I don’t really know how to start this post off subtly so I’m just going to jump into the thick of it. If you were wondering why U Suxxors failed to update on Friday, I was dealing with a matter that has left me in heavy contemplation. Throughout the weekend it’s been on my mind, and today I might as well come out with it.
I find myself, as the owner of U Suxxors, involved in a dilemma, so I’m going to get completely serious here for a moment. I’ve come into possession of a video that was anonymously sent to me. I won’t detail my entire back and forth with the person who sent the tape out of respect for their privacy, but I can tell you they opted to send the video to me instead of a bigger, more well known celebrity blogger or news outlet because they were afraid of the backlash. They were afraid their name would get out. Instead, they made the decision to let someone else do it and discreetly fade into the shadows.
So here I am, still left trying to figure out what I should do. The video is a sex tape, featuring a well known celebrity that has been in the news quite a bit as of late. We might as well get that out in the open so you can fully understand what I’m dealing with here on my end. Frankly, when I started this whole she-bang last year I didn’t expect to ever find myself in this position. Times change.
So the big question now is, should I release this thing to the internet? I feel like I’m sitting on a piece of history here. Something that could change lives and of course, expose them in ways they probably never wanted to be exposed. Then again, I’m a firm believer in information being reported rather than withheld. Censorship is a terrible thing and the moment we as human beings start blocking free information, the sooner we start walking into our own downfall. Sounds crazy, but the fight against censorship has always meant something important to me. If I don’t release this news, this video to the public, then I’m a hypocrite and a liar. One would argue that this person shouldn’t have left a camera on and they’ve no one but themselves to blame if it fell into someone else’s hands.
I need more time to think about this. You will all know my decision soon.

Perhaps to all those celeb porn fetishees out there, maybe you SHOULD release the tape. And, holding true to what you said in your pregnancy blog, maybe even better ones will appear to try and top the one before.
Hollywood spotlight and whatnot.
Plus, if that happens, it would take the heat (no pun intended) off the guilty party starring in the video in your possession… I can see your dilemma. I’d certainly have banged my head (again, no pun intended) against the wall by now.
