‘Back Door’ Leads TV Hottie to Riches

As if Wall Street’s sleazy, quasi-criminal ways were not proof enough that Western civilization is crumbling, we now have the sordid story of Farrah Abraham to remind us of oh-so-many other ways in which America is rapidly going to hell in a hand basket.  Ms. Abraham, 21, a reality TV star as well as the mother of four-year-old Sophia, has sold the rights to a sex tape she made to pornmeister Steve Hirsch for just under $1 million. If, as H.L. Mencken famously said, no one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public, then Hirsch stands to make back 20 times his investment. How can he miss? For in this case, “taste” embraces the voyeur’s fondness for anal sodomy. Clearly, Hirsch believes the audience for such entertainment is both eager and large. “I think many fans will be shocked at how truly explicit it is, including stunning backdoor scenes,” he told a panting press after closing the deal.

As an aside, readers might be comforted to know that Ms. Abraham’s rectum would likely have suffered little damage during the shoot, since her sexual partner in the film, porn star James Deen, evidently has a small penis. This detail, seemingly at odds with Mr. Deen’s choice of careers, was revealed by Ms. Abraham herself, reportedly to get back at him for “leaking” the existence of the video before she was able to cut a deal.

Exhibitionism’s Trail-Blazers

Following a path to fame and riches blazed by heiress-cum-sodomist Paris Hilton and the miscgenating Kim Kardashian, Ms. Abraham took the high road in interviews by not citing either of those women as an inspiration.  Rather, she seems to be positioning herself somewhere between Joan of Arc and Hester Prynne, vowing to use the proceeds to complete her “Masters degree and [focus] on being a great mother for my daughter as well as many other culinary business endeavors in my future.” For Sophia’s sake, we wish her well.

One might think the Wall Street Journal, or perhaps the New York Times business section, would take note of such entrepreneurial verve. Alas, it was left to Huffington Post, the L.A. Times, New York Post and other bottom-dwellers of the tabloid world to promote the explicit details.  For those interested, the video will be released by Hirsch’s company on May 6 and nationally in stores on May 14.

    Fascinating topic-

    Does the fact that there is a market for Ms Abraham’s “product” really mean the demise of Western civilization?

    I would counter such a premise with the fact that the highest per-capita porn consumption occurs in Asia; With Japan screwing (err skewing) the metric most heavily, while the greatest per-capita new porn generation/production is coming out of south-eastern Europe/Eurasia..

    Heck, even those peace loving, Allah fearing Arabs are getting in on the fast buck that catering to the video voyeur offers…

    In short- civilization is indeed reaching a climax (pardon the pun) of loose morality similar to the one that marked the end of Rome (fascinating that Sodomic acts are always “en vogue” during such crescendos), but the whole planet is going down the tubes together this time…

    To me, the proliferation of homemade porn (and the corresponding quest for celebrity at any cost- talent or no) is merely the latest iteration of the tattoo… albeit one that is TRULY permanent.

    I echo the sentiments of those who rightfully point out what it is going to be like for her daughter 13 years from now when news gets around her peer group about her mother’s “famous” past.

    One dose of SERIOUS teen humilation is on order for that day .

    Kids are ruthless.

    Why is everyone so simple minded?? All anyone thinks the people in power are doing is tic tac toe and that’s all the people can visualize while the powers behind the scenes are playing chess and laughing about what dumb sheep you all are, all you have to do is read their own quotes! I know I know it is a conspiracy theory that rockfeller admitted to being part of a banking cabal aimed at destroying the USA….it’s in his autobiography and he was not misquoted, you can buy it and read the damn book. Kissinger says you are all dumb animals that deserve the slaughter. They admit everything but Gary says Racheal Madcow says its not so….the same man errr lady that got bail out funds paid directly to her….oh yeah that’s a theory too…even thou it’s in a released government document.

      I used to listen to Madcow before she got on CNN on her radio show…not as a fan but just to she what they were saying….almost the same as the conservatives just with a twist. I could only take 30 minutes of her….but it’s funny how Bush “might” have had something to do with 911 back then when he was in office. Now people that think that way are crazy according to her. I one thing I will never forget is her saying she has never cooked for herself and seriously does not knowhow to boil water….she was absolutely serious. Oh those superior Stanford educated minds they should lead us…..

  • mava May 1, 2013, 11:44 pm

    I don’t see a problem with this. It is none of my business, and I certainly still have a choice of not watching the video.

