Hamilton Nolan · 07/15/08 08:20AMJust like giving out condoms makes kids have sex and giving out clean needles turns upright citizens into junkies, the government must protect us from public service ads more likely to destroy us than to save us. Concerned about all the horny bastards rubbing up against women on subways, New York City had an anti-groping ad campaign ready to be rolled out to the sicko public (that's you). But they had to scratch that. These ads would just set you perverts off even more!
Debian death threats? Come on, send us the emails
Paul Boutin · 07/03/08 06:40PM
"I was *shocked* to hear that one of our community has been the target of death threats as a thank you for her work," wrote Debian project leader Steve McIntyre, near the bottom of a long message about the results of a survey of Debian contributors. Now McIntyre tells The Register, "I have since discovered that several of our female developers and documenters were threatened. It was some kook in the U.S. who made quite a name from himself harassing women for supposedly destroying the free software movement." Valleywag would be happy to make the guy an even bigger name for himself. Got death threats? Send 'em in or just post in the comments.
Weather Channel Anchor Accused Of Being Leering Dirtbag
Hamilton Nolan · 05/06/08 04:24PMWeather Channel anchor Bob Stokes is being accused by a former on-air colleague, Hillary Andrews, of being a sexually harassing, stalkerish jerk. For an extended period of time. Andrews says that Stokes harassed her predecessor out of a job, and then began harassing Andrews even harder, constantly hitting on her and asking her inappropriate questions; i.e., "Will you lick my swizzle stick?" Andrews is now suing Stokes, and two highlights from her court documents are below, describing some of Stokes' conduct. Also, a bonus clip: a colleague forgetting Stokes' name, on-air. Maybe she blocked him out of her mind.
Rachel Marsden Innocent!
Pareene · 01/04/08 12:13PMRachel Marsden, former "Red Eye" on-air eye-candy who was once allegedly "escorted" from Fox studios, and who has been accused of being a bit stalky, wrote into Gawker this morning to let us know that she's officially been exonerated of all wrongdoing ever. Or at least she won't be charged with harassing her Candian counterterrorism officer ex. The emails from the gentleman that she made public and those nudes allegedly of him she sent to the papers have finally proven her innocence! Canada's National Post helpfully adds: "Ms. Marsden, a former Republican Babe of the Week who has appeared on Fox News and CNN, has a history of criminal harassment, having pleaded guilty to stalking a Vancouver radio host in 2004. Her swim coach at Simon Fraser University also accused her of stalking him in the 1990s, but the allegation was never proven." [National Post]
Scores In Sex Suit Scandal
Pareene · 12/13/07 11:50AMWorking at Scores: it's not all giving candy to school children, recovering lost dogs and exchanging glimpses of your breasts for charitable canned goods donations. Sometimes you are asked to exchange sex for money. The Daily News, always your best source for the strip club stories that matter to you, reports today on a lawsuit brought against the famed Manhattan institution by former cocktail waitress Francis Vargas, who charges that Scores managers are terribly sleazy and have some workplace boundary issues.
