News of the Week: My Thoughts on the Facebook IPO

I’m not following the Facebook IPO offering. I’m also not an expert, or even very knowledgeable about the present world of stock buying and selling.

But I know a dumb bet when I see one.

Much like Groupon’s IPO, I wouldn’t buy this stock if I did have all the money in the world. Why? Because there’s no commercial future in Facebook, as far as I’m concerned. Societal, well, that’s another dealio.

If monetizing depends on advertising (and I don’t think it does, but until THEY figure that out, this opinion holds) then Facebook’s fucked on race day.

Sex News: Foreign Policy’s Sex Issue, IsAnyoneUp FBI investigation, gangbang queen’s memoir

  • The Voice has learned that the FBI’s Los Angeles Internet Crime division has been actively investigating Hunter Moore and Is Anyone Up for months, according to four people who say they’ve been interviewed by the FBI about his now-shuttered site. The case’s focus, according to those familiar with the investigation, was Moore’s possible connection to a hacker who has repeatedly broken into the inboxes of countless victims, rifled through their attachments, and submitted the accompanying nudes to Is Anyone Up.

Rude girl kicked off train

I can’t understand most of what she’s saying, but this still cracks me up.

The British tabloids have already picked up the story, comparing the train girl to Little Britain character “Vicky Pollard”. For my money, train girl is funnier. “No, I’m pretty sure you got a knobber, yuh? … a knobber, yuh? … I said, you got a knobber, yuh? Well then you ain’t no girl, are ya?” You can’t write shit like that.

RIP Donna Summer

“Love to Love You Baby” was on the radio constantly when I was 12. I had no clue what all the groaning was about, but I was intrigued.

Donna Summer came to hate this song and refused to sing it in concert. That’s a shame but understandable. It must have sucked to have fans ask “can I have your autograph, and will you make those orgasm noises?” over and over, especially after she became a born-again Christian.

36 years later, it still blows my mind and gives me a tingly feeling.

RIP Donna Summer.

Gay Rights: Right Now

Last week, President Barack Obama finally came around and endorsed gay marriage. It’s now a platform on the national stage, which I never would have seen happening 10 years ago.

It was 14 years ago that Matthew Shepard was found beaten to death on a lonely stretch of fence in Laramie, Wyoming. I will never forget that story, or learning of it.

On a long-view perspective of who we’ve been as a people, and for how many centuries, I’m proud of how far we’ve come in such a short time. Here we are, gay marriage as a platform in the 2012 American elections. Wow.

Sex News: FBI sex crime, post-porn life, kids and the porn talk, sexy is boring, biking and sex

  • They’ve made sexy boring. Best article of the week! “The only difference between the girls – always ‘girls’ – of FHM and the women I meet in real life, is that real life is a lot more diverse (…) When it comes to what people find sexy, there’s a truth in porn considerably purer than the sterile, manufactured consent of glossy magazines.”
