HERD U WERE TALKIN SHIT

quote:

And Ames's treatment of Russian teenage girls is documented with frightening glee. In the book he recounts one evening with an expat investment banker pal and what he thought were three 16-year-old girls:

"When I went back into the TV room, Andy pulled me aside with a worried grin on his face. 'Dude do you realize...do you know how old that Natasha is?' he said.

"'Sixteen?'

"'No! No, she's fif-teen. Fif-teen.' Right then my pervometer needle hit the red. I had to have her, even if she was homely."

After they do it, she tells him she has a three-month-old baby.

"It was hard to imagine that Natasha had squatted out a baby," Ames writes. "Her oval office was as tight as a cat's rear end....I'd slept with mothers before--they're a lot wider. Sex with them is like probing a straw in a mildew-lined German beer mug."

Later he learns that she's lying--she has no baby, but rather is four months pregnant. After she has an abortion, he writes about her in the Exile, suggesting that she be sterilized and awarded "one of those cheap trophy cups with the inscription 'World's Greatest Mom.'"

Ames's comment on this passage 13 years later:

quote:

I’d be more sympathetic to Greenwald at this moment — or rather, I’m more sympathetic than I should be — if he hadn’t smeared my reporting, attacked me in defense of his fellow libertarian Joshua Foust, and sicc’d his cult worshippers after me to smear me by twisting my old eXile satire around to label me as a “child rapist.”

This is despite the fact that the book with this passage is listed as non-fiction.

i wouldnt be surprised if its all bullshit tbh. all of ames writting in that book is an attempt to be as edgy as possible he wrote while high as gently caress. taibbi's chapters are pretty cool though

he doesn't seem notable or important at all and it seems like he hasn't done poo poo in years. probably shouldn't even have a wiki page. so he's basically just some child rapist who wrote a book and had a stupid blog, neat

I probably should have said "I don't understand how outlets like The Nation and Playboy employed this guy after admitting to this" instead of "I don't understand how this guy still has a career."

Some more nuggets:

quote:

It's that lack of balls that is most disappointing. Why, for instance, keep up the fiction that "Johnny Chen," the eXile's controversial pseudonymous club reviewer, actually exists? "Johnny Chen" is- surprise, surprise- Mark Ames. I know because I was present during many of Chen-Ames' sordid adventures, which were subsequently written up to the horror of the eXile's more straightlaced readers. I can only assume that Ames - wacky, speed-guzzling, on-the-edge Ames = couldn't face owning up to an infamous (and hilarious) piece describing how he rapes a devushka he drags out of a club and into his apartment.

http://www.themoscowtimes.com/news/article/tmt/261541.html

quote:

“Russian women, especially on the first date, expect you to rape them,” said Mr. Ames. “They’ll go back home with you and say, ‘No, no, no,’ and if you’re an American, you’ve been trained to respect the ‘No,’ because you’re afraid of sexual harassment or date rape, and so you fail over and over. But it took me a while to learn you really have to force Russian girls, and that’s what they want, it’s like a mock rape. And then you come back here and you’re really freaked out–because you don’t know if that actually exists deep in all women’s psyches, that that’s what they all want. All relations between guys and girls is basically violent, I think. It’s all war.”

Mark Ames took over as editor of NSFWCorp and brought everyone from the eXile over there before they got bought by PandoDaily. They're all still there afaik. So yeah, he's still working.
