It's clear nobody thought this post was funny (except for a couple idiots who can be ignored). But when you start posting links to peoples home addresses you've lost any high ground.
It's public information, anyone with a phone book can find it.

But let me ask you, it's OK for Trent to pull this gag, but not OK to pull it on Trent?

Wow.

It's not okay for any adult to harass a total stranger for kicks or to encourage other people to do it.

Add the historical gender baggage of that stranger being a woman, and the nature of the harassment being sexually hostile, and it's even worse.

But you guys encouraging what is essentially stalking makes you pretty fucked in the head.

I'm late to this party, but this was a punk move by Moorman. You talked dirty to someone answering the phones. You know what? You're not Crank Yankers. You're not Howard Stern. You're not sticking it to the man when you talk smack about a woman to whoever happened to answer the phone at their place of work.

Here's Lt. Daniel's photo: http://www.dvidshub.net/image/970728/blu…

She look like someone you ought to call right up and talk dirty to while she's at work? Because she just looks like a nice woman to me.

We all know that the Stranger and 3/4 of Seattle hate the Blue Angels, but the condescension, complete lack of respect and misogyny is appalling. Trent, go fuck yourself.

@103: tkc has been consistently against this puerile prank throughout the comments, so obviously it wasn't ok to him.

That's kind of the point. Some Blue Angels being misogynist doesn't justify calling up someone and harassing them, and Trent being an ass doesn't justify calling up his family and harassing them.

But I have to say, it is pretty disgusting that somebody at the Stranger saw "Oh, the Blue Angels are super misogynist, we should call and harass their PR person for having the same name as someone in porn!" You guys have done some hilarious things, some stupid things, but this is just disgusting.

Didn't read any of the stupid comments, but the Blue Angels sucks, bottom line.

@107,

tkc is just another delicate Seattle flower. A dilettante douchebag who picks and chooses her outrage according to the Seattle Hipster code.

The italics are superfluous. And I'll have you know I am an EXPERT douchebag.

@102: I would like to point out hat I never posted any information (although that information is freely available in public records), I was making a rhetorical point in referencing his own phone number. Also, from what I can see, no one even posted any information, Ziff just linked to the white pages.

Trent, you are my idol!

@97 See, that's exactly my point. A white guy that was born in Egypt and who now lives in Milwaukee is an African who is also an American. But he's not what we talk about when we talk about African Americans, usually. He both is and isn't an African American. This call both was and wasn't sexual harassment

And @83 yeah you can hit the phones and say sexually suggestive things to strangers. If you do it just once per recipient, it's probably not a crime. It's certainly not sexual harassment in the legal sense. But you shouldn't do it and anybody who feels the urge to should talk to a professional instead of alarming strangers

Pemulis, for my reading, standardized phrases override individual words, except in the case of clever double entendres. The way I see it, the majority of people in this thread are using the phrase 'sexual harassment', with the benefit of all of its negative connotations, for the purposes of condemnation, while ignoring the term's actual meaning.

    Please wait...
