Max Mosley, President of the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), is at the center of scandal that makes ex-Gov. Eliot Spitzer look like a junior leaguer. In the video shown below, Mosley is reportedly engaged in a five hour orgy with five prostitutes dressed as Nazi guards — a particularly embarrassing performance given the fact that Mosley’s father, Oswald, was the pre-war leader of Britain’s fascist “blackshirts” and even invited Adolf Hitler to his wedding. Update: Mosley prevailed in a court action in showing that the party did not have a Nazi theme and that his privacy was violated.
According to the English papers, Mosley enjoyed re-enacted scenes from a concentration camp with the prostitutes and the video shows the orgy ending with the prostitutes drinking wine while Mr Mosley, 67, “recovering” with a cup of tea.
In the video, Mosley allegedly speaks German as he uses a whip to beat the women and also being mistreated himself — including a lice inspection at the pretend camp. Click here
While he hired fewer prostitutes, Mosley has surpassed the former head of the Iranian morals police, here. Of course, the United States has its own steady stream of dominatrix related cases, such as the recent dominatrix who was renting her facility from a rabbinical school, click here and the professor in New York who was put into a coma after such a “session,” click here.
Mosley insists that he will not resign, click here
Sir Oswald Ernald Mosley, 6th Baronet, was a true piece of work. A fascist, he founded the British Union of Fascists and was interned during World War II. Click here.
Notably, Formula One Management and Formula One Administration president and CEO Bernie Ecclestone has said that, “Assuming it’s all true, what people do privately is up to them. I don’t honestly believe [it] affects the sport in any way.” That is a reasonable position. It is entirely his private life. The Nazi history in his family, however, does raise a legitimate concern over his personal views.
What is interesting is how this would be handled in the United States. There is a tort protecting people from the public disclosure of embarrassing private facts. While there is an exception for publications in the public interest, it would make for an interesting challenge. Mosley is clearly an important international figure, but this is a private matter. Yet, his Nazi fantasies would appear of public interest given his position and his rather infamous father.
It now appears that one of the prostitutes was the wife of a MI5 agent, who was forced to resign, click here.

What difference does it make.The only people that care are the ones, that either make MONEY out of this or that DO NOT.
CONGRATULATIONS from
blogrank.info for the hot post
It’s ok if he’s just a man-in-the-street.
but for his position and influence… wise up.
i don’t see what the big deal is. so he gets his jollies in a weird way. big deal. it’s his thing. hell, let him go ‘gerbil-style’ for all i care. it’s his life and his own time. who cares?
OK, I checked the story and Max plays out both roles. But the only real issue should be the dominatrices’ (or their pimp’s) breach of contract/confidence. News of the World should give Max an account of profits.
“The Nazi history in his family does raise a legitimate concern over his personal views.” Can you explain exactly what legitimate concern this is? That sounds like “sins of the father” to me, and in any event wasn’t Max acting out the prisoner role? It all seems a pretty tawdry story to me, and your last paragraph is grasping at straws to justify it.
He definitely qualifies for the Grand Prix!

I meant that as a compliment of course.
Oh, you are quick!
DW:
I thought the story was already a bit heavy on the German side.
Only a VW Beetle would have been acceptable it appears
JR:
I considered the Ford Probe, Dodge Dart Swinger (1960), and Hummer to be worse options.
Perhaps the race car belongs to that fellow putting up the tower in the desert?
but really, Professor, couldn’t we have gone with a slightly less phallic racecar?
DW:
I should not be surprised that you caught the graphic switch. Indeed, once it went up, I found it off-putting as well. I admit the car is a bit lame but tasteful, family-appropriate, public domain orgy graphics are hard to come by.
DW, not that it’s nearly as bad, but considering this is partly about a weird-ass orgy, have you noticed what the car icon he put up looks like?
Just sayin’.
A grotesquerie….
Still it was a comfort when Professor Turley took down the original graphic for this story. For my 1940’s born generation, the swastika is still visually shocking when displayed. I remember reading comic books and the germans flag in them showed the swastika reversed, so deep was the repugnance. After all this time, it still shocks, symbolizing pure evil…
Niblet,
I suggest you look up the meaning of non sequitur, it might give you insight into your post. Also is the fact that you can shoot a pistol and/or a rifle so comforting to you that you think it’s a major issue? By the way don’t you mind that Oswald Moseley was a personal friend of Hitler’s? Perhaps that makes him heroic in your eyes as you crouch frightened behind your front door comforted by all your firepower.
Almost as bad as Barack Obama indicating in a survey in 1996 he supported a hand gun ban in the country….and now denying it.
Sorry Obama, the NRA has you pegged and life members, like me, are going to work to DEFEAT YOU!
