Omar Studdif the dictator
I should know better than totally ignoring the big fat bait Yahoo! put out for bloggers everywhere: a story that Saddam Hussein starred in gay porn in the 1960s.
Saddam appeared in as many as 85 of these films under a variety of stage names, most frequently Omar Studdif.
Sheesh. Can't do better than that? We have "chemical" Ali, "comical" Ali so obviously we must have "big jock" Ali, too!
Saddam's acting in the picture is actually quite good. One scene, in which he buries his face in a pillow and cries, is so touching you almost can forget you're watching a low-budget sexploitation film
You have to love the imagination of the guys who come up with this crazy stuff.
It's easy to be caught unaware by these items, as Yahoo! is normally about serious, real news that has some resemblance to the real world. But these made-up stories from the tabloid Weekly World News is run under Yahoo! Eentertainment, not news, a fact that many readers (and bloggers!) easily miss.
I doubt Saddam Hussein is currently in any position to sue for libel. And who knows, he might get an idea for a new carreer.
