    How unlucky to be in the public eye. You can't get away with too many stupid comments. Sooner or later someone will put it out there for everyone to see.

    Funny!

    My father was a DC advertising creative director and actually did ads for MB's first campaign. He had a framed poster in his office for years. I was in high school when people were walking around around with "I saw the tape and the bitch set him up" t-shirts. Too funny!
