Since Tim raised the subject again in “Leading Off” this morning, I decided to take one more opportunity to write that sensational headline.
I contacted GOP state house candidate Wayne Richard after my original post and asked him a few questions about the video. He explained that it was posted on his company’s YouTube account by “an individual with authorized access” but without his knowledge. This person added the company’s logo to the video, but Richard says “it was never meant to be available for public viewing.” Â I asked him to explain why a video was posted on YouTube if it weren’t meant for public viewing, but he did not respond to that e-mailed question.
A few days later, he issued a press release to address some of the allegations and announce that he’s reposted the website for his company FUBIOV! (Forget U Buddy I’m On Vacation) to demonstrate that it was merely meant as a place for people to share vacation photos and videos. Not a place for voyeurs to swap videos of women in bikinis. “I may decide to keep the site live as a result of the free publicity it is receiving,” Richard stated.
