Deadspin launches Indiegogo fundraiser to buy alleged photo of Ryan Lochte’s penis
Jeez, read Deadspin here and see ‘project’ on Indiegogo ($126 raised as of now, the goal apparently $5,000 in 7 days), via SCAQ Blog
Do you want to see Ryan Lochte’s alleged penis? Rather than bidding on some hypothetical market value of the photograph, let’s establish a real market value. Call it Cockstarter: Our offer price will be whatever you collectively pledge to the cause, plus a contribution from our own budget. Based on your pledges, we will make a final determination on the photo by next week.
