The face of an aggravated pimp?

In 2011, Dominique Strauss-Kahn was forced out of his position as chief of the International Monetary Fund (IMF; no, not Peter Grave’s Impossible Mission Force) after a maid in a New York City hotel room accused him of sexual assault.  Nothing ever came of that investigation, but where there’s smoke, there is usually fire.  In this case, fire takes the form of crazy sex orgies at a hotel room.  Dominique Strauss-Kahn has been charged with “aggravated pimping” due to his involvement in a sex party ring.  The parties took place at the Carlton Hotel in Lille, France; aggravated pimping means that there was more than one prostitute at the party.

Police investigated the parties for a staggering two years, and in February 2012, police interrogated Strauss-Kahn for 32 hours about his role in the proceedings.  Strauss-Kahn has not denied participating in the orgies, but he does deny knowing that the women were prostitutes.  If convicted, Strauss-Kahn faces up to 10 years in jail and a fine of 1.2 million Euros.

Meanwhile, aggravated pimping is one of the funniest court charges ever.  It sounds like something the tae kwon do Olympian/brothel owner would get involved in, like if he had to assault someone for not paying one of his girls.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