    As far as morality is concerned, it is all a big fat lie. Everybody does it, just doesn’t talk about it. I would take Ms. Abraham any time (no pun intended) over anyone that works for the government. She does not kill, or steal, or rob, or issue counterfeit notes. She doesn’t even force anyone into the health-care plan.

    There, I said it. In my eyes, she is WAY, way more moral than Barack Obama.

    &&&&&&

    It’s not so much Ms. Abraham’s behavior that is a marker for civilizational decline, but civilization’s response to it. Meanwhile, the media have not merely glorified the sexuality of teenage girls — i.e., girls younger than Farrah Abraham — they revel in it. RA

    • gary leibowitz May 2, 2013, 4:01 am

      Great analogy porn and Obama. Isn’t he a wetback anyway? Did you complain about Bush and his war on democracy? Guess what? He won.

      I love watching FOX news. Their position is anything opposite Obama’s position. They waited for Obama to announce no imminent war on Syria before they complained he backtracked on his pledge to go to war on chemical use. Had he announced military action they would be the first to condemn it. We have a multi-billion dollar media mogul determined to cater to fear, hatred, and the redneck way. I sure would start worrying about his lies more so than a celebrity. She is the queen of social gossip and as such doesn’t exactly influence people on real issues. Mr. Murdock on the other hand uses the freedoms allowed him to smear and slant opinion and encourages bigotry and fear to guide our principles. I wonder when he will go too far. The campaign to treat Obama as a monkey in his first term was a real eye opener. Imagine posting this in his NY daily newspaper where a strong majority were Obama supporters. How the media allows this type of behavior, especially the ones with news integrity is beyond me. This type of behavior is similar to the McCarthy stranglehold except today its more subtle and plays on long standing anger and fear. They do know how to divert blame and keep the public in the dark. KUDOS to FOX for directing the masses to their early graves. They must stand in line, get their number stamped on their arm and form a line to the right.

      Fox is the controlled opposition to think you have a choice (pepsi) to your beloved MSNBC (coke). If everyone could see through this and see that the democrats (and all media less Fox) are driving us off the cliff at 100 miles an hour and saying their is no cliff and you are a racist I you think one is there. While the republicans (and Fox) are driving us off the cliff at 60 miles per hour saying don’t worry don’t worry we will turn the car around before it’s too late (next election). Stop falling for the FAKE two choices both are controlled by the same people, seriously why are people so dumb and blind to not see through this?? Is so obvious especially in the last 7 years! All you have to do is listen to both sides to hear them both say you gotta vote for our side otherwise they are going to take your rights away…atthe same time whoever is in power takes our rights away and Gary jumps up and down and screams we won we won because his side is in power and taking his rights away and all he cares about is that the republicains are not taking our Riggs away….and both sides say well bush/Obama took more rights then Obama/bush…they are puppets for the same team with the SAME agenda just different bull coming out of their mouths and different stories, same agenda! Bush just passed the batton to the next runner in the relay race.

  • Craig May 1, 2013, 11:14 pm

    I think it is pretty telling that the people that will not take one look at WTC7…(sorry to bring it up, but it is the cornerstone of all the corruption and tyranny that we face today and going forward, and is the most provable once you look at it with YOUR OWN EYES for just a few minutes and dont depend on CNN, cornered or paid off and compromised “experts” or poorly written articles by a cousin of one of the perps in charge) these same truth deniers (reality and history deniers) KNOW EVERY detail of these reality stars. Proves the TV “programing” is working very well for the globalist and the sheepeople will be ready for slaughter as planned as Teddy Turners Georgia guidestones say and the Rockfellers brag about in their books and white papers. You all that follow this stuff and don’t look at anything for yourselves are the problem not this “reality star”, your inability to question anything and think for yourselves IS THE DEGENERATION of our society, she is merely a symptom. All the is needed for men and woman of great evil to flourish is for good men and woman to do nothing. USA land of the ostrich, let’s all bury our heads in the sand for each other as South Park so brilliantly illustrated.

    • mario cavolo May 2, 2013, 6:22 am

      I believe it is worse than that Craig, speaking from the perspective of sociology. It is purposeful brainwashing; though so many people are in denial of this reality, it is usually those folks benefiting from it!. Any given society is deeply influenced by the broad strokes of values and behavior driven by its organizations of influence. Those organizations of influence, sometimes just by happenstance, sometimes by specifically agreed upon collusion, shape everyone’s values and behavior. The list of them can be summed up as the govt, all forms of media, television programming, related books, workplace environment, and the community in general. The problem in America is that if you’re not quite well off financially, it is impossible to be isolated from the worst influences of American society. eg, In China you can easily be living in a relatively inexpensive apartment location, yet the neighborhood is still broadly safe and mainstream. In American, you would be surrounded by all kinds of creepy and dangerous people.

