Let me be sure I have this story correct...
A man is accused of sending a picture of underwear on his body to a 21 year old woman.
This is being characterized as "lewd" in the media.
I have four words for this: Are They Fucking Kidding????
This is just about the most non-story story I have EVER lost time looking at...

Is it not because he seems to be erect underneath?

But...an erect penis that can't actually be seen is to be considered "lewd?"
And, a 21 year old being the "victim" of a picture of underwear over an apparently erect penis is somehow fodder for CNN "reporting?"

I can't watch the video, unfortunately.

So if I send a picture of my chest, fully clothed, with nipples erect under my blouse, would that offend CNN?

I think "erect" would be in the other direction, if you know what I mean.

Context? Who the hell is the woman and what's her relationship to Weiner?
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

very offensive.
americans? They even blur butt cracks and dick outlines etc on "reality" tv. A society scared of sex on one side, yet having a huge porn industry on the other? WTF?
Our struggle is not against actual corrupt individuals, but against those in power in general, against their authority, against the global order and the ideological mystification which sustains it.

Scared of sex? I don't think that's quite accurate.
Some of us are bashful about talking about sex or showing pictured of out nice bits, but we're not exactly scared of it.

"Scared of sex" makes no sense. This non-story story is getting some publicity because people have a fascination with scandal; the guy's a congressman. End of story.
Sandi just likes to poke at all things American as somehow inherently sick and corrupt, be it political or economic or in this case cultural. But damn if I can see some vast difference between Canadian culture and American. His point is just lame bitching.
