Playmate Photo From Apollo 12 Up For Auction
Kilrah_il writes "When the Apollo 12 crew left Earth for a trip to the Moon, they did not know that the ground crew hid a surprise in one of the command module lockers: a calendar photo of Playboy Playmate DeDe Lind. Now this card is offered for auction, after being kept in the personal collection of command module pilot Richard Gordon, who added the following memo: 'This is to certify that the accompanying 4.5" x 6.25" cue card did, indeed, accompany me on my trip to the moon in the Command Module Yankee Clipper aboard the historic Apollo 12 lunar landing mission. This cue card, which flew with me to the moon, has been in my sole possession and part of my personal space collection since my return from the moon in 1969 aboard America's second lunar landing mission, and it remains one of the all-time greatest Apollo era astronaut "Gotcha's!"' For those interested, the minimum bid is $1000." Warning, contains pixelated nudity.
Does that include people who are offended by other peoples morals?
They are photoshopped to remove blemishes, expand breasts, erase fat knees, give them flatter butts, and so on.
Give... them... FLATTER butts? Flatter butts, really, that's what men want today, girls who look like prepubescent boys? Sorry, I'm with Sir Mix-a-Lot on this one.

Oh, toddle off. As a member of the moral community, I can definitively say that the vast majority of us have no interesting in micromanaging your life.
Could you do us all a favour then and tell your "minority" to STFU? When you let them do all the talking, they'll naturally come to represent both them and you.
Getting back on topic, this story is more than a little disconcerting. I was raised to believe that the Moon landings represented the pinnacle of American gumption, values, and achievement. And now, all of these years later, we discover that this seminal event was corrupted by the presence of hardcore pornography. Maybe I shouldn't act surprised, but I always thought that the NASA astronauts were better people than that.
Read The Right Stuff. They weren't better men, they were adventurous men. Your mistake.
Linux, you magnificent bastard, I read the fucking manual!
Being AC and all, I can't tell if you are female or not. Could you please show us your tits?
