My evil boss-profiting from misery with Rupert Murdoch
I've always enjoyed a strange friendship with my wingnut boss, but today I'm just disgusted beyond belief.

A local teacher is facing 28 counts of statutory rape for sleeping with a 13-year old student. Several years ago, this teacher posed in a bikini for a series of ads for a local motorcycle dealership. The ads appeared in our paper.

I get to the office today and the boss is frantic for me to locate those photos. As I was pulling them up in the search results, it dawned on me what was afoot. Sure enough, he emails one of them to the NY FUCKING POST! Then he crows in my face about how Murdoch's rag is paying him $1,000 for the photo.

"I had this thought three days ago," I told him. "I asked myself: am I low enough to do that? And the answer was 'NO.' "

I don't condone the teacher's actions. But I made it clear I consider my boss lower than a snake's belly for doing this. I also told him he was a pretty cheap date. He could have gotten much more. The photo editor for the Post confirmed this himself when he called back several minutes later, so excited over the photo he must have been about to piss himself.

My boss is a scumbag. He's probably on the phone with the National Enquirer this minute, eager to profit further from this woman's train-wreck of a life.
:puke:

2. Slime
All of them. The whole "What's In It For Me" attitude, that infects our entire society.

6. The pics were taken by an employee of my boss
So the company I work for owns the copyright. The photos were taken by a co-worker and close personal friend who knows nothing about this yet.

4. But those pictures of LaFave were already out there weeks ago...
I don't see why the Daily News would have to obtain them from your asshole boss.

9. Oh, you mean Pamela Turner...
who used to teach in my district here in GA (no kidding) I didn't know that she also did the bikini/motorcycle photos like Lafave (I'm starting to see a pattern :)) Haven't seen her version of them yet, though. Did see her spring break Miss Nitro Wrestling shots. However, my favorite photo of Turner is of her walking into the jail clutching a Mountain Dew while dressed like Britney Spears!!! What in the hell was she thinking?

10. The sad thing is, the kids just adored her
I had no idea she'd gone on to do this Miss Nitro thing. She's certainly not the hottest woman you'd see on any given day.

11. I bet they did!
Okay, I had to get that really cheap laugh out of the way :)

Apparently, the Miss Nitro thing was done 7-8 year ago in her "wilder days"

What really astounds me is the incredibly poor judgement she used.
Obviously, having sex with an eighth grader is the major transgression, but how did she ever think this was going to remain a secret? He's a thirteen year old boy. They are rarely known for their mastery of discretion.

8. Yes. On a Harley.
Edited on Fri Feb-11-05 06:36 PM by Hardhead
Several Harley's actually. :evilgrin: She's attractive, but she's not the be-all end-all of babehood. And I don't want to go there. Apparently, she was also in the WWF, so I'm sure there are other racy pics of her out there.

I spent a lot of time building those ads…some say too much time.

12. ***UPDATE***
A friend tells me that the photos in question were seen on Fox News today.

So I'm going to tell my boss on Monday that Rupert Murdoch screwed him out of his first national print rights. I'm going to point out to him that he, the most loyal Fox News and O'Reilly viewer there ever was, got royally screwed by one of the biggest assholes on the face of god's green earth.

And he should feel HONORED for getting shafted by the man who has almost single-handedly brainswashed him. Preznit give me turkee!



Oh, wait, I just realized–HE SOLD IT TO FOX!!! My boss just cleaned up. What a scumbag! Excuse me while I :puke:
