LOL! of the Day

"...Even the desk clerk at the Super8 motel is on the witness list...!"

Update: WOW, this is impressive! Well done Dexx, two thumbs up, and we're putting up a link on the right...

Still More Musings...Show Me!

7. [Part 6: Admissions]

HARLOW CUADRA: They will not be able to come up with that, unless quickly forge it. And ah, all the masters umm, all the masters I had a little box shipped to me...

Postal officials from Dallas, PA are on the prosecution witness list posted by PC (see 149, 150).

8. [Part 6: Admissions]

GRANT ROY: Our attorney said he thought umm, the FBI had, he was, he was involved in some kind of International porn ring and the FBI was protecting him to give up other information, for other people in...

HARLOW CUADRA: No, umm, as a matter of fact, I still remember what Everett told you in the video, Oh, I could do this all week, ha, ha, ha, I could remember watching.

You know, funny story, I earlier mistakenly thought Harlow was referring to seeing Grant in a video with "Everett," and indeed, if you merely read the transcript like you would a book, it would seem that way.

The thing is, a transcript is not a book; there are nuances and gestures going on that we are not witnessing...in this case, I think it's clear in hindsight Harlow was almost certainly directing his comment to Sean, not Grant, when he said "you."

"Silence of the Chinchillas" regrets the error. I'm feeling pretty damn silly about it right now, in fact! :-)

Blush! Anyways, continuing...

9. [Part 6: Admissions]

GRANT ROY: And he didn't put that on the scene, he should have put that on the fuckin....


HARLOW CUADRA: He should have...




JOSEPH KEREKES: He didn't put it in there?




HARLOW CUADRA: No.




GRANT ROY: No.

So, right here, we have an unknown outtake from "Schoolboy Crush", known only those those who were either at the filming, OR had seen the Cobra master tape...a master tape that as Grant notes, Kocis should out of prudence destroyed long ago (but obviously decided to keep in secret).

Which of course raises the question, if Harlow didn't murder Bryan and steal the master tapes like he claims...how did he know about this secret outtake?

Elm opines in the comments on his blog that the BBTs are no big whoop; Harlow knew it was a trap (?!), was just making all this stuff up (odd way to react to known trap, to walk right into it!), and got his facts from already well known sources:

Most of the stuff that was talked about on the beach tapes was already on the blogs.

That is what I have been saying all along. ... most of that stuff was out there before April 27th 2007.

Well, no, actually I don't think so. WHERE in the blogs or ANYWHERE else in the known universe would Harlow have known about an obscure outtake from Schoolboy Crush left on the cutting room floor (and in a master tape EVERYONE ASSUMED HAD BEEN DESTROYED)?

WHERE on the blogs did Harlow read about Bryan and Lee having a phone conversation that night? That Lee's attorney was a woman? That Bryan owned a Blackberry? That Bryan was buying a condo as a love nest for Brent? Where, where WHERE??? SHOW ME these so called blogs (or any other innocuous source for info) Harlow read these private details from???

And for that matter...how did Harlow know about this monogrammed Rolex owned by Kocis?:

HARLOW CUADRA: Umm, and ah, I said well, I saw all I needed to see, I was gonna keep one of them and give it to you as a gift. I was like, nah, it's too hot right now, let me just get rid of it, and ah, he also gave me a couple of items that are disintegrated now also. Ah, he had a Rolex, ah BCK and, and well it's gone.

Or that Bryan used Adobe editing software?:

HARLOW CUADRA: The ah, oh yea, all his computers, all his editing shit, I think he used Avid.


GRANT ROY: Adobe?




HARLOW CUADRA: Adobe, yea. That's gone too, it was fun looking at all that, I think that's all...

Or what Bryan's front door looked like?:

HARLOW CUADRA: Well, ya know how they say that ah, whoever made it in, had to know Bryan or some shit like that, that's bullshit, because we did some recon work, and the door doesn't have a peephole on it... It has two square blocks of ah, windows way on the top and Bryan's not tall enough to see through that. It was quick, he never, he never saw it coming.