      Cheers, Mario

  • Jill May 1, 2013, 2:49 pm

    Oh, Mario, the underground economy in the U.S. may not be as big as the one in China, but it’s there and is growing in these difficult economic times. There have always been people who pick up laborers in trucks from some central place in a city or town, drive them over to a construction site or other place where they labor for the day, and pay them at the end of the day. Then perhaps the truck disappears, once the project is completed. The employer doesn’t even know their names, if they are legally in the U.S. etc. Most poor job seeking able bodied men know where such places are in their cities.

    • Dave May 1, 2013, 4:21 pm

      Day laborers especially Mexican, are so pervasive and organized, not really underground. Besides the ones who hang out at many Home Depots, they have established work/help centers, in NYC, where one goes to hire them and you have to agree to the price. I hired one for a week when I sold my house to fill up a 30 cu. yard dumpster. I knew his name and drove him home each night and picked him up each day. He could lift and carry furniture with one hand and took home stuff I didn’t want but his family could use. Many have good skills and are subcontracted for painting, concrete, masonry, carpentry, … Then there are the ones working in many restaurants, cooks, busboys, waiters, …

      While there is so much concern about illegal Mexican’s, they aren’t flooding our welfare system and draining resources as some home grown groups are. While illegal, many have tax IDs and pay.

  • Benjamin May 1, 2013, 2:07 pm

    Here lies Western Civilization. … a dead cultural wasteland, killed in the year 2013, by a million dollar lewd act commited by a “reality” TV star.

    Another scandalous sign of the times? I concur. But it’s not like the countless gigabytes of internet porn are the enshrined depictions found in the Khajuraho temples of India.

    I see the greatest threat to Western civilization as its all-to-ready willingness to consider itself a lost cause. I say again, though not to knock such concerns as many have, we must be careful for what we wish for. Non-existence is very unforgiving.

    But then again, maybe I’m reading too much into this.

    • mario cavolo May 1, 2013, 2:20 pm

      You make a great point Benjamin and I wonder about the difference between “non-existence” and “broke-existence” in this context. The amount of wealth that has been hoarded at the top 1% is off off off the chart. That’s an unsustainable reality with the related problem being that those trillions are sitting idle, NOT in the economy, leaving the entire mainstream society to fight amongst themselves for what’s left in the money and commerce supply. The situation is egregiously alarm-bell over the top…So what do the masses do in response?….Anything they have to to make a buck for their children/future as this lady has done.. Do any of us think that John Corzine et al. and all these other legal standing crooks have children who are ashamed of them for being the thieves that they are…? Not likely…

  • BKL May 1, 2013, 1:30 pm

    What’s a single girl supposed to do? She is showing some entrepreneurial moxie; getting a million dollars to do what other girls are only getting a thousand to do.

    Going back for her masters degree, now that’s a strange decision. She should be working on a sequel.

    It was not so long ago, that there would not have existed the opportunity for her and others, to so easily profit from this enterprise. Pornography is now so pervasive, that the idea of limiting access to this video, and the profitability thereof, is unimaginable.

  • Buster May 1, 2013, 1:07 pm

    …..Well, what should she do when an honest days work doesn’t pay?

