Americans, you are missing some serious drama *update* Jian has been acquitted

North o’ the border there’s pretty weird story brewing. Canadian broadcaster Jian Ghomeshi has had 8 women come out and say that he sexually abused them.

He knew this was coming so he tried to jump the story and announce that he’s into BDSM. Unfortunately his partners aren’t.

Here’s his version:

It’s always cute when you Canadians try to show off.

Stuff like that barely qualifies as news down here, much less “serious drama.”

So if, say, Carson came out and said that he was fired because he was into BDSM and then women came out and alleged that he hit them and it wasn’t consensual this wouldn’t make news?

I weep for the state if your country.

Haven’t you heard? They have “Tha Ebolas” down there, and they’re all going to die. They clearly have no time for our Canuckian Shenanigans.

Finally someone brought this up…

I wasn’t sure which slant to take if I started a thread.

You have relieved me of much stress and anxiety (maybe I should get a “big ears teddy” too).

Depends. I’ll need the racial identities of all parties involved before providing an informed opinion.

To be fair, we all thought that old Jian Ghomeshi ‘had the gay’ until all this came out. Mainly, because of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-00zjEq9PNs

edit: to clarify, he’s the annoying shit in the red shirt

I apologize for trying to liven up the LR with a story that’s actually interesting…

It won’t happen again.

I believe I read that his background is Iranian. That should instantly fire up you Americans, shouldn’t it?

Since very few of the womens have identified themselves, you can make them whatever you want. The only one I know of being identified so far is white. And was in the Trailer Park Boys tv show and movies.

Interesting is not a word most americans would use to describe any story about canada.

Was one of the women a moose? Now ***that ***would be interesting!

What’s a radio host?

BDSM isn’t really legit unless your partners are unwilling to a certain extent. It’s about pushing boundaries. By nescessity lines must be crossed.

It’s a risky game and that is part of the allure.

Caught Lucy on CBC today. Interesting twist.

It won’t get interesting until someone posts pics of the chicks. Then, based upon those pics, will we be able to decide if this story is interesting or not.

I’ve never done it but this doesn’t sound like BDSM to me…

End of the first date and he’s driving the girl home, she leans in for a kiss and he grabs her by the hair and pulls her head back roughly and says “do you like that?”. Um, dude, first date? She has no idea it’s about to happen? That’s not BDSM, that’s creepy and scary.

His PR firm quit today.

More BDSM…

In October 2014, DeCoutere joined 7 anonymous women in publicly alleging sexualized violence by CBC Radio personalityJian Ghomeshi. DeCoutere alleged that Ghomeshi once “without warning or consent, choked her to the point she could not breathe and then slapped her hard three times on the side of her head.”

Methinks that he didn’t give them the whole story that they were trying to spin for him.
