Moseley's press conferences are apparently not Nazi-themed.

There's sex scandals all the time. But there's no words for what's happening with Max Moseley, the head of the FIA, the governing body of F1 auto racing and, as it turns out, fan of marathon S+M sessions in Nazi-themed sex dungeons.

[quote="The Times of London"]Mr Mosley was caught on video by the News of the World with five women in an underground “torture chamber” in Chelsea, where he spent several hours allegedly indulging in sado-masochistic sex.

The Oxford-educated former barrister, who is president of the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), reenacted a concentration camp scene in which he played the role of both guard and inmate. [/quote]
Suddenly, I feel so forgiving of Bill Belichick: at least he didn't have THAT videotaped, unlike Mosely, who had the whole thing wisely taped for the convenience of British tabloids. I haven't watched the tape, because it is five hours long, and if I'm not going to see There Will Be Blood, there's no way in hell I'm making it through five hours of an old English blueblood getting "red-faced and panting" over a bunch of spanking and commands in German. (That part is real, btw: at one point in the video, everyone's issuing commands in German, the natural language of love and compassion.)

Moseley is now under serious pressure to resign, something F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone is against for extremely credible reasons.

[quote="The Daily Telegraph"]"I find it difficult to believe. It's his business but it sounds to me like a set up. Has he in anyway damaged F1? No," he told the Daily Mail.[/quote]
Five hours of a setup? I tried the same thing when I got back from Vegas. "Seriously, honey: they had tables you could just WALK UP TO. And you can put your money down right there! No protections whatsoever. And they made me sit there all night and lose money AND GET DRUNK!!! The whole place is a setup!"

PS. The United States of America had no comment, as it does not care about F1 racing at all.
