It seems I’m a participant in an unfolding scandal. I was under the impression that I’d have more time to prepare a statement, but it seems the story is breaking faster than I had expected it would, prompting me to hurry this post out the door. Please excuse any typos, spelling mistakes and/or bad grammar. (My grammar is so bad that one time, she rode her Harley right into an IHOP and demanded a “Rooty-Tooty Fresh and Fruity” or she’d tear up the place.)

Entertainment Weekly contributor Sean Gleeson recently made some allegations incriminating tabloid newspaper The Sun in yet another scandal over the Bad Boy Prince photograph they published. The Sun has printed a retraction, apologizing for the timeline mistake, but Sean maintains that editors at the paper willfully manipulated the photo in question, increasing Miss Natalie Pinkham’s chest size dramatically.

Sean’s allegations were based on “impossible shadows”, which I determined to be nothing more than the natural behavior of light on 3D objects. (Or, in this case, boobs.) Sean demanded video evidence to back up my assertions, so I decided to put aside all modesty and demonstrate the shadow-forming power of a pair of small breasts. Assuming I wouldn’t be able to get permission from the owner of the only female breasts I have access to, I decided the only thing to do was use mine. If you’ve ever wanted to see me topless, now is certainly your chance.

In any case, because of my selfless actions, I’m now up for the prestigious “Sean Gleeson Researcher of the Century Award,” which as of yet, has not actually been awarded to anyone before. Also coming with the award is a pint of Guinness, which due to not living in the same part of the country as Sean, I’ll be asking he give to the charity of my choosing. (I choose the Oklahoma City Alcoholism Center.) Tomorrow morning, Sean will announce whether I’ve won it or not, but either way, it’s going to be huge news. Heck, it’s huge news already. I’m sure by now you’ve seen countless links to Sean’s extremely influencial site from places like boingboing, digg, fark, slashdot, the Sun, and — of course — perezhilton.

I just want to assure everyone that I’m not backing The Sun because I feel they’re innocent — I’m backing them because of my dedication to free thinking. Just like the time I proved that that bigfoot photo could actually be a hiker, or the time I proved that George W. Bush could actually have been giving the thumbs up sign, it’s about not condemning someone with flawed evidence. It’s about proving that someone could be wrong — not proving that someone is wrong.

I’d also like to assure readers that I’m not in the habit of posting homemade pornography to the internet. This time it just seemed like a necessary evil.

I hope I haven’t destroyed what little faith you have in me as a person.
