... so showing your own sex videos to your employer?

I don't quite know what to think of that.

You show pics of your family to people in the office every day, yet everybody manages to keep their mouths shut about it.

Wow, you feeling okay, buddy? That was a Martinus-like move.

Here's something new (hopefuly)

Apparently Ghomeshi showed The CBC video of him in action prior to getting fired in an effort to explain how consensual BDSM can still lead to bruising. It was after watching this video that CBC decided to let him go.

So according to this link, Ghomeshi had thought the storm had passed.  But two weeks ago the investigator, Jesse Brown, said on a podcast that he was working on a "monster" story, which Ghomeshi assumed was about him.  It was at that point that he shows these videos to the CBC, which causes them to terminate him.

The kicker of course is that Brown's story has/had nothing to do about Ghomeshi.

But CBC of course didn't give any reason for firing him.

It was only once Ghomeshi posted his self-serving Facebook post which prompted The Star to run the first set of allegations, which then set off the avalanche of other disclosures.

He truly is the author of his own misfortune here.  :menace:

Three women have now gone forward to the police, including that actress, so the police are now opening an investigation.

Dude must be completely off his rocker if he thought that would help.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
