What the actual fuck. This article is repulsive. The line just under her cover page picture is fucked up, the whole article is fucked up. I hate to even have this shit attached to my profile, but I’m going to transcribe this shitty article to be best ability so ya’ll can read this shit for yourselves.
Cover Page
Article
Hooooly shiiitt. You have NO IDEA how many times I just about threw this whole transcription away and said nope, fuck no. JFC. The ONLY reason I’m leaving this repulsive trash up here is so ya’ll can read how truly fucked up this author is. What the fuck became of this guy? Is he in jail? Looks like maybe this is the guy responsible for the creation of the High Times magazine?
Thank you for your service 🫡
Thank you for doing that, truly. It’s important to see just how freely pedophiles would do this shit if society lets them. So fucked.
Please go take good care of yourself after transcribing this. This is the kind of stuff that affects mental health even in the strongest people.
For anyone who needs a palate cleanser after reading the article:

reaction upon seeing fox news community name:
reaction upon clicking on it:
It’s the only kind of “Fox News” allowed in the fediverse.
It's also fun to find items to post to it, but a little tricky to search for them while filtering out Fox Bullshit
May I introduce you to: https://findafox.net/post/list
Thank you and they're so sweet! But I'm specifically focusing on fox news stories (preferably not the depressing ones) for that instance. Just trying to look every few days.
Best of luck to you! It does indeed suck having to sift through Faux News to get fox news.
Yeah I need a brain cleanse after that.
I managed to get a few chapters into "Lolita" before I decided to put it down. It's well written, but so very creepy. This text is like it's written by the main character – maybe even a more honest version of him.
It's very clear that Nabokov despised and mocked most of his protagonists, with only a couple exceptions. Humbert is a loser with nothing interesting about him.
Still some people somehow manage to interpret the book as a ‘defense’ of Humbert of sorts, or a fantasy. Seen this on Reddit.
Yeah, the edition I read had a preface that seemed specifically written to prevent those kinds of interpretations. I wonder if it was written by a female relative of Nabokov's.
It's well written, but maybe too subtle
The truly fucked up thing is that that book is (very loosely) based on a true story.
You might mean the case of Florence Horner, kidnapped in 1948 by Frank La Salle. It's apparently directly referenced in ‘Lolita’. However, Wikipedia mentions that Nabokov was already working on ‘Lolita’ in '47, under its original title ‘The Kingdom by the Sea’; and he had similar themes in previous works, going back to a poem and a novella from '28 and '39 respectively.
Importantly, ‘Lolita’ has a few brief allusions to Lewis Carroll, and multiple to Charlie Chaplin's relationship with Lita Grey.
Thank you, as terrible as it was, to bring this despicable piece of history to light.
Those times were horrible.
It makes me think about the Italian movie from the '80s called "Maladolescenza", which is now considered child porn by many countries, thus illegal.
Its writer and director just kept working for the Italian national television for many many years after that movie, up until the 2010's if I recall correctly.
I also saw a newspaper from the time in which they were interviewing people that came out of the movie theater, asking them what they thought of the movie. It was almost as disgusting as this article.
I think that is ”nascent whore” in the first paragraph. Probably where the pull quote in the middle of the page is from. Also “whore takes to champagne.
“Shie ld s” in the pull quote
“Steer ed by her mother”
That’s it, I quit. 🤮 I don’t know how you did the whole thing.
Dude her mother must have been a grade A piece of shit using her daughter for her own gain like this
Oh thanks, I missed those spelling mistakes. Was doing this on my iPad so I didn’t catch what autocorrect messed up, and tbh I didn’t really feel like proofreading it.
Thank you and please take care of yourself o7. This was revolting to read -- made my skin crawl and hairs raise 🤮.
Fucking groooooooooooossss
Jesus fuck.
Apparently this article already made the rounds in 2022. Newsweek was writing about it back then: https://www.newsweek.com/resurfaced-1978-article-sexualizing-brooke-shields-12-sparks-outrage-high-times-1718907
They say "the author, bylined as Ed Dwyer", which to me sounds as it might've been a pseudonym.
Per the linked article:
Sounds like it probably was the real guy. Ed Dwyer is listed as the founding editor for the High Times.
Nice find on that article.
He's Trump's press secretary now.
I’d almost believe it at this point
PSA: if you use Google to search by an image, it lets you select and copy the text. On Android it can be done by sharing to ‘Lens’, or going through the Google app. (Idk about iPhones.)
I actually tried doing that the first time, but the text was garbled, which is why I ended up doing a manual transcription.
Ah, I've missed the fact that the image is pretty low-res. My condolences for reading that blurry mess.
