friends begged for pictures that the state says were taken – and later deleted and thus unrecoverable – of the acts. “Hey buddy,” one texted, “you want to send me that pic because you love me?”

Over the following day there was gossip and questions and a sickening realization by the girl of what might have happened.

The girl says she remembers little to nothing because she was either extremely drunk or drugged. Numerous witnesses have described her as intoxicated. Just before the alleged attacks, she was sprawled out in the middle of a street, wearing only shorts and a bra, puking as a group of boys offered each other $3 to urinate on her.

She was so out of it some of the defendant’s friends wondered how any sex acts could have occurred with “a dead girl.” Mays agreed with that description in multiple texts, “LOL, she couldn’t even move.”

The girl, who lives across the river from Steubenville and attends a different high school, became aware of the alleged assault when she was sent a gruesome picture of her that was circulating.

“If that is [semen] on you that is [expletive] crazy,” a friend texted her.

“I hate my life,” the girl texted the friend at a different point. “I don’t even know what the [expletive] happened to me.”

Later she texted a friend, “I swear to God I don’t remember doing anything with them. I remember hearing Trent’s voice telling me to do something, but I said no.”

Eventually the evening after the alleged assault, the girl directly questioned Mays about the incident, the picture and the circulating rumors that she was allegedly sexually assaulted and that everyone in Steubenville knew about it.

“OK, tell me right now what the [expletive] happened last night and don’t lie to me,” she wrote to the defendant. “We need to talk about this right now.”

“Nothing happen last night,” Mays texted back. “You [sexual act] last night and that’s it.”

“OK, that is not all that happened,” she texted. “Tell me the truth now.”

Later, she emailed him demanding: “Why the [expletive] would you let that happen … seriously, you have no [expletive] respect … why wouldn’t you try to help me?”

Soon, reality began setting in for everyone. One of Mays’ friends texted him joking that “the girl’s life is ruined.” Another scolded him: “You’re a felon”, to which Mays responded, “not really.”

Finally another friend, Mark Cole, whose car and home were the sites of the alleged attacks and is expected to be a prosecution witness Friday, lectured Mays on the wisdom of forwarding along a potentially incriminating photo.

“Why are you sending the picture around of [the girl]?” Cole wrote in the first of a series of short texts. “No reason to [send] it … Dude, quit sending it, that’ll get you in deep [expletive].”

“I just sent it to [fellow friend Michael Nodianos].”

[Related: Steubenville rape trial divides Ohio town]

On the night of the attacks, Nodianos, who heard about the incident via pictures and texts, was filmed in a horrific video mocking her as “the dead girl” and cracking himself up by declaring: “She is so raped.” The video eventually went viral and outraged people around the world, causing intense scrutiny and attention to fall on the scandal and the city.

In days after the incident, the girl’s parents found out about the allegations, increasing the likelihood that authorities would be called. A panicked Mays boldly texted the girl’s father in attempt to explain himself.

“Sir, this is Trent Mays. This is all a big misunderstanding. She was at the party and we talked … and she was really drunk and I took her [to Mark Cole’s house]. I never tried to do anything forceful with your daughter but I’m sorry for the trouble this has brought you.”

“What is on video,” the father texted back.

There are even multiple text messages that are sure to enflame an already raging debate about the importance of Big Red football, the longstanding state powerhouse team from Steubenville High.

Critics have contended that Steubenville football players have gotten away with lawlessness under coaching legend Reno Saccoccia because the program serves as a rare point of pride in this economically depressed Ohio River town. It’s that entitlement some claim led to these allegations.

Rumors have whipped around the region that Saccoccia, known simply as “Reno,” tried to squash the investigation initially and other boys weren’t charged because it might harm the team. Saccoccia and the Steubenville police have denied it. The Ohio attorney general has dismissed all talk of cover-ups. Even so, speculation on the street continues.

When word of the incident leaked out, a friend asked Mays what Saccoccia said about it.

“Nothing really,” Mays texted. “Going to stay in for awhile. LOL. And next time [someone is] into something, suspended for three games.

“But I feel he took care of it for us,” Mays continued. “Like, he was joking about it, so I’m not worried.”

In another text, Mays wrote: “I got Reno. He took care of it and [expletive] ain’t going to happen, even if they did take it to court.”

Saccoccia could not be reached for comment Thursday by Yahoo! Sports. It’s not known whether he actually tried to influence the investigation or if Mays simply believed he did. Not that it worked if Saccoccia did. Police seized Mays’ – and the others’ – cell phones soon after that text. Within a week, the Steubenville cops made the arrests.

Defense attorneys tried to argue away the texts by citing errors in the times recorded by the Ohio investigators, noting so many of the comments lacked context and pointing out the natural tendency for outrageous, but not necessarily honest, talk among teens via text message.

None of the texts will carry the weight of three eyewitnesses the state expects to testify Friday, let alone the words of the girl herself, or even semen evidence recovered on a Pittsburgh Steelers blanket located in Cole’s house that forensics is expected to link to Mays.

However, the sheer volume of communication and the base behavior reflected in so much of the messages is likely to weigh heavily on Judge Thomas Lipps. The above is but a fraction of the material. On and on and on this went Thursday, Gibb delivering each new bit of testimony in a calm, clear tone, no matter how each one was seemingly more vomit-inducing than the last.

