C’mon folks, whatever happened to originality?

Can it be true that we have yet another anonymous him/her PR scandal mongering blog with a scantily clad female?

At least the last one had some content – regardless of its nature.

How about a real world PR scandal blog with a short, fat boy on the cover image? For the right money…..
