Ladies, gentlemen, and trolls of the jury, I stand before you to defend a humble motorcycle mechanic who made some very poor life choices. Jesse James allegedly committed adultery, betraying the trust of his betrothed, a wealthy woman who cares for his child from another marriage. The claims that such a union has been threatened, if not wholly wasted, is punishment enough. But no, this man must suffer death by a thousand bitchy little Internet comments.
Jesse James has enough troubles without having to absorb the paranoid rage of millions of women convinced that every man is a cheater. Whenever some rich, famous guy reportedly gets linked to a tacky sex scandal, the rest of the male gender pays a price. We're not all cheaters. We're not all threatened by women who are more successful than we are. We're also not all entitled to think that we're somehow exempt from basic moral choices.
Sometimes I think our entire society needs one big collective hobby. Just a group activity to calm our nerves. We're all so angry. Seriously, what do we have to be so angry about? My supermarket sells eight different kinds of salsa. Whatever.
I'm going to stand up for Jesse James. Here it goes: mind your own business. His alleged tacky affair has absolutely nothing to do with you. It's not about you. Your boyfriend is not going to run off with excessively tattooed succubus -- and if he does, then somebody is getting a better deal than the other.
Instead of working out your Post-Romantic Trauma Stress Disorder on a total stranger who happens to have 99 problems (and a lady is directly or indirectly every single one), give the universe a rest from your negative vibes. Pity the guy.

As a guy who has been married for nearly 20 years, (mostly happily) I find it incrediblle that people judge this guy they never met. Isn't marriage a private arragement?
I honestly do not get it. Jesse is not a preacher , or a role model for kids. He's a motorcycle mechanic. And he used his penis in a way that was not sanctioned by a church? And people who have never met him are truly upset about this? Wow! Why? Isn't it completely absurd? Or is it just a way to get free publicity? I read somewhere that Sandra Bullock is right now negotiating on a movie deal and now her name is everywhere.
I mean its a good excuse to post some lascivious pictures, sure. Why not? But a scandal?
