Florida Gov elect tied to playboy. Christian group upset.
Florida's Christian Family Coalition, a Miami-based social conservative group, raised concern Thursday that newly elected Governor Rick Scott has financial ties to adult entertainment giant Playboy.

According to a recent report by Orlando's WESH, Scott has somewhere around two million shares of Latino social networking site Que Pasa, nearly 15 percent of the company -- and worth approximately $6-8 million. Que Pasa has a partnership with Playboy Mexico.

Rest assured that someone did, and they didn't publish the information. Florida sucks that way.

6. ^^THIS!!!^^
The vampiric asshat raped the government for BILLIONS in fraud, not alleged either but PROVEN fraud, but a so-tame-its-actually-lame skin mag is reason for "concern"????

What the fuck happened to REALITY in this country???

I am starting to catch Mad Bagger Disease - a total and uncontrollable rage, generated by the stupidity of others and in need of any kind of release, even if that release is equidistant from reality as the Mad Bagger Disease germ itself!

and his magazine from this kind of filth.
