The purported Sandra Bullock sex tape certainly establishes new standards for purported sex tapes.
It may be that, even in the long history of Hollywood depravity, this is the big one: Never before has an actress, a girl-next-door actress at that, been so publicly tagged with an account of such extraordinary sexual behavior. I mean not just suggestions and whispers, but circulating-everywhere details. It may be that there has never been anything that quite exposes the hypocrisy and fraudulence and pure fantasy of the phony-baloney media as much as this. Sandra Bullock, who's made hundreds of millions of dollars off the illusion of niceness and hamishness and old-fashioned nothing-special decentness, is so far out there that even the most gullible will surely never trust the media again. We've all been played for suckers by the pervs, that's the lesson.
Or this might be just another example, in the pile-up of examples, of Internet hyper-reality. The Internet exaggerates everything -- it's a vulgar, loud-mouthed, garrulous, entertaining but boorish friend. We understand this, and discount for it.
Or, perhaps what's most notable here is how Bullock's husband, Jesse James, is applying the blackmail opportunities more and more available in every relationship. Couples have always held damaging secrets about each other. But now, with life in so many instances electronically preserved, those secrets become an easily available weapon and currency.

Jag Carrao: Once a Cheater, Always a Cheater
If your husband cheats -- even once -- should you take him back? And if he cheats -- like Jesse James did to Sandra Bullock -- over and over, heedless of both decency and disease, could you?
I don't need to tell you how the media has reacted to the shocking and strangely circumstanced affairs of Jesse James. You can't buy your...
But even he, with the last line of his article, falls into the trap.
The so-called "journalist" who deliberately and intentionally floated this "rumor," knowing it would flame through the media and harm Sandy's reputation, should be shot, drawn and quartered, tarred and feathered, and left to rot for the vultures. There is just no way to describe how vile his action was.
Now, Sandy has had to step in and put a firm stop to the rumor. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that she's the good girl here and that lying heap of [insert suitably nasty word here, dear reader] Jesse James got his bad girls on the side. Sandra clearly found something real and lovable in him, while also clearly not initially understanding the rest of his personality (which he may have kept well-hidden from her while on his best behavior around her).
But the worst part is these comments, the "so what if she did" type. She's firmly denied that she made such a tape or ever would. Ever. Yet, now, thanks to some jerk who floated this rumor to get his "story," she'll forever be linked to a "sex tape" as people forget the details and, most importantly, her unequivocal denial. She has worked hard to maintain an excellent reputation and that fake journalist just shet all over it.
THAT is none of our business. Sandra has neatly side-stepped that discussion or any revelation about her private love life. She's entitled to keep it private, period.
That tape, if still in existance, will be the "bigone."
Then again, it appears that he didn't even have the good sense to use condoms with those other women.
Most people do crazy things with their spouses after a few years. The difference is, most of us trust our spouses not to go shooting their mouth off about it just because they don't get their way.
"Purported ... tape"
"even the most gullible will surely never trust the media again"
"pure fantasy of the phony-baloney media"
"We've all been played for suckers by the pervs"
I think Wolff is attempted to suggest that tape or no tape, we're being played for fools. The internet of course, being worse again.
That's how I read it.
This is Sandra Bullock you're talking about, NOT Jenna Jameson - stop destroying her reputation with this nonsense. The only thing she is guilty of is bad taste in men, which most women are guilty of. She didn't get to where she is today by being stupid. A sex tape is completely beneath her. If there is one, it's of James and his skankettes.
Whoever this Michael Wolff character is, if he's going to call himself a journalist, he should get the FACTS before stating something as truth and making a bad situation even worse.
IF there is no sex tape its because there is no sex tape.
Its not because its Sandra Bullock. Does she have wings or something?
Do you know her personally?
Even if you did you still wouldnt know what people do in the privacy of their own bedroom.
How do you know whats beneath her?
John Edward threw away an entire political career just to get some. Stranger things have happened than SB having a sex tape.
If she does maybe this will help people like you realize that these are just people like you and I and you only know them the way they want you to know them.
