Meg White sex tape

http://www.dazereader.com/24001053.htm First order of business: catching up on major stories I missed over the last few months.

The alleged Meg White sex tape started circulating in late September, soon after the White Stripes cancelled their fall tour due to Meg White's "acute anxiety".

Watch the pixelly 150-second clip here if you haven't seen it. The woman in the clip does look a lot like Meg White, both face and body type, but it's almost certainly not her. Fleshbot thinks the unidentified woman looks like pornstar Natasha Nice, though it's probably not her either. The clip is definitely a homemade amateur production (poor quality lighting, single camera on a tripod), not a professional porn shoot.

Fleshbot commenter Bratmix traced the clip's origins to link site postyourgirls.com, where it was posted as a generic amateur video on September 12 (the link is no longer there). So how did the "Meg White sex tape!" rumor get started? Daily Swarm tracked down the rumor source to a nonsense message board thread.

On Monday, September 17, at 6:17 AM, a long-time member of the Hipinion forum community started a thread entitled MEG WHITE SEX TAPE with a simple link to a homemade porn video featuring a female sex partner who bore more than a passing resemblance to a certain rock and roll drummer. A brief 8-hour, 40-post debate ensued over the authenticity of its subject – with many of the same jokes that were soon to be made all over the world – before the thread slipped into the archives.

Until yesterday. You know what happened next.

What did “Itsmecraig” have to say about it after the story broke wide open? Here it is straight from the horse’s mouth:

oh shit dudes,

i found this video through random wank mining efforts and put it up here cause i figured you guys would have a laugh. it had nothing to do with meg white when i found it.

That pretty much cinches it: the woman in the Meg White sex tape is not Meg White.
