Was Obama's Mom A Porn Star Story Will Make The Mainstream Media

The Obama's mom as porn star story continues its journey into weirdness! Image source: Photos of Ann Dunham (left) and Marcy Moore (right) found online and put together by me as part of an outrageous socialist conspiracy that even I do not know about!
So I was scanning the stories from people I subscribe to on Youtube yesterday, and what should I come across than a story from The Young Turks about the Frank Gilbreth video claiming that Obama's mother, Stanley Dunham, was a porn star. A story that I had covered way back in June when my flying monkeys brought in a report about it.

Well you can be sure I bookmarked that sucker, in fact, I left a tab of it up, because clearly I had my next day's blog post all set up, updating the original story with something to the effect that the mainstream media might be picking up on it.

I check in on Youtube today and click the link for the story and I get one of those annoying gray boxes that say "Sorry! This video has been removed by the user!"

Whaaa?

Fortunately, a search for the video shows that it has been uploaded by another Youtube poster. You can see it here. Might want to click on the link fast, as one of the theories is that Youtube had The Young Turks take it down because of the pics of Marcy Moore nekkid with black bars across her naughty bits, so that video could be dropping out too.

This is not my theory concerning why the video was taken down. I think the Young Turks did some poor reporting and got embarrassed and took the story down on their own. (Plus, I didn't see the story on the Young Turks' website, and if they stand behind it, you'd think they would have published it there.)

Why do I think The Young Turks dropped the video about the story? Because nowhere in the video (or the Digital Journal blog post they cite as a basis for their story) does Cenk mention a key fact: that the Frank Marshall theory has been around for years in the conservative blogosphere, something that a quick Google search and some reading with comprehension easily made apparent back in June when I covered the story.

To be fair, it now it takes a LOT of searching to find evidence of its prior existence (or you can just add 2008 to the keywords Obama's mom porn star), because every last blog on the Interwebs is reporting on it. But here's a post from 2009 about Obama's mother posing for porn photos way back when, pointing out that they missed the story when it first broke in 2008.

This is not a new story, but all those blogs and websites reporting on it are treating it as if it were. And there has to be some good reason that all those mainstream conservative news sites that played up birtherism and young earth creationism as if they weren't bull-goose looneytude, chose NOT to pick up on this juicy tidbit that's been around so long. Such as that it stinks to high heaven.

The only new thing about the story, in fact, is that the Republican dirty tricksters have decided to use Gilbert's video as part of their election year bag of filthy tricks, and that some undetermined number of them are being sent to voters in Ohio and probably elsewhere. (I'm not sure I buy Gilbert's claim of a million videos with three million more to come, but then again, with all that post-Citizens United millionaire money floating around out there, why should the Republicans do things by half measures?)

And if the story is true, and Gilbert owns the rights to the video, he's probably a millionaire now if he made just one dollar of profit per copy, and his numbers are correct. Scumbaggery scores again. Sigh.

However, with the widespread coverage the story is getting on the Internet news sites, I don't see how the mainstream media can ignore it for much longer and I don't think they will. I may yet get to see some Fox News commentator having to take the story seriously. Hopefully a female one, that would be sexy and funny at the same time. "Yes, that is Obama's mom's butt, it's round and firm just like hers ... and mine!"

Here we have it! Visual proof that Mitt Romney's mother did bondage modelling, for we have incontrovertible evidence that the wall in this image is IDENTICAL to the wall in the parking garage in the Romney household! What's more, we ALSO have incontrovertible proof that the man in the black suit using the dildo on a stick is none other than Rand Paul's father, Ayn Rand!!!! Where do I go to get my million dollars, please? (That Hogtied.com watermark in the corner ... a dirty liberal trick! Ignore it!

Does Obama's Mother Have A Celebrity Clone?

My flying monkeys brought in this tidbit recently. It has been swirling around the conservative blogosphere for years now: apparently, Stanley Ann Dunham, the mother of President Obama, had a celebrity clone who was a bondage model back in the 60s, named Marcy Moore.

Devout readers of this blog, if there are any, will recall that I found a politically-oriented celebrity clone some time ago: former Saturday Night Live comedian Victoria Jackson turned conservative political activist has a celebrity clone named Holly Morgan, who's a porn star.