From this point forward, I am going to start a running "Show Me" list. This is a list of details Harlow (and Joe) mentions on the BBTs that I CHALLENGE any Harlowite (not just Elm) to SHOW ME exists in the public realm, anywhere, such that Harlow (or Joe) could have come across the information innocently. Here is the list up to this point in the Musings; others will be added as we come to them:

jim's SHOW ME list
------------------
1. Phone conversation with Lee Bergeron (and others) after 7:50pm;
2. Lee's female attorney;
3. Bryan owned a Blackberry;
4. Bryan planning to buy a San Diego condo (for his "little bitch," LOL!);
5. Obscure outtakes from "Schoolboy Crush;"
6. Bryan's missing "BCK" monogrammed Rolex watch;
7. Bryan's Adobe editing software;
8. Design and layout of Kocis' front door
9. [to be added, etc...]

Here's the list for now...will any Harlowite now step up to the plate, and SHOW ME how Harlow innocently knew of these things? WHERE he read about them? Elm? Jakester? Sassy? Will ANY of you take up the challenge?

Or will you all...by your silence...now admit to Harlow's guilt?

More Musings...About the Lee Story

6. [Part 5: The Lee Story]

This is a lot to quote, and it runs through [Part 6: Admission], [Part 8: The Visit], [Part 14: Lee Revisted], [Part 17: Phone Calls], [Part 18: The Visit (Redux)] and perhaps some other parts that I am forgetting at the moment...in other words, QUITE a lot of time on that beach was spent talking about Lee Bergeron, in fact...so I'll just paraphrase the whole spread-out "Lee Story" here, in two paragraphs of my own creation:

Harlow, while in the living room with Kocis prior to the murder, kept getting interrupted by phone calls from Lee Bergeron (and Lee's female attorney, and Bryan's attorney Sean Macias). Harlow is thus allowed to sip wine and evesdrop as Bryan juggles the calls on his Blackberry...and overhears that Lee and Bryan, while technically adversaries in the Cobra lawsuit, have been in reality conspiring in a "backdoor deal" against Sean and Grant this entire time.

Their plan being, after a settlement to the lawsuit is manipulated, to oust Grant from the company, alienate Sean affections towards him, "send him packing back to Texas," and then put Sean up in a "condo" easing him back into a life of concubinage to Bryan (and Lee as well perhaps).

Yep. Quite a tale there. Which is why, up until today, I have been rather skeptical of it. On one hand, given what we know of Lee Bergeron and his past shady business dealings, and the fact Bryan very suspiciously opted not include him personally in the Cobra lawsuit (Lee was the only really deep-pocket member of LSG...very unlawyerly behavior indeed!), and the fact that, in the end, Lee did indeed screw Sean and Grant over, first chance he got...leads me to think this astonishing story MAY actually be true.

On the other hand, the affidavit made no mention of any calls to Kocis, from Lee or anyone else, after 7:50pm. But even more problematic in believing the Lee Story is that person telling it is Harlow Cuadra. That's a HUGE problem. Because, we all know what it means when Harlow moves his lips...

So, until this morning, I was completely on the fence as to the Lee Story. I mean, it's great story if true, and if it had been told by anyone except Harlow and Joe I'd probably be inclined to believe it. What I needed was a sign, one way or the other...another bit of factual data, that might either confirm or deny the Lee Story.

And then, this morning...it hit me! I was re-reading for these musings, and got to Part 5 here...lets roll the tape!

HARLOW CUADRA: I'm gonna, this is the little voice coming out of his Blackberry that day, I'm gonna send him back to fuckin Texas. Ah, laughing and carrying on like it was all so perfect. Ah, Sean, he was gonna put him up in a Condo that he was thinking about buying in San Diego and ah, get him away from you and ah...

GRANT ROY: On the phone?





HARLOW CUADRA: Yea, and...




SEAN LOCKHART: Grant, remember when he offered me that apartment?



HARLOW CUADRA: Yea, there ya go, how the fuck did I know that? Except it was gonna be a Condo, he was telling Lee over the phone that ah, he wanted to buy property out here to make it easier for him to come out.

Ah, stop the tape! Notice RIGHT THERE Sean verifies the bit about about the condo! He was told it was gonna be an apartment, but Harlow sticks to his guns, says they were actually talking about a condo...but in essence, their stories match up perfectly on this key detail.

"Yea, there ya go, how the fuck did I know that?" Indeed, Harlow, indeed. And there you have it, folks...incredible though it may be, the Lee Story is true.

This has some fairly significant implications. For the murder case, it is one of many details Harlow knows about on the beach that day (in addition to the Rolex, the TV, the Masarati, etc...) that unquestionably place Harlow Cuadra at the murder scene. Not at a smoke-filled house with a dead Bryan, but in a very much not-on-fire house, listening to a very live Bryan Kocis chattering away on his Blackberry.

