Commentary: On Internet Rumors that Saddam Starred in Gay Porn Films

These rumors have been Hot News on the Internet for the last week or ten days. Finally I have found the source ... on Yahoo of all places. The rumors originated in Kuwait according to the Yahoo report. The rumors apparently caused the U.S. State Department to respond to inquiries and to issue a statement on the subject.

I quote briefly from the article:

* * * Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein has been caught with his pants down -- literally. A shocking 1968 porn film has surfaced, in which the flamboyant strongman appears performing raunchy homosexual acts!

The image quality of the grainy 16mm film, uncovered by the Kuwaiti secret police, is poor -- but experts who've taken a close look at the hairy-chested actor are "100 percent certain" it is a younger, trimmer Saddam.

"There is no doubt in my mind that this is Saddam -- there's no mistaking those eyes and that distinctive nose," declares Hussein biographer Sadiq al-Sabah of Kuwait, who's seen the eye-popping footage first-hand. * * *

"Saddam appeared in as many as 85 of these films under a variety of stage names, most frequently Omar Studdif," reveals the researcher. * * *

Perhaps this is part of a CIA disinformation campaign. But the article specifically denies that possibility. No doubt the Internet will be awash in Kuwaiti launched porn sites in a few weeks.

In my view – this simply adds weight to the thousands of reasons for the Arab World to turn in any information they have about the possible whereabouts of Saddam Hussein and his family of cut-throats. Reportedly Muslims are outraged by homosexuals and their private conduct. Recently a report appeared that Saudi Arabia had executed some gays for their sexual activity. Perhaps we will see many Arab leaders coming forward with vital information.

"films of him screwing a goat?"

Are you trying to say he used to date Helen Thomas?

[freebilly]

Gay porn...? Big Deal. Come to Kalifornica, Saddam, and we'll elect you Mayor of SF or, as Herb Caen called it, Baghdad by the Bay....

The original source is Weekly World News.

Saddam Starred in Gay Porn Films!

[John H K]

This Douglas Oliver guy has to have the IQ of a steaming dog turd.

Kept seeing fairly idiotic articles by him posted here.

Considered for a while whether it was some sort of parody site, but none of it is really funny.

The article he cites is the WEEKLY WORLD NEWS, not Yahoo originated. It's the ultimate fake tabloid; It's totally fabricated. Kuwait has nothing to do with anything and the State Department hasn't commented on anything.

Everything about Saddam being in Gay Porn was completely made up.

Not surprising this guy bought the Russian idiocy about SARS being bioterrorism.

[Servant of the Nine]

I wouldn't have guessed he was that talented.

Shhhhh ! These rumors are helpful. Bet we will have tips coming in from the Arab world about Saddam pretty soon. Shhhh ... don't tell a soul.

Yahoo Entertainment really has it up a "straight news."

[John H K]

It's pretty clearly marked as "Weekly World News."

[mamarainsberry]

Yeah I think I saw this angle in "South Park the movie" the Saddam and Satan relationship was the best.

[ken5050]

That pic look like a young James Carville....notice the eyes..

[MattinNJ]

I have learned to be very careful ever since I fell for the Notredamus twin towers prophecy on FR. I still hear about that one in the office.

If true, or even if widely believed, this would explain the political support for Saddam and the real basis for the antiwar efforts by America's leftists, LeftyDemocrats, and other Saddamite trash. They see him as one of their own.

Actually it's Ron Jeremy.

[ASA Vet]

Ron Jeremy was jewish.

[ex-Texan]

Is Ron Jeremy dead ... ? You used the word "was" ... just vaguely curious ...

[ASA Vet]

As far as I know he is not dead. I used "was" referring to his following the jewish faith. I doubt if his employment would be in keeping with really being jewish.
I saw an interview with his sister, who said he had been a "nice little jewish boy, until he grew up."

[Salamander]

He can't be dead.
He just sent me an email "invitation"......:))

This is easily the most ridiculous statement I've read in a long time.