In that article, I took the opportunity to point out my immense moral superiority to imaginary political operatives who would stoop to claiming such a photo was for reals.

I think you can see where this is going: ladies and gentlemen, meet Joel Gilbert, the filmmaker behind "Dreams of My Real Father." Mr. Gilbert's video's concept is that Frank Marshall, a U.S. academic and "socialist" (I don't know if Mr. Marshall is a socialist or not, I put the word in quotes because the term in modern far right circles has been so overused that it now means little more than "not a far-right conservative") was the actual father of President Obama.

And what's more, Marshall was supposedly an amateur photographer who took lots of fetishy photos to launch a fetish magazine which bombed, and who then sold the photos for his failed magazine to other, more successful magazines, like Bizarre Life and Exotique. And, according to Gilbert, one of the models that was in those photos was: Ann Dunbar, Obama's mother.

See for yourself, check out the photos of Ms. Moore and Mrs. Dunbar at the top of the page. Are they the same woman? I don't think so. They both have large, slightly underslung jaws and similarly shaped mouths and noses. But Dunham's jaw is larger than Moore's, and the shape is different. Moore's jaw is rounder, while Dunham's is squared off. Dunham's cheeks' are flatter, as well, and the brow is shaped differently. The shape of the eyebrows, the shape of the eyes and the size of the lips are all ascribable (potentially) to skilled use of cosmetics. But basically, these are two different women, I think. Granted, the way anyone looks in a photo can vary a lot depending on angle and lighting and how they emphasize or de-emphasize features -- my search for celebrity clone images is often informed by that. You could look at most of my celebrity clone images carefully and find reason to suppose they are not the same woman. It's not a problem for me though, because I never make that claim. I only claim that they look alike. Smart of me! Image sources: various sites around the Web.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and I think it's fair to say that Gilbert is making an extraordinary claim here. And hard evidence is not in evidence here. Basically, he has about the same evidence I have when I make claims about celebrity clones in bondage/porn. All he has beyond the resemblance between Ann Dunham and Marcy Moore is a theory that the sofa, a hi-fi and a bit of flooring that is seen in some of the porn shoots is the same as was in the house Marshall lived in when he was friends with Obama's mother.

Now to make clear just how shallow Gilbert's theory is, I must reveal the deep, dark secret of my celebrity clone articles, and hope you will not lose whatever respect you have for me, if you had any in the first place. (Yes, I know, this is not a major risk). Are you sitting down? Good! Here it is: you can find celebrity clones of practically ANYONE if you look hard enough, because so many pornographic images have been taken that there's a huge amount of material out there.

I know, not much to it, but it's true: the fact that images of any given non-porn person can bear a strong resemblance to some person who has done porn is darned near meaningless. Which is why I have always had the good sense to treat it as what it is: a joke.

Now the thing is, this story about Dunham being Marcy Moore has been floating around in conservative circles for years. It has never gotten into the conservative mainstream, much to the credit of the conservative mainstream, probably because of the general lack of evidence for the claim. Only real trash like World Net Daily have covered it. Now that's a remarkable thing to say, because this is the same conservative mainstream that has presented Birther nonsense (i.e., Obama was not born in Hawaii) long after it was demonstrated to be idiocy. And which has given a platform to intelligent design advocates, despite, basically ALL the evidence on evolution being against them.

Conservative mainstream media people are not HUGELY dependent on evidence is what I am saying, in the sense that they routinely ignore all of it that does not fit their political agendas. I'm assuming that the real reason they ignored the story is that it would be see as a pointless and vicious attack on Obama's mother by everyone who was not a hard-core conservative. And you gotta give them credit for at least being able to understand that, given the evidence-free nature of many of mainstream conservatives' bloviating.

Gilbert is attempting to give new legitimacy to the story with his research into sofas and hi-fis in old bondage magazine photos. Now you would think that I would be very happy if his theory went to the exact same nowhere that the story went to when it first surfaced. Not true!

I want this story to make it in the conservative media, not because I support it in any way, but because I want to enjoy the spectacle of conservative talking heads poring over old bondage photos and talking in assured tones about the resemblance between Dunham and Moore and this hi-fi and that hi-fi, while I laugh my ass off at them. It would be REALLY nice if I could watch their last bits of self-respect dry up and crumble, leaving them entirely hollowed-out shells while they do it, but that rarely happens on camera.

