OK, I know I said I'd be away for a while, but this dreck awoke me from my blogmatic slumbers. Stupidity has a way of doing that. Remember when ADD was reported, and then suddenly everybody and his dog had it? It was fashionable to be sick. Wait, it still is. But you have to have the right sickness for the time. "Depressed? Omigod, that's like so passe."
Scandals seem to be no different. It's one of those things that just show our world to be getting dumber by the day: a Jimi Hendrix sex tape has supposedly been found. This, after the alleged Marilyn Monroe sex tape. Who's next, Mr. Rogers?
The Marilyn tape has come under heavy fire, and it seems to be Keya Morgan's words against the FBI and Marilyn experts. I expect the Jimi tape will encounter the same fate. Why? Because these things are somehow surfacing all at once, at a time when these sex videos are being made and posted on the Net, I'm just a wee bit skeptical.
We've got a fascination with catching celebrities with their pants down - literally, in some cases. Wouldn't it be cool, then, if we found similar footage of a media icon from the past? Marilyn would seem like prime fodder for this: after all, she did pose nude once, and her affair with JFK is well known. Why not a homemade porno? Well, maybe, but probably not, because it wasn't the fashion it is today.
Jimi could have made such a tape - it was the 60s, right? They were all doing wacky things back then. Why not a hotel-room sex film? Hmmm. I'm not saying it's impossible, only that it's rather unlikely.
And the timing of these "discoveries" is suspicious. So Mr. Morgan won't show the Marilyn tape, so nobody will ever know - though the holes in the claim make it implausible. And we'll have to wait to see if Jimi really did Dallas.
But frankly, it all just smells of trash for cash. We've gotten bored with sex videos of living celebrities, so let's go after the ones who are dead. They're perfect targets: famous people with a racy side who can't defend themselves. How long is this fad going to last? Hopefully not much longer than the Macarena.
