from the hip

A Norwegian agent of the National Security Authority was sentenced in Norway a few days ago for downloading and storing child pornography. He actually did this at work! Aftenposten writes:

The man, who did not have an Internet connection at home, used two years before his arrest in March 2006, sitting in a former NATO bunker in Kolsås and filling 99 CDs with child pornography, involving the abuse of minors as young as four to five years of age.

.. The NSM worker had the highest security clearance at the time, with access to top secret material when arrested.

The NSM’s own control system picked up the abnormal network traffic on their service server, and notified police.

The secret agent actually had compiled a collection of 600 films and 1750 images of hard-core child porn while on the job.

I guess secret agents aren’t all like James Bond after all?!? Sad, sad.

I am European, so I view the following images as both beautiful and as art. But the line between the two is sometimes hard to draw. Especially as some pornographic pictures may also at the same time be beautiful. I guess?

So what to you think? First, Gisele Bündchen:

Next, Jenny Kapitan:

Finally, Lauren Hutton:

So? Which is what? Or are they all – what?

Ashley Alexandra Dupre became instantly famous over night when the world learned that she was the call girl visited by New York ex-governor Eliot Spitzer. Also, according to some, she may have sold similar services to Hollywood-playboy Charlie Sheen,  dressed up as  cheer leader.

Deservedly or not, she stood to make millions of dollars on her newfound fame. Books, interviews and such will come, for sure. But some wanted to pay for porn pictures of her as well. Hustler seems to have been willing to pay 1 million USD for that. Producer of “Girls Gone Wild” Joe Francis was too.

According to Associated Press:

Joe Francis had reached out to Ashley Alexandra Dupre, now 22, with an offer of $1 million to appear in a non-nude spread for his company’s new magazine, plus a chance to join the “Girls Gone Wild” tour bus, his company announced Tuesday.

But Francis said someone had a revelation at the Tuesday morning staff meeting: Did anyone think to check the archives?

They did, he said — and there she was.

“It’ll save me a million bucks,” Francis told The Associated Press on Tuesday. “It’s kind of like finding a winning lottery ticket in the cushions of your couch.”

Francis said at that point, his offer was off the table: “We actually had been dealing with her rep,” he said. “Our (offer) was the real deal. We just never made the connection.”

He said his employees got to work on pulling the footage and planned to offer it on the Web site by Tuesday evening, with a free sampling on the front page and the rest available with a $29.95 monthly subscription.

And off the video will come nude pics and internet videoes. All in high demand.

So that was a  cool million lost for having shown off her body on tape at the wrong time! Bad deal, if you ask me.

A Norwegian newspaper, Dagbladet, shows a video of her, showing some skin. Not that I think you’re interested, but just in case.

Timing is king!