For the whole Brent Corrigan saga in general, the Lee Story completely rewrites what historians will say about the Cobra settlement.

And as far as any future efforts to enforce that settlement go...forget about it. No court in the land will ever enforce a settlement that was brought about via the espionage of a Benedict Arnold in one of the camps. The LSG-Cobra settlement is DOA; Brent, Grant and their new company are for all intents and purposes free of it. And their now unclouded future is looking much rosier on account of that fact.

Miscellaneous Musings on the Blacks Beach Tapes

...by me will be gathered and posted right here, as soon as all are posted on PC's blog, and I've had a day or so to fully reflect on them.

And here we go! I think what I'm going to do is just re-read through the whole transcript, and "live-blog" my re-reading, making note of an commenting on those parts that in particular catch my eye.

1. [Part 1: Getting Ready]

GRANT ROY: Don't let him say, Sean ya know we did this is... say no, you were just going to take care of the escorting connection that's why Grant was so fucking mad about this whole fucking thing, he didn't need to die, ya know and that's...

SEAN LOCKHART: I'm, I'm gonna be quiet.

GRANT ROY: No, well, I'm just saying...

SEAN LOCKHART: If they lie, I'm gonna call them out, right?

GRANT ROY: Yea. Ya know, just, that's fine.

This exchange took place before they picked Harlow and Joe up in the car, and you can see the game plan: to NOT let Harlow and Joe get away with implying Sean and Grant knew of the murder beforehand. If they did so in any way, Sean was to immediately "call them out" on the "lie."

As things turned out, this calling out plan was unnecessary...Harlow and Joe never even came close to making any such implication.

Also interesting is what fact Sean was to use to call them out on the potential lie: "...you were just going to take care of the escorting connection..."

As we find out later in the tapes, Bryan had an issue with his porn boys engaging in freelance escort work. Ah...NOW we begin to see one of the major problems with Boybatter partnering with LSG/Cobra under the settlement agreement. It was obviously made clear to Harlow and Joe (at the dinner? or the subsequent bitchy phone call?) that Bryan would never allow freelance escorts into his sphere of operations, and as they could have never parted with their Boisrus operation...they seem to have come to the conclusion (on their own) they had to remove Bryan from the equation in order to succeed in their goals.

2. [Part 1: Getting Ready]

JOSEPH KEREKES: Wow, oh my God, I'm actually scared. I never seen anything like this Grant.

HARLOW CUADRA: (inaudible) oh yea, yea. This must be about twenty stories in the air if you were in a building.

GRANT ROY: Oh at least.

JOSEPH KEREKES: Thirty.



3. [Part 2: The Descent]

A slightly abridged, illustrated version. The danger Sean and Grant were in during this cliff climb with Harlow and Joe is readily apparant (all photos from http://www.blacksbeach.org/)

JOSEPH KEREKES: I'm surprised they haven't set up a walk way or something.

...

JOSEPH KEREKES: I'm glad I didn't have another shot.

...

GRANT ROY: Well I don't think that's a good way... I'm gonna go this way.

JOSEPH KEREKES: You alright Harlow?

HARLOW CUADRA: Yea.

...


JOSEPH KEREKES: This looks like it turns into a waterfall.

...

GRANT ROY: Just watch the little step places that's where (inaudible).

HARLOW CUADRA: I will never forget this.

...

GRANT ROY: (inaudible). Careful, that's not a good way.

JOSEPH KEREKES: Baby, remember, if you build up any speed, you're not gonna be able to stop, and you don't wanna get dirty or scratched, alright?

GRANT ROY: Just kinda follow me.

...

GRANT ROY: Right there, that would be good...

...

JOSEPH KEREKES: Why did you wear your sandals Harlow?

GRANT ROY: Yea, well I was hoping he told you not to, did he tell you to wear tennis shoes?

HARLOW CUADRA: Brent said, it'd be a good idea if you wore shoes, I was like ah, should I wear sandals, I didn't know that was a warning, Brent.

SEAN LOCKHART: We're half way down there.

GRANT ROY: The hardest part is... watch, get the little places where it's a little solid is where you wanna plant sort of... alright, let's go down right... now come over here.

...

GRANT ROY: Oh, you go that way, I'll go this way. It's a little more gradual.

JOSEPH KEREKES: And a little steep too.