    Since it should now be evidently clear that the bureaucrats, banksters, wheelers & dealers, or crooks by any other name, rule the world’s economy & political structure, it’s probably about time we all just dealt with it, & whoring oneself as so many choose to do is certainly an option.
    Facing the facts & consequences of the total arrogance that power & greed seems to distil in human beings, is it any wonder that such unfitting ‘leaders’ of humanity should elevate the worth of their own works while simultaneously devaluing that of anything resembling real productive work or, heaven forbid!, beneficial human activity. The devaluing of honest labour is their fervent goal & is reaching such an extreme in many places, that it is not uncommon to see hard working people who have built homes now living on the streets, those who fed others through their toil now unable to feed themselves, & the carers uncared for in their time of need. Let me spell something out. The powerful place more value on destruction than they do on what is of real benefit to humanity. It’s all in the numbers, the rules & regulations & the policy if we dare to look. In fact, the monetary system which is the root of the tree of the whole order of things, being a debt based one, has destruction built in by design. This fundamental mechanism, the very nature of it, means that someone’s always got to pay the piper & the interest that’s never brought into existence & that can only be covered through borrowing more debt or through default & subsequent SEIZURE OF ASSETS through bankruptcy, conquest or both. Couple this fact with the ‘commoditization’ & digital recording & tracking of all things & particularly means of life, such as food & shelter, animals, humans & now even the structure of life itself, & we have a recipe for disaster & untold misery, yet fabulous power & wealth for the few, who are then self justified in their own worth. This arrogant tendency is as dominant in the world today as ever, but is by no means reserved for just those at the top of this dung heap. Though the growth of corporate & government dominance of the economy is the evidence to this conspiracy, the spirit of it can also be seen all the way down through the many tiers of self interested groups, who clamber for privilege, bailout or pension that is beyond the dreams of those trodden under foot in the stampede, but who’s indignation at their personal abuse is often only matched by the desire to do the same to the next man underneath them.
    Though I have a certain sense of sympathy for the plight of ruler & ruled, both also fill me with a certain frustration & sometimes disgust, I must admit. Too often I’ve witnessed the oppressed happily becoming the oppressor, & in this light I watch with disappointment those who are being sold on the idea that the answer to their lack of real jobs in the starved real economy is to borrow against property & get someone else to pay for it all as a tenant, & thereby end up sucking more interest out of the hands of the people still further. It’s all just a pyramid scheme, with the added treachery of recessions, otherwise known as ‘margin calls’ that can take the lot.
    The real problem for the Powerz of there being real money on the streets of the actual real economy is that it allows people to keep their assets out of the clutches of the debt masters, leaving them to have to resort to less efficient methods of theft, which can be more obvious. Repossessions are more readily accepted by the masses, trained to think that everything is above board & there couldn’t possibly be a conspiracy involving all these great authoritative sounding leaders, who are all so obviously wiser & honourable due to all the hallmarks of power that the exude. You, know, the appearance of wealth & power all down to the lower tone of voice & body language taught in these realms, that are designed to appeal to the stupid ‘monkey brain’ of our basic instinct & that of little old ladies afraid of all the other ‘bad’ people, & persuade us all to give our power & allegiance over to these real crooks who are actually robbing us blind, hence the smiles!!
    But I digress. The point is, that the people are so hopelessly corrupted that they often can’t see the corruption for what it is, & any power that they might have readily follows the same corrupt flow of the Powerz who are now increasingly scrutinized by the bright lights of the information age, away from the mainstream media.
    I respect the efforts of a few who for whatever reason try to do something that is an affront to this whole sorry mess, even if the odds are heavily stacked against success. I observed the campaign by Max Kaiser to encourage people to buy silver to break JP Morgans’s short position that’s was the biggest short on any commodity in history. (Anyone who doesn’t ‘get’ the conspiracy against silver really doesn’t know their history!) However, the idea was sure to fail, & not because the masses need a kick up the rear end to wake up out of their Wizard of Oz induced slumber. No, it was bound to fail because the Powerz don’t issue themselves with a margin call, & as should now be abundantly clear to all, instead write themselves an open cheque, create more money out of less than thin air & simply short it some more.
    If you want to fight a fight, you first need to figure out how to do it right, & short of by violent means, (which by the way is surely coming anyway as more & more people realize all our lives are being sold down the river) the way to do it with silver is not just to buy it. That is simply handing digital money back that can be recreated in the blink of a cursor. The real way to fight with silver is to USE IT AS MONEY!!!!!
    This is what really gets up the Powerz noses, as one businessman found out to his cost when he started paying his staff in silver coins some years ago, but at least their response demonstrated the seriousness of the threat.
    Now since it is unlikely that any of our great bought & paid for ‘leaders’ are going to allow the payment of debts, taxes, fines, fees, interest charges & penalties that actually rebalance our worth in line with the thinking of the the rule makers, with silver coins instead, then the only thing left is for ‘The People!’ to at least use it as payment between themselves. In ancient times, a silver coin was supposedly equivalent to a days work, which though it may seem low by todays prices, I suspect is actually not bad pay when we take account how little we’re left with after all the stealth robbery that’s really going on from on high. However, this rate would technically keep us all out of the tax bands & at least keep things relatively honest in comparison to the $500 trillion that’s just been uncovered in price fixing that effects all of us!
    So my personal campaign starts here, my own leap of faith, & rather than hoaring myself with the rest of the crooks I’ll choose to offer ‘an honest days work for an honest ounce silver coin’ (no Banksters need apply!), & thereby start a real revolution in thought & a very real revaluation of silver.

    Hopefully I won’t be alone, & maybe there’s method in my fighting madness with such apparent madness. Who knows where it might lead? Maybe even Max will join the battle & the few can awaken the many.

