Jury hears dad's suit against publisher of gay erotica
Jury hears dad's suit against publisher of gay erotica

A Powell father and one-time "Big Brother" reality show contestant whose name wound up on a mailing list for gay sex publications is trying this week to convince a jury to punish the publisher because his then-12-year-old daughter got an unwanted eyeful sent to his home.

Jurors in U.S. District Judge Tom Varlan's courtroom likely will begin deliberations today in a civil lawsuit filed by Kent Blackwelder against Specialty Publications Inc., a California-based firm that publishes sexually explicit material including the gay magazine "Freshmen."

Blackwelder was cast in the second season of "Big Brother" in 2001. The show forces contestants from disparate backgrounds to share a house. Blackwelder was the token conservative. He was voted out midway through the season.

At issue in his lawsuit is the five seconds his daughter perused a mailer featuring photographs of naked men in erotic poses in May 2007 and its impact. He also accuses the publisher of violating regulations on how sexually explicit material should be packaged.

Good thing it was not a religious magazine that was in the trash and she glimpsed for 5 seconds, then she would have turned insane, went on killing sprees, and the mag company would be up on abuse charges.... :rofl:

4. I got Maxim for about a year (without ever doing a thing to get it)
At the top of the mag in small print it said advertisement and they kept sending me something saying my subscription was going to run out soon. My niece was getting two financial mags the same way, never asked for them they just started showing up.

(And I was going to get a mag with pretty ladies, they would not have their clothes on like in Maxim).

They finally stopped sending it, but Bloomberg keeps coming for my niece.

7. 'She said it made her fearful of "being kidnapped"' Huh?
Very strange reaction to 'photographs of naked men in erotic poses'.

9. Not if the meme in their house
is "The gays are after our children!"

Hear that enough from all the adults around you & that's where your mind goes if you're a child.

10. My parents were soooo lucky. They never had to put up
with that being deposited with the mail on the dining room table because my brother and I would filter it out before they saw it ;)