GRANT ROY: Yea, just kinda, just kinda... there ya go, you got it, that's it...

JOSEPH KEREKES: Oh God, look we're already at the water.







4. [Part 3: Picture Time]

HARLOW CUADRA: Joe's got my name on his ass.

GRANT ROY: Oh really?

JOSEPH KEREKES: Cuadra

GRANT ROY: Really?

JOSEPH KEREKES: Yea, these are the only ones I kept.

GRANT ROY: Oh really?

You know, if Harlow does indeed "roll" on Joe...imagine him waking up every morning in prison, and seeing that tattoo... :-)

5. [Part 4: Web Woes]

JOSEPH KEREKES: We found this ah, Romanian webmaster and I swear it's like slave labor, I feel bad sometimes...

HARLOW CUADRA: I feel bad...

The early Romanian connection to the Harlow defense efforts is thus explained; see this old pro-Harlow fan blog (linked to on Elm's site):

For harlow from Romania with love

DeWayne adds the following bit of intel on "Vlad the Webmaster:"

"The Romanian Webmaster was cheap because everything Boybatter had on site has now been sold by that poor slave driven WebWonder!

Yep EVERYTHING Boybatter had on the site was uh copied and "distributed" within a month of Joe and Harlows arrest!

Guess Joe won't be traveling to Romania, I'm sure thats what Vlad the Webmaster laughed!"

Anyways, it appears Vlad is indeed dunzo over there, as Boybatter now has this message prominently displayed on their web site (hat tip to PC for this):



Makes me ponder what they mean, exactly, by "severed all ties with the original owners." Does that mean proceeds from memberships are no longer being donated to the defense efforts? And who is this "new management team" anyways? Their 2257 link is still dead. You know, I wonder if this "new management" is a sham to hide assets from Harlow's creditors? Given the stunts and scams the Harlowites have attempted in the past, I would not put this past them.

2008 GayVN Awards: Total Defeat For Jason Ridge

Harlow Cuadra supporter Jason Ridge continued his unbroken string of award season defeats, getting completely shut out at this year's GayVN Awards.

Ridge and his company Ridgeline Films had been nominated for 7 GayVN awards spread over 5 catagories, but in a continuing industry repudiation of his tee-shirt and video campaign to "Free Harlow Cuadra" he failed across the board last night, going 0-7 (or 0-5, if you prefer to count the defeats by catagories).

Having the general reputation as being on the crazy train heading straight for Britneyville did not help matters either, I'm sure.

These losses tack on to earlier award ceremony shut-outs at the XBiz Awards and the Cybersocket Awards; the latter a particularly humiliating defeat at the hands of none other than Brent Corrigan (more on that here).

One other bit of amusing GayVN Award news: Nikolay Petrov, the porn star accused of braining an elderly New York couple with a hammer WON...taking the prize for best "Best Threesome" along with Jesse Santana and Jason White, for their troika performance in Jet Set's "Just Add Water."

I guess the message the GayVN Awards want to send here is: It's OK for an awardee to be an accused murder...but it's not OK to pimp for one. LOL!

Update: As first reported on Mark Adams site today, Best Threesome co-winner Jesse Santana penned some interesting musings regarding the line between being a porn star and an escort.

Interview With Angel Skye and a MUST READ Letter

"...LTB: Speaking of bullshit what can you say about some recent allegations from someone who we have all deemed as obsessed with you and Brad Star.

A: Honestly I do not have problems with anyone I have moved on so long ago. I saw that my privacy was being invaded and I had to take action..."

Important Update: An open letter to the industry that is a MUST READ!

The 385

If today's big Kocisphere story was made into a movie...this is what the poster would look like:



Update: LOL, of course, right after I declare this the big story of the day, an even bigger story comes along...

Update 2: ...which gets even bigger!

Update 3: And now this bombshell.

Saving Private Hensley

Justin Hensley (probably “Police Informant #2) was recently deployed to Iraq, which led the prosecution to motion that his prelim testimony be allowed in the main trial, if his deployment results in him being unavailable at trial.

But will he really be “unavailable?” Is there any way for DA Melnick to reach into the war zone, and extract Private Hensley for the greater good of the Republic?

I did a bit more digging into Army regulations on the subject, and from what I have been able to determine, he MAY be able to come back for the trial, if need be.

