We all know the tale of "stolen" sex tapes that have first tarnished and then catapulted the careers of Pamela Anderson, Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian and Kendra Wilkinson. It seems a bit unfair in retrospect that these ladies get so paid for playing the innocent in this ridiculous display of sexual "its not my fault" theater. I mean, why do they get all of the rewards for doing something that our values as a culture supposedly frown upon? That's a confusing message isn't it? But the confusing message is exactly why it works...
Other than Pamela Anderson I would bet the farm (and yes I actually do have one to bet) that Paris, Kim and Kendra played an active role in releasing and promoting their sex tapes. The reason it "works" is because a woman can play the "I was in love with my boyfriend" hand and pretend to be absolutely heartbroken over the scandal. Yet, all the while they successfully BURN into the collective consciousness how hot, steamy and sexy they can be behind closed doors-- doors that accidentally were opened for us all to peak through.