Besides, even by the current standards of teenagers, many of these comments were indefensible, the sharing of pictures was potentially criminal and the willingness of Mays to practically write his own confession was the action of a pure idiot. If convicted, Mays might rightfully earn the title of world’s dumbest criminal. It’s not just that he put so much into the electronic messages, but that he even understood detectives would assuredly search his phone and use them against him.

He texted on and on and on anyway. His phone had 61,613 messages on it.

“If the police come they are going to look at all my texts, duh,” he wrote to a friend when discussing what he was worried about.

“Delete them,” the friend texted back.

“Like phone records they can pull them up on a computer. LOL.”

“Oh, LOL. Hello cops,” the friend texted.

Hello indeed.

Later Thursday, long after the reading of the texts left the court shocked and aghast, a final witness of the night was called. It was nearly 8 p.m. and Steubenville’s downtown was dark and desolate, but the prosecution wanted to get Sean McGhee, an 18-year-old local who is currently a freshman at Campbellsville University in Kentucky, where he is on the wrestling team.

McGhee is Richmond’s cousin. He called Mays “one of my best friends.” When asked by special prosecutor Marianne Hemmeter how it felt to be a witness against people he’s so close to, McGhee said, simply: “It hurts.”

Yet McGhee, who was still in town last August before heading off to college, testified that he saw the girl at a party earlier in the night. He believed, based on her slurring words and stumbling walk, that she was extremely drunk. So later in the evening, when the initial texts and pictures and rumors began flying about what Mays and Richmond were allegedly doing with her, he became enraged.

This, he knew, was wrong. So he borrowed a friend’s phone (his was out of power) and texted the following to Mays:

“This is Sean, you are dead wrong. I’m going to choke the [expletive] out of you for that. You could go to jail for life for that. What the [expletive]. Sean McGhee.”

Hemmeter asked McGhee why he sent that and other accusatory, confrontational texts to Mays.

“I saw how drunk she was,” he said.

And with that, at last, there was at least a single teenager in Steubenville sending a single text that suggested someone finally had the slightest bit of perspective, morals or manhood to do or say a damn thing.

At last, after a long, long day of court, after two days of testimony, after all this evidence – all this “[expletive] the dead girl” and “piss on the dead girl” and LOL after LOL – finally, there was a single beacon of feel-good hope in this entire cesspool of a story.

Operation Mincemeat team

thespacegoat:

Operation Mincemeat: The greatest military deception since the Trojan horse was theorized by the creator of James Bond

Ian Fleming, a Naval intelligence officer, drew up a list of top secret schemes with which to outfox the Nazis. Number 28 was headed: “A suggestion (not a very nice one)” which read “a corpse dressed as an airman with dispatches in his pockets could be dropped on the coast” so that the fake documents in his possession might lead the Germans, ever so sneakily, right up the garden path.
“There is no difficulty in obtaining corpses,” Fleming observed, “but it would have to be a fresh one.” It was the sort of preposterous pipe dream that Fleming’s superiors could easily have dismissed as “something out of a James Bond novel”. Except for the fact that Fleming had yet to write one. So instead they filed his not very nice suggestion away and waited for a suitable opportunity. It came in 1943.
The Allies, now in the ascendant, were waiting to invade Italy. Sicily was the obvious place to start, but Hitler knew this as well as Churchill. A diversion was required and so Fleming’s morbid scheme was brought to life as Operation Mincemeat.
Once the team had identified a suitable corpse – that of a Welsh vagrant named Glyndwr Michael who had committed suicide – they gave him a new name (William Martin), a new job (in the Royal Marines), and a new identity. Authenticity was everything. One officer wore Martin’s uniform every day to give it a lived-in look. Each item in Martin’s wallet was painstakingly prepared, including a snapshot of his fake fiancée (in reality a secretary at MI5) and letters written by “Pam” to him. Stranger still, Martin’s underpants were commandeered from the late Oxford historian HAL Fisher.
Martin’s corpse was ditched in the sea off northern Spain with a briefcase chained to his wrist. It was found by fishermen and handed to the Spanish authorities before photographs of the “secret” documents in the briefcase were passed on, via the Nazis’ top spy in Spain, all the way up the German command chain to Hitler himself. The Fuhrer and his security staff were completely fooled. Goebbels, who as Minister for Propaganda knew a thing or two about telling porkies, did wonder in his private diary whether it was all “an elaborate and very British hoax” but didn’t dare contradict Hitler. And so Mincemeat carried on, the Germans pulled troops out of Sicily and fortified Greece, and the Allies invaded Sicily with relatively low casualties.

Twenty Dollars

A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked. “Who would like this $20 bill?”

Hands started going up. He said, “I am going to give this $20 to one of you - but first, let me do this.”

He proceeded to crumple the 20 dollar note up. He then asked. “Who still wants it?” Still the hands were up in the air.

“Well,” he replied, “what if I do this?” He dropped it on the

ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. “Now, who still wants it?”

Still the hands went into the air.

“My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No

matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.

Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless; but no matter what happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.

Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still

priceless to those who love you. The worth of our lives comes, not in what we do or who we know, but by …WHO WE ARE.

You are special - don’t ever forget it.”