      Feel better Buster? 🙂

      …I am surprised more Americans have yet to figure out how easy it is for them to do business amongst themselves trade/barter/cash/off the books…maybe they are and are great at keeping it quiet. As I’ve said before and it is the core theme of a book I’m publishing on China sometime later this year, the off the books cash world in China is in the trillions and I can name one core driver of how this behavior rose up; because the people knew quite clearly the government was not going to provide for them. They quietly, privately hoard cash and other assets in China, virtually everyone does it as normal behavior. I’m under the impression lower/middle class Americans need to get with the program soon, though I am just making an observation of reality, not certainly encouraging illegal, rebellious behavior as I would certainly not encourage a behavior in such ways that would be illegal or cause them to cheat on their taxes as this post might be seen by such government organizations and get the wrong idea about a respectful, law-abiding citizen such as myself.

      And you think CHINA is the place where a person isn’t censored or scared for what they really are saying…? ‘

    • VegasBob May 1, 2013, 9:28 pm

      Mario,

      I read a piece recently that concluded that massive expansion of the unregulated ‘cash’ economy is what has kept the US from sliding into depression. I wish I could remember where I saw it.

      The basic idea is that people who have migrated from traditional employment to unemployment, disability and/or early retirement checks to stay afloat economically are supplementing their “official” income with off-the-books unreported cash transactions (what people usually refer to as the “underground” economy).

      The US police state is mostly electronic. So it would be extremely difficult or impossible to hire enough IRS revenue agents at $140K a year (salary and benefits) to ferret out and collect small amounts of taxes from millions of “nickel and dime” tax evaders in the unregulated cash economy.

      This idea makes me wonder if it is the cash economy that is keeping the US economy afloat, and whether Bernanke’s money-printing is just an ineffective charade to create inflation disguised as economic growth, and therefore give the impression that the government is “doing something” about the dismal economy in the US.

    • mario cavolo May 2, 2013, 5:47 am

      Vegas Bob, this is a topic of top priority for me, as I had mentioned my focus on this part of China’s economy…I am definitely going to start google searching this topic in terms of its development in America. Of course, as you noted it is virtually impossible to track barter and cash exchange of services. I think many Americans don’t engage in such behavior because the govt has done such a great job of instilling fear and Catholic guilt in them, another part of the brainwashing they wish to impart, against a person’s common sense daily reality. Unfortunately, another aspect of this broad theme leads to the idea of a breakdown in the society, a breakdown of ethics. Well, in the case of America, a breakdown of ethics is truly a case of “follow the leader” and try to do what they do for your own benefit in some way, because apparently what they are egregriously doing in their financial raping of the system, is “not that bad”, evidenced by the fact that none of them are being diligently investigated by the supposed judicial authorities responsible for such matters and thus, not going to jail. “Ah!…then it must be ok!…if they can do it then so can I”….goodbye morals and ethics…

      Cheers, Mario

    “Miscegenation”? Really? That is a term I associate with the Old South (see the musical “Showboat”) and racism. Ms. Kardashian may be, in the opinions of many including myself, a slimy self-serving no-talent fake “celebrity,” but the one thing that is not a valid subject for criticism is her partner’s race.

    • Rick Ackerman May 1, 2013, 3:57 pm

      The ‘Mandingo’ aspect of Kardashian’s bid for celebrity was absolutely crucial to her plan, since, to get the world to pay attention, she had to one-up Paris Hilton.

    • Dave May 1, 2013, 4:32 pm

      Unlike Mandingo, Kanye will live and move on.
      Possibly, since her father was one of OJ’s lawyers and friend, Kim grew up with an appreciation for men of color.

      &&&&&&

      Before you comment further, presumably just to be contrary, you should view the Kardashian video. Your bland exculpation has ignored the way in which Kardashian displayed her “appreciation” for men of color. RA

    • Dave May 1, 2013, 6:03 pm

      Rick, you have to pay to view the full video of Kim and rapper Ray J but the preview suggests she’s enjoying herself. Ray J just released a new music video, I Hit It First, with a Kim lookalike, to remind us that he preceded Kanye.
      http://www.nypost.com/p/pagesix/ray_hit_it_first_video_stars_kim_f1tTKGeLMQNqHo0m7D8EfI

      Watching any video result from a due diligence Google/Bing search on James Deen shows Ms. Abraham is a liar which would have avoided further promulgating her claims.

      &&&&&&

      Enjoying herself? No doubt. If she puts on a few more pounds, though, she might find that Kanye has little use for a sweat hog. As for Deen, he at least seems honest, and I can believe his side of the story without much caring about it.
