America Gone Wild

As Ashley Dupre continues to wait for the dust to settle from her paid sexual liason with ex-NY Governor Eliot Spitzer via the Emperor's Club, there's only one question: How much will America pay her?

UPDATE: Video of Ashley's 2003 "Girls Gone Wild" encounter is now overflowing the pockets of the fresh out of prison, GGW founder Joe Francis. Ashley graces the porn site version of the video company on its homepage and subscription page...cost: $29.86 for one month.

Some guess that Ashley Dupre made $100,000 a month selling her body to high-paying clientele, including the now-resigned governor of New York, Eliot Spitzer. Reports include that her going rate was $1,000-per-hour.

However, that's chump change compared to what's being offered her now and probably in the near future as the result of her part in bringing down Spitzer and the pimping Emperor's Club.

Porn publishers at Penthouse magazine say they would "love to have her in the magazine" and would consider offering her a cover shot. Before Dupre's MySpace page was deleted Thursday, it had received 4,612,397 views and her song "What We Want" touted 711,334 plays, according to Reuters. Fox News reports that a million people have paid as much as $.98 apiece to download her song.

My question to America: Is the marketing and consumption of all-things Dupre "what we want?"

Leading media research analyst Neilsen//NetRatings, which tracks Internet traffic and trends reported a few years ago that more than 38 million people visited adult websites that year. America's obsession with sex is evidenced everywhere, including the proliferation of sexual performance enhancing drugs.

Will America be hooked on Dupre...and will she oblige?

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: Romancing the U.S.

This Week's Top Scrooge - September 28, 2007

In Iran, people are executed for consensual sex. Amnesty International also reports that women are frequently jailed, flogged, and stoned simply for speaking out about women's rights.

The human rights watchdog group also reports that Iran continues to have one of the highest rates of executions in the world, including the stonings and executions of child "offenders"...those under the age of 18 accused of alleged crimes.

Yet, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad came to America earlier this week, sounding like a women's rights activist and overall compassionate nice guy. His apparent new-found love and respect for women is matched only by his joy at reporting to the world that his country does not have any homosexuals.

Sadly, like the flaming alcoholic that proclaims he only has a few drinks every now and then, Ahmadinejad denies that his regime habitually abuses women. Oh, and one other thing, his denial of homosexuals in his country is a weak attempt at covering up the fact that he executes them at quite a clip. Reports are that as many as 400 people have been killed for false charges of rape and abuse, when indeed the sex was consensual...

NYPD: homegrown terrorists 'are not on the law enforcement radar'

I wonder if U.S. homegrown terrorists have a counter-intelligence team that coaches recruits how not to act like a terrorist? All they would have to do is look at studies like the recent NYPD report.

NYPD Warns of Homegrown Terrorist Threat

NEW YORK (AP) - They preferred bookstores or hookah bars to mosques. They stopped listening to pop music and instead surfed Web sites promoting radical Islam. They threw away their baseball caps and grew beards.

New York Police Department intelligence analysts have concluded those were some of the telltale signs of homegrown terrorists in the making—a mounting threat as grave as that from established terrorist groups like al-Qaida.

An NYPD report released Wednesday warns of a "radicalization" process in which young men—otherwise unremarkable legal immigrants from the Middle East—grow disillusioned with life in America and adopt a philosophy that puts them on the path to jihad.
