Forget upskirting and downblousing. What do you call it when you take a video of yourself during an..um…intimate moment – with a camera phone for chrissakes?

How about this one: what do you call it when you take a video of yourself during an intimate moment with a camera phone, and then burn it to dvd, and then it gets posted on a popular auction site?

Well, I call it “stupid”.

But that’s even more stupid, to my mind, is that the CEO of the online auction site, Baazee.com, is the one who has been arrested in this sad, sorry, sordid sortie.

According to our inside source, Baazee CEO Avnish Bajaj was arrested after two high school students videoed themselves in the act on one of their camera phones, and the boy shared it with his friends (why do boys do that anyways? Tsk tsk.) Copies of the dvd found their way to many of the adult shops in Delhi, and from there someone got the bright idea to put it online for auction at Baazee.com, a large Indian auction site which was acquired by auction giant eBay earlier this year.

Industry sources say that Bajaj had no idea what was on the dvd, and why would he? That would be like expecting eBay CEO Meg Whitman to know what was on every dvd for sale on eBay (uh oh, Meg, let’s hope that the MPAA isn’t listening!) And they didn’t arrest Meg when there were body parts being auctioned off on eBay, did they?

You can read more about this at http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/, although I don’t recommend it as they have an embarrassing and unsightly pop-up problem.