There are four main types of military leave in the U.S. Army:

1. Ordinary leave: regular chargeable leave time; the military equivalent of vacation time.
2. Emergency leave: chargeable leave based on certain enumerated emergency circumstances that may arise; none of which seem to include being a trial witness, so is likely inapplicable here;
3. Convalescent leave: Requires a doctor’s OK and is also likely inapplicable; and
4. Permissive Temporary Duty (PTDY): Defined as “nonchargeable absence from duty may be granted at no expense to the Government to perform a semi-official activity that benefits the Service and the soldier.”

Now, Justin could always come back to PA using his ordinary leave, IF he has any stored up, and IF he gets the necessary clearances. Using ordinary leave is not the best option from Justin’s point of view, however; a soldier accrues only a finite amount of ordinary leave time. Luzerne County is not exactly a known as a garden spot, and sitting around a courthouse waiting to testify is not my idea of an ideal vacation.

The other option is PTDY. This one seems to be the ticket, as one of the specific reasons for authorization is being a witness at a major criminal trial:

5–32. Permissive temporary duty authorization
PTDY may be authorized as follows:…

b. To perform State jury service or be a witness at State criminal investigation proceedings or criminal prosecution is subject to the following conditions:
(1) Soldier must have received a subpoena, summons, or request instead of process.
(2) Case must involve substantial public interest; for example, a major crime has been committed, and the soldier is a major witness.
(3) Decision to grant PTDY must be coordinated with command staff judge advocate (SJA) or legal office.

Seems to me the Kocis trial would indeed be a criminal prosecution of “substantial public interest;” a “major crime has been committed” and Justin “is a major witness.”

The advantage of PTDY over ordinary leave is that it will not be charged against Justin’s accumulated ordinary leave. One disadvantage, however, is that the army regs are very clear on one aspect of PTDY: The Army will NOT pay any travel expenses involved. Although perhaps it is fair to assume Luzerne County would pick up the tab for the air fare in the instance, saving Justin the expense to and fro.

Keep in mind, however, while the military bureaucratic mechanisms for granting leave in this case do indeed exist, it is still no sure thing. The paperwork process will have to be initiated by Justin; then approved by his commander (with input by the "command staff judge advocate (SJA) or legal office"), who has discretion to reject the application. It is for this reason that Melnick made the motion to use his prelim testimony at trial no doubt, to cover this uncertainty.

Another possibility, of course, is that what with all the trial delays, Justin Hensley’s deployment period in Iraq might come to a natural end before trial, bringing him back in time with no fuss at all. It is not entirely clear to me how long Justin is over there for…guesstimates over on PC’s blog ranged from six to fifteen months…but if it towards the 6 month estimate then yes, I could easily see this all becoming a non-issue due to trial delays.

Another even more likely possibility, of course, is that there will be no trials, that Harlow and Joe will both plead guilty in a plea bargain…making this whole problem irrelevant. I am becoming more certain this is EXACTLY how it will go down, based on the fact that Harlow and his supporters keep saying there will be a trial, and that there is no possibility of a “deal.”

The more their lips move, forming the words “there will be NO deal” the more certain I am that is exactly what they are negotiating right now.

Update: It is also possible the trial may start while Justin is still in Iraq, and then drag on for at least fifteen months while hearing from all 385 prosecution witnesses called to rebut Joe's alibi defense, thereby allowing Justin to come home, just in time to testify next.

Today's Lucy-With-Football Moment

LOL! By the way, still awaiting that "lawyer letter."

Brent Corrigan Triumphant!

Brent Corrigan won his first Cybersocket Web Award last night, in the catagory of Best Porn Star Site...putting him in the same league with other industry heavyweights such as Sean Cody, Bel Ami, Dirk Yates, and Michael Lucas. The full list of Surfer Choice winners here:



This award is actually a much bigger deal than being "presented with a one of a kind Cybersocket trophy." The magazine's circulation of 70,000 copies per month makes it the largest freely distributed gay publication in the country, which translates to a massive free PR boost to the winners of the annual awards.

And notice too, the winners are determined by online public voting, based on unique IP addresses I presume. Obviously, the efforts by some to tarnish the reputation of Brent Corrigan in order to place two murderers like Harlow and Joe back on the streets have come to naught.

Perhaps "The Jakester" or one of the other members of the Free Harlow set would be so kind as to relay the good news to Harlow and Joe, during their next prison phone call? I'm sure it'll be a real morale booster for them!



