Pet Rock: The Pop Culture Blog

Find me another country where this chronological order of events can occur:

1) A governor gets busted in a prostitution ring and is forced to resign.

2) The call girl in question becomes an overnight sensation and pop culture phenomenon.

3) Said woman is offered millions of dollars from various skin mags and similar media companies for her photos and/or promotional tour.

So far, this could happen anywhere, right? Here comes the quintessential sign that is wholly an American story.

4) "Girls Gone Wild," one of the aforementioned skin media companies, is in talks to land a $1 million deal with Ashley Alexandra Dupre when someone in a meeting possesses the necessary brainwaves to contrive this thought and blurt it out to the group: Did anyone think to check our archives to see if she's already gone wild?

Wow! Such depravity of mind. Such belief in their product and corporate mission. Admirable on many levels. Dirty on many levels. Only in America!

P.S. Do not interpret this as ridiculing Ashley. Plenty of other places have been and will continue to do such. Let them have their day. Pet Rock just salutes the ingenius thinking of that person in that meeting.
