This Al Franken stuff is all a big nothingburger.

If this allegation came out 2 years ago, no one would even give it much press. But because of the current atmosphere with recent allegations, it's given a different weight.

[TVC15]

I think if there was sexual assault going on, Franken wouldn’t want a photographer around. Do you think Franken did the sexual assaulting then called in the photographer to document the occasion with a shitty joke photo? Or do you think he did the photo and then had the photographer leave the room and do the sexual assaulting? Whether there was pre or post photo groping or none at all, she uses this photo as primary evidence that she was groped when it absolutely proves nothing aside from Franken being shitty at funniness. It proves she has an issue with exaggerating, possibly with honesty.

I don't completely disagree with you in the sense that I wouldn't necessarily consider the photo grounds for resignation; however, where you see the photo calling the character of the alleged victim into question, I see the photo calling the character of Franken into question, since he is the one joking about sexual assault and using a sleeping soldier as his prop.

What the photo says about Franken is that he makes shitty, immature jokes. Something we already knew. I don’t think there’s a correlation between shitty jokes and real sexual assault. (Although, give that a few weeks, the way things are going...)

What her interpretation to the photo says is that she is prone to exaggerating or dishonest (I’d guess the former), neither of which helps her other, more damaging claim.

Anyway, Franken worked on SNL for like 15 years and this is the worst thing that’s come out about him? He must be the most boring man alive.

Honest question, do you find the fact that she is unconscious in that photo bothersome? Because for me it takes that situation from a 2 to a 8 on the "Creepy Raper" scale.

I mean, the whole photo and joke is shitty, but her being asleep isn’t a factor. That’s typically when you take these types of joke photos. At least she didn’t wake up with a dick drawn on her face.

Now please, stop making me cape for pre-good Al Franken.

I guess. Maybe my knee jerk reaction of "Resign Bitch!" was a bit much... maybe. But he will be under a microscope from here on out and if nothing else comes to light, fine. At this point though, he is one misstep away from being exiled from the progressive movement.

If only Amirox had used the "It was only a picture" defense.

Doesn't say she was forced into it though.  It says she was handed the keys.  She could have said no.

She was forced to have sex with the bodyguard it says.

Franken is a massive asshole who I just agree with politically. I don't think the people who have worked with him on SNL that like him are a majority.

Lol at the Eli Roth thread. Fucking Jordan Peele is the best horror director with black stepford wives about microaggressions by white liberals. No one will care about this movie in a few years.

She was forced to have sex with the bodyguard it says.

Yeah, but it sounds like she went willingly with Stallone.  Sounds like she was pretending to be older than she was and got more than she bargained for.  It was 80s Vegas after all. 

[ModernBoxes]

Weinstein had a whole treasure trove just waiting to be accused to unleash.

Yeah, but it sounds like she went willingly with Stallone.  Sounds like she was pretending to be older than she was and got more than she bargained for.  It was 80s Vegas after all. 

She was forced to give Stallone head when the bodyguard came in

De Luca then entered the bedroom and the victim was forced into giving both men oral sex, the report reads. De Luca also had vaginal sex with her, the victim said.

Following the alleged sexual assault, the victim said Stallone threatened her to keep quiet about the incident. He told her that if she said anything, they would have to “beat her head in,” the Daily Mail reports.

Ouch at the last part.

[Nabbis]

Could have just bought some hookers or something, it's not like Vegas has no supply. That's essentially the damning part of these allegations to me, these celebrities had money and fame for people to form a line for them yet they still chose to do these things.

[benjipwns]

Franken was an Air America host at the time of this, not even an active politician let alone a sitting Senator.

The accuser is also a former Hannity panel member.

AND OF FILIPINO DESCENT.

Case closed.

Yeah, but it says first she had sex with Stallone and it didn't sound forced. 

It happened almost 40 years ago just like most of these allegations now coming out.  Kinda convenient since it will probably be harder to get any evidence otherwise.  I'd bet money most of these "victims" are just looking for a quick payout and not feeling harassed at all.

[Clockwork5]

one interesting thing from this story is there is no mention that the victim came forward about this recently.

I wonder if news sources are just digging through the police records of the past 50 years looking for celebrities.  I mean, i can't blame them if they are.

Neither of the men climaxed but the teen said Stallone asked her if she 'wanted to see come' and then he ejaculated in front of her, the report said.

BTW I'm sure Cosby also did similar shit to pros in Vegas.  It's just that most of them are afraid to speak up when your average john does shady shit, much less a big celebrity. ]

I thought that was while she was rehearsing with him for a skit (where they were supposed to kiss)? He pretended to grab her boobs while she was asleep.

[Trurl]

I thought he just took that picture while she was asleep and that the kiss happened during a rehearsal.

My instinct is to think that both people are being honest with their memories of the kiss.  I certainly don't want to kiss Al Franken and could see my memory of it getting worse with time.  On the other hand if you're Franken and you do something horrible like that I can see your memory drifting to make the kiss less of a big deal.

And of course the whole premise of the bit sounds really shitty.  Many male comedians ogle beautiful women for laughs and it always strikes me as gross.  For example I love Conan but he always makes me cringe when he hits on his guests.

Power is a good explanation, but this was also a much more sex-negative era when Paul Reubens was shunned and ruined his career for jacking it in a porn theater.  Stallone was probably followed by fans and media everywhere and could've ruined his rep too if he was seen picking up a call girl.  Maybe easier to just convince one of those fans to come up to the hotel room and tell them to keep quiet.

Also when I looked up Reubens on wikipedia

Bill Cosby defended Reubens, saying, "Whatever [Reubens has] done, this is being blown all out of proportion."

what you people aren't realizing is that due to the rise of the marginalized groups means that the earnest nature of all things to be considered in having to do with the circumstances of the reality in which we occupy is that the thing is that most people are in their own bubble of thoughts and prejudices and that is due to the government related facilities producing operations and the like a finger pointing at the moon is not the moon but a signpost and that is the thing that is happening in this is that people mistake the finger for the moon because of the situation presented to them by the glow in the dark governmental agencies brought forth from despair to rid the world of problematic nations but turned around to deal with problematic citizens and in doing so cause the realization that these are all machinations of a state apparatus to crush any and all opposition to their goal which is the takeover and subjugation of the entire world and the people that inhabit it regardless of race, colour, or creed.

[MangoMadness]

The thing is that societal norms have changed so much in the past few years that you could find something damming from the past of almost any public figure.

That's what I was trying to say.  Franken's behavior would've been looked at as "lol he was a comedian you prude" just a decade ago.  Just two decades ago, the president of the United States slept with a young intern, and the intern was the one who got the most vitriol and shaming, while the president was largely viewed by pop culture as a lovable horndog.

Perhaps the lack of privacy that Gen Z is growing up with will force them to live up to high standards right from the jump.  But all the previous generations have grown up with the idea that you need to be a bastard sometimes to get ahead in life.  I'm not excusing it, and I'm glad that #MeToo is making such a clear statement that predatory behavior is no longer acceptable.  I've never been okay with that kind of behavior.  But the culture largely was okay with it, and even encouraged it by making sexual domination such a core facet of masculinity.
