WTF?????

20 yo woman is at a club and convinced to dance in front of a Girls Gone Wild camera (she knew she was being filmed and was dancing specifically for the camera) but consistently refused to show her breasts (this can be heard in the audio).

Then while dancing someone reached around from behind her and pulled her top down.

She never signs a consent form for the pictures to be published and yet published they are.

Flash forward 4 years and she's married with a kid and her husband gets a call from a friend telling him that his wife's breasts are famous.

Open and shut defamation of character lawsuit right?

Apparently not...

Can someone find the idiots who were on this jury and hit them upside the head with a clue stick?


When I first saw the article linked I figured it was a case where she intentionally exposed herself in the club but did not realize she was being filmed, in which her case would be much weaker and I could at least see an argument for her losing.

With the facts the way they are forget her winning the lawsuit I can't see how the Girls Gone Wild Camera Crew are not facing sexual assault charges right now (at a minimum they are guilty of being an accessory after the fact).

Shit like this really destroys my faith in humanity.

You really are the worst troll ever. Look at Steve Potocin - he's like a friggin' pro. You're just some sad screaming eight year old.

Hey, as a troll, he was pretty believable for a while. I think he jumped the shark at "Liberty? AW HELL YEAH!" though.
