[BUZZ this story up on Yahoo BUZZ]

If you’ve read here long enough, you’ll know that from time to time, I’ve poked fun at various celebrities for the stupidity of “accidentally” allowing nude photos to be leaked online, inviting paparazzi to take photos of their panty-less crotches, and making sex tapes only to cry and whine when they get sold and end up on the internet.

Usually, the subject of such posts are female. I’ve written about Tara Conner, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Antonella Barba, Shyamali Malakar, Vannessa Hudgens, Valentina Vaughn…

Well, and then there was that Gene Simmons sex-tape thing.

Other times, I’ve been pleased to share with you the good news, when there are no such photos or tapes despite people wildly searching for them. Times like when I wrote about Elisha Cuthbert or Pink, or Miley Cyrus. No, I’m not linking to all those old posts. I’m too lazy. If you really want to see them, use the search bar in the sidebar to your left and just type in their names one by one.

So if we’re really going to have equality between the sexes, shouldn’t I be posting about the recent “wardrobe malfunction” that left poor Marcus Lehman (Survivor: Gabon) revealing his penile paraphernalia to the planet?

You’re right. I should. I’m glad we see eye to eye on that matter.

Earlier today, blogs were rushing to be the first to post about it, and share the video. Yes. A video exists, of an episode that aired on television, where in the midst of a race amongst the contestants, Lehman’s penis came out of his shorts and was caught on tape. At one site, one reader acknowledged they’d posted the video on youtube, but that youtube had already removed it. The video was there at that site though, for all to see, and other readers there remarked on how they expected someone at CBS would be getting fired over the slip up.

I disagree.

Well, I don’t disagree that someone will be fired, but I disagree it was a slip up. It’s very noticeable. I mean, how can you not  notice a penis come flying out of a man’s shorts and be flopping along side by side with the runners? I’m quite sure CBS will feign outrage and fire someone, but I’m also sure that whomever the poor sod is who is fired, that they were a designated fall guy/gal for a choice that was probably made deliberately for publicity.

One wonders if Lehman knew and agreed and was compensated in any way, or if he really is a true victim?

Of sorts.

I’m sure he will reap some kind of fame for this. After all, how many females have benefitted from some naked photos “accidentally” released, or a well-timed crotch shot, or even a sex-tape?

And just as with all the females who make that choice, I find myself a skeptic as to the “innocence” of it all. I mean, seriously now! Men out there…. would you run a race with no underwear on, wearing attire that has an open fly where your naughty bits can fly out?

Would you?

You all know that your penis is bound to come flopping out like that? I mean… you’ve had it all your life, you know how it behaves… don’t you?

You’d think he’d have known better, and if it’s ok to razz the women who make the news in this way, my sense of “what’s good for one is good for the other” tells me I should be poking fun at him today.

Pun not intended.

Watch the video here if you really want… I mean… if you think you can’t ‘survive‘ if you don’t see Marcus Lehman’s penis.

All joking aside though, what do you really think? Do you think he did it on purpose for the notoriety and ‘insurance’ that he would get if he didn’t do well in the game but ended up famous for this? Do you think he knew it would be aired and was a part of it, or do you think he was a total victim? Do you agree with me that the network probably didn’t ’slip up’ but aired it on purpose only to feign outrage later yet still reap the benefits of the situation? Do you think there’s a fall guy, or should be?  And if you think you should tell me off for writing this post… go ahead. Why not put me in my place and write your own post telling me off too?

Just make sure you link here so I know about it. That’ll teach me! Maybe I’ll stop writing about this stuff and become a good girl.