I'm not worried about the story gaining any traction beyond conservative media, because the story is in fact pointless. Suppose Ann Dunham DID pose for fetish photos in her hot and racy youth? SO WHAT? She's not the President, her son is, and after four years of Obama, most people know what they have in him, one way or the other, and are happy with him or not.

(For the record, I am not at all happy with Obama, because I'm a progressive, and to me the next election is a choice between Obama, whom I see as basically a Reagan Republican, and Romney, who basically represents wealthy conservative political oligarchs and no one else. Obama is just way too far to the right to suit me. So by conservative logic, if Obama is a socialist (as they keep saying) I'm a fucking crazy anarcho-ultra-radical revolutionary screaming Marxist with a bomb in each hand and a rocket up his butt. Just sayin! I think of myself more as a European style social democrat, which in Europe tends to be considered moderate to slightly right of center.)

Beach Heat: Miami And A Dungeon

From time to time I've taken pleasure in spotting bondage actresses getting their groove on in mainstream films, mostly Skinamax films that can be seen on late night cable fare. I haven't done so in a while because it has become old news. A lot of Internet bondage porn actresses do mainstream televised porn, and why not?

It's a bit ironic, since Skinamax films remain totally oblivious to bondage themes, and when they do run a bondage theme, it's generally very brief, lame, or involves a dude rather than a damsel, with rare exceptions like the bound blowjob scene in Bikini Jones: Temple of Eros.

Showtimes' Beach Heat: Miami series is no exception to the rule, the bondage scenes are rare, brief and crummy. But what piqued my interest is that I recognized three of the four female regulars on the show as bondage models. That was new! Chastity Lynn, Pepper Kester and Savannah Stern have all showed up in the Dungeon bondage sites, Chasity and Savannah in the Fucking Dungeon, Pepper in Strict Restraint.

The actresses all use the same names for Beach Heat: Miami as they use for their bondage videos, hence they're not trying to conceal their identities, a Google search gives up the goods on all of them instantly. (The fourth actress, Kiara Mia, does vanilla hardcore modelling, also under the same name she uses in Beach Heat: Miami.)

Savannah Stern in one of the few sexual bondage scenes in Beach Heat: Miami (season 2, episode 13 if you're interested) in which she impulsively gags herself with a tie during sex. As indicated earlier, it's brief (just a few seconds) and crummy (the tie is never tied in back of her head, it just hangs there after it's placed. Image source: Miami: Beach Heat vidcap.
Many bondage models used to use different aliases for Skinamax softcore work, I guess there's no longer any opprobrium attached to being a bondage model, at least where softcore porn is concerned. Yay! Then again, it's kinda surprising that there ever was any opprobrium ... it's not like softcore porn has STANDARDS. But there it is ... change. Though I guess they do have kind of a standard of doing little, lousy or dudish bondage, and of doing sex scenes in positions that clearly do not promote genital to genital contact, but acting like it's really intense sex. So they've got THAT going for them!

Now THIS is more like it! Clearly, Stern is up for stronger bondage scenes when she gets the chance. Image source: kink.com shoot 4913 starring Derrick Pierce and Savannah Stern.
In addition to Savannah Stern's lame-ass gag scene, Pepper Kester has an even more lame-ass cuff scene in Season 2 episode 12 where she's arrested for murder. It's pretty much the sort of routine cuff scene you see on prime time TV. Sad, really.

"Go ahead, put me on a pedestal! I dare you!" Pepper Kester in decidedly NOT lame-ass bondage. Image source: promo photo.
I don't do much coverage of Skinamax films nowadays, the simple reason is, the dearth of bondage scenes on them. But hey, if their casts are becoming all bondage models, all the time, perhaps the actresses will INSIST on some good bondage sce ...

Sigh. Who am I kidding?

The Butt Spank Echo Effect

She had to admit it. While tied in this way, Christina could hear the footsteps of people outside the room, in fact, the vibrations were so loud that they traveled up through her breasts to her butt, and she could FEEL them with her hands resting on her butt. And if she spanked her butt, she could make her breasts vibrate in sympathy on the floor. What earthly use this ability was, she did not know -- but she liked it.