Update: XBiz picks up the story, and not only do they correctly hyperlink to Brent Corrigan Inc (avoiding this from happening again) but they go on to write:

"Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton won Best Celebrity Site (he was not in attendance), director Lucas won Best Personality and controversial performer Brent Corrigan received the award for Best Porn Star Site."

LOL...Brent is perhaps the only person in the world who can appear in the same sentence with Michael Lucas, and usurp the label "controversial" from him. No wonder Lucas hates him!

Update 2: GayVN News covers the story, and perhaps mindful of being the primary victim of Brent's earlier tongue lashing referred to above, hyperlinks everyone with gusto!

Update 3: Jason Ridge, who we've blogged about here before, not only got his butt stomped in direct competition with Brent last night, but tonight he lost again, this time getting completely shut out at the XBiz Awards.

As Nelson Muntz would say, "Ha Ha!"

I guess having a reputation as a Harlow-supporting mental case is not exactly so useful to your career as you once thought, eh Jason?

Update 4: Brent weighs in.

Another Very Bad Porn Star

Actually, news of this particular crime broke early in January:

TAMPA - Someone really wanted to kill Grigori and Galina Komissarchuk.

The couple, in their 60s, have homes in Sarasota and Brooklyn, N.Y., and were attacked at least four times at their homes and other places, according to federal court records. One time the attacker used a hammer. Both of them suffered skull fractures and other injuries.

Federal authorities have arrested and charged a man they identify as Edmon Vardanyan, 23, with traveling in interstate commerce with the intent to kill, injure or harass, according to a federal complaint...

But it was not until yesterday that J.C. Adams broke the story that Edmon Vardanyan is also gay porn star and Jet Set exclusive Nickolay Petrov.

Even more interesting is the fact that Mr. Petrov is up for some awards at this year's GAYVN ceremony.

Looks like someone else at Jet Set will have to accept the awards on his behalf if he wins. Should make for an awkward speech, to say the least, heh!

Update: As of this moment, the domain www.freenickolaypetrov.com is unclaimed. No word of a legal defense fund either.

Update 2: A curious additional comment by Jason Curious:

Oh and by the way... you can expect another Jet Set exclusive to be arrested in the coming days.

But not for anything as awful as attempted murder! This one's a bad boy. But he's no murderer! Stay tuned.

Update 3: From the "You Coulda Seen This One Comin' A Mile Away" department: The efforts to tie in Nikolay Petrov with the Kocis killing is already underway, among some of the more fancifully imaginitive Harlow defenders out there.

Update 4: Vardanyan/Petrov indicted in Federal court.

Joran van der Harlow

An interesting breaking news story this morning, about another even more high profile murder case...that of Natalie Holloway, and her "disappearance" in Aruba.

Interesting in that the huge break in solving the case revolves around a secret recording; no, not one made by police, but by a crack investigative reporting team.

Also interesting is the post-taping reaction of the caught-on-camera criminal, Joran van der Sloot: That what he said on tape was all a lie.

"That is what he wanted to hear, so I told him what he wanted to hear," Van der Sloot said, adding that he never fully trusted the man to whom he'd confessed.

"It is so stupid, it is so stupid, it is really stupid," Van der Sloot said, his voice cracking, the AP reported.

Gee, I wonder there are any, um...parallels...we can draw from any similar case over in this country? You know, criminal does crime, criminal gets caught confessing on tape, and then criminal says "Oh that beach tape, it was all a lie! Never fully trusted Grant and Sean, nosirree Bob! All a lie..."

Two criminal, two crimes, two recorded confessions...and despite both a cultural and oceanic rift between the two criminals, their reactions are exactly the same: "Oh that tape, I was just kidding!"

Meanwhile, Back in Virginia Beach...

Virginia Beach police seize photos from Abercrombie store

By Steve Stone
The Virginian-Pilot
© February 3, 2008
VIRGINIA BEACH

Police, saying they were responding to citizen complaints, carted away two large promotional photographs from the Abercrombie & Fitch store in Lynnhaven Mall on Saturday and cited the manager on obscenity charges....

YCMTSU.

This by the way is the same liberal-minded jurisdiction Joe Kerekes personally assured me via open comment on April 14 had green-lighted their escort business:

"...and the Srgt shook my hand and says OUR department officially will leave you guys alone as it is clear You do your job right! This made press and only big BUCKS it was at this point we purchased our 1 million dollar home."

Yeah...this seems plausible...

Update: Be sure to read the comments to the Pilot Online story too; they are a hoot as well.
