Chad Johnson can no longer be seen doing the deed online, thanks to an angry cease and desist letter sent to the two websites who initially shared that imagery. Two blogs posted images of a three-year-old video showing the longtime NFL star all kinds of up in some heavily-tattooed female on Christmas Day. Nice stocking stuffer. They caved quickly to legal pressure, TMZ reports. After receiving a pissed off letter from his lawyer claiming the Chad Johnson sex tape was stolen property they did not have the right to publish, the video was yanked. Score one for the former Mr. Evelyn Lozada. The former Ochocinco contacted the FBI because he believes the tape was hacked from his phone and was absolutely 100 percent not behind the leaked tape. Just the girl bent over in front of the mirror.
Controversy has arisen in Warsaw, Poland as a result of a piece by Maurizio Cattelan. The Italian artist has created a statue of Adolf Hitler praying and placed it in the former Warsaw Ghetto, a location that saw numerous Jews killed by the dictator during his regime. It is titled “HIM,” is only visible from a long distance and is meant to force a contemplation on the nature of evil, according to organizers. However, Jewish advocacy group the Simon Wiesenthal Center doesn’t see it that way. The organization says the placement of the artwork represents “a senseless provocation, which insults the memory of the Nazis’ Jewish victims.” Adds the group’s director, Efraim Zuroff: “As far as the Jews were concerned, Hitler’s only ‘prayer’ was that they be wiped off the face of the earth.” The Nazis sealed off the Ghetto soon after conquering Poland. They forced Jews to live there in awful conditions, many passing away, while they awaited transportation to death camps. Fabio Cavallucci, director of the Center for Contemporary Art, which oversees the exhibit, says: “There is no intention from the side of the artist or the center to insult Jewish memory. It’s an artwork that tries to speak about the situation of hidden evil everywhere.” Where do you stand, readers? What do you think of Praying Hitler? It’s disgusting! It’s thought-provoking!
