Woman loses a lawsuit against Girls Gone Wild due to “implied consent”

JANE DOE HAS LOST HER LAWSUIT AGAINST “GIRLS GONE WILD”.

The 26-year-old woman sued the publishers of Girls Gone Wild, Mantra Films, for US$5 million.  In the lawsuit, she claimed that she had not given consent to show her breasts to the Girls Gone Wild cameraman — the original video even has her saying “no” repeatedly.  Then her top was pulled down by another patron at the bar, where the act was caught on film and later published in the GIRLS GONE WILD: SORORITY ORGY video.   She didn’t know that she was in the video until one of her husband’s friends called to point it out a few years later.

All of this took place in May 2004, while a  then 20-year-old “Jane Doe” was dancing on the bar at the (now defunct) Rum Jungle at Laclede’s Landing in St Louis, Missouri.  The lawsuit was suing for damage to her reputation to the now mother of 2, and was originally filed in 2008.  Can you believe it took two years for this thing to get to trial?

With all the hype surrounding using social websites like Facebook or Twitter, and traditional websites trying to become more timely by jumping onto the social bandwagon, it appears that this may be one of those times when people are going social for the wrong reasons.

According to the 2010 AMERICAN CUSTOMER SATISFACTION INDEX (done by ACSI with ForeSee Results), consumers ranked social networking website FACEBOOK as being worse than the IRS.   When ranked on a 100-point scale, Facebook was ranked at a 64. 

64.  Where Web Watch went to school, this would be a D… if we were lucky.  Some teachers would have given that score an F.

Study: men over 40 who use Viagra (or similar drugs) are twice as likely to also have an STD


Real Men Don't Need Viagra

Remember how WEB WATCH TOLD YOU ABOUT HOW OLDER WOMEN ARE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE SEX? 

Well, you know how all those Viagra and other male enhancement drug commercials all say that the product “does not protect the user from sexually transmitted diseases”?  It ends up that there’s a reason for this disclaimer to exist, aside from the standard insistance from the legal department.

The ANNALS OF INTERNAL MEDICINE is reporting that OLDER MEN WHO USE ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION DRUGS ARE TWICE AS LIKELY TO HAVE AN STD THAN THOSE WHO DON’T USE THOSE DRUGS.

Not surprisingly, “underwear” still not on this year’s list of things to buy used


How to Sell Used Books on eBay

It’s been ONE YEAR SINCE WEB WATCH LAST WROTE ABOUT BUYING NEW or USED ITEMS, and it seems that the list of THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER BUY NEW and THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER BUY USED have expanded from a list of 10 items each, to lists containing 20 (technically, 21) items each.

On the bright side, our original post identifying those 10 items on each list still holds true.    And yes, underwear is still on the “don’t buy used” list.

So think of this as an expanded update of THINGS THAT YOU SHOULDN’T BUY NEW and THINGS THAT YOU SHOULDN’T BUY USED.

The Manliest City in America is…. Charlotte?

Charlotte, North Carolina – the “Queen City of the South” – has been named the MANLIEST CITY IN THE COUNTRY by Combos snacks.

We know.  Web Watch was shocked too.

This was the same city where the Carolina Panthers’ Fight Song was deemed too cheesy to be played after a touchdown.  No wonder the team struggled for a few years, even posting a 1-15 record one season.  What good is an NFL team without a Fight Song?
