Ken Bone is actually kind of an awful guy

[Liberal_in_LA]

America’s debate sweetheart may be a bit bad to the Bone.

Ken Bone ogled Jennifer Lawrence’s “butt hole,” believes Trayvon Martin’s death was justified, admitted to “insurance fraud” and is a fan of kinky “PreggoPorn,” cringeworthy online musings discovered Thursday reveal.

The crass-leanings of the red-sweatered internet darling emerged after he was boneheaded enough to use an old alias during an “Ask Me Anything” session on Reddit — and users were quickly able to mine the coal plant worker’s past postings.

Commenting on hacked photos of a naked Jennifer Lawrence, Bone, 34, channeled his inner Donald Trump.

“Maybe she should have been more careful with her pics, but the bad guys are still the ones who sought them out and looked at them. By which I mean guys like me. I saw her butt hole. I liked it,” he wrote under the handle StanGibson18.

He also dabbled in some NSFW fringe forums, including “PreggoPorn” — pregnant women in swimsuits — whom he referred to as “beautiful human submarines.”

Bone — who endeared himself with his squeaky-clean image and aw-shucks personality – said he considers the perfect woman to possess “Japanese features, Brazilian curves.”

And in one particular moment of TMI, Bone gushed about how great sex is after his vasectomy.

2. Ugh.

And double ugh.

[NightWatcher]

3. Stop looking for heroes. This was just a dude. Why people fell in love stumps me

[FSogol]

5. Same here. Undecided equals either not paying attention, extremly stupid, or too afraid to admit

being a Republican. In Bone's case, he works for the coal industry. That says either stupid or afraid to admit.

[spanone]

8. i'll go with extremely stupid. if you don't know by now, you'll never know

[trotsky]

16. To be undecided at this point is like being presented with two glasses, and you must drink one.

One is full of battery acid and shards of glass. The other is a Coke. And you ask "Well is it regular or diet Coke?"

[Throd]

4. God forbid I get inadvertently tossed into the spotlight.

[Stubborn]

6. LOL. Sounds like most American men. nt

[liberal N proud]

9. Amm, NO!

[Warren DeMontague]

37. no, Most American men probably don't go in for "preggo porn".

But some do, and if that's their thing, who fucking cares?

[nomorenomore08]

58. Agreed. But this is a particularly cringe-worthy example of oversharing.

He could've complimented J-Law on her looks/body and left it that, but nooo...

[Warren DeMontague]

65. I suspect, given the full context of that post, he was trying to be funny.

Im sure he never imagined it would be treated as a sentence of or two of global newsworthiness.

[nomorenomore08]

77. Wouldn't be so bad by itself, but in composite, it's one more thing that make the guy seem

like a bit of a douchebag.

[Warren DeMontague]

81. Thank God he's not running for anything.

However, next time we're voting on who gets to ask a question at a debate, I'm voting for Deez Nuts instead.

[uponit7771]

13. No...come on...no

[cwydro]

74. Ugh.

I hope to hell not.

[liberal N proud]

7. Basically he is a less wealthy Don the Con

He just doesn't want to admit he is voting for Trump.

[Dreamer Tatum]

10. And America's search for a perfect person trudges on.

Seriously, social media is dumbest, most fucking worthless piece of shit ever invented.

[jberryhill]

60. Lol

[Stellar]

11. "Kind of awful?" ....I'd say awful to the BONE!

[dawnie51]

12. Undecided voter.....

at THIS stage in the game? I didn 't need anyone to tell me Ken Bone was a Jerk.

[Fast Walker 52]

64. yep!

my thought too

[eissa]

14. I think this is harsh and scary

Just because we might not agree with him on many issues, doesn't mean he should be publicly mocked this way. I can only imagine if any of our private browsings and comments were put under the spotlight. There by the grace of God......

[petronius]

19. I would surely agree for anyone who had not sought out the Lawrence images (assuming he

did that). But if he chose to play the game of online privacy invasion, then perhaps this is just his turn...

[JanMichael]

21. Anyone that posts shit like he has is in no position to complain (or others).

The internet isn't private. Only "morans" think that.

[vdogg]

26. I agree

The guy isn't running for public office. I don't give a damn what he looks at in his private life or what he thinks on any number of issues today. He simply isn't a concern of mine, and I have no interest in tearing the man down.

[JanMichael]

46. If no "concern" (your message) why take your time and post? Time and space waster? nt

[vdogg]

75. Simply expressing an opinion.

Sorry that this so offends you.

[woodsprite]

15. He's the "Joe the Plumber" of this election cycle. n/t

[Warren DeMontague]

36. No, Joe The Plumber was an arm of the McCain Campaign.

This dude isn't out there hawking some ideology.

People are apparently shocked and outraged that he looks at porn on the internet, because I guess they just got unfrozen from 1975.

[woodsprite]

47. Nah, he's hawking t-shirts

http://ftw.usatoday.com/2016/10/ken-bone-t-shirt

[Warren DeMontague]

49. well, that's just good old fashioned American entreprenuership.

Like I said, he's not pushing some asshole agenda, like Joe The Plumber who wasn't actually a plumber and wasn't even named Joe was.

[oasis]

17. Just another creep accidentally made famous.

[GWC58]

59. In that case

Bones,🤑, 15 minutes should be just about up................. now! Being an undecided is this Bozos claim to fame? Really!?! More power to him, I guess.

[BlueStater]

18. That's harsh but he's the one who decided to cash-in on his undeserved celebrity.

He's now experiencing the dark side of fame.

[Gothmog]

20. I never understood the fascination with Mr. Bone

[jamzrockz]

30. Me too

Never understood why him out of all the other participants/audience deserved this attention. Maybe because he had the "everyday" man appeal about him

[nomorenomore08]

78. How he'd get "famous" in the first place? Via rambling YouTube videos, like a lot of folks? n/t

[maxsolomon]

22. Oh, now it makes sense - he works in a Coal-fired electical plant!

basically he was asking what the candidates would do to save HIS job - not those of coal miners, or, you know, the planet.

[RonniePudding]

23. This guy couldn't get laid in a whorehouse with a fistful of $100 bills

[betsuni]

24. The Ken Bone thing really irritated me.

The Daily Show and others slobbered all over him. No. Maybe he subconsciously reminds people of Charlie Brown, an uniformed Republican Charlie, that is.

[alarimer]

25. He is no different than millions of Americans

No different than millions of guys out there. No different, really, than any of us here. We like to think we're better, but really we're not. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want my internet history picked over by anyone.

I hate this public shaming of anyone who finds themselves in the limelight through no fault of their own. It's fucking disgusting. It makes the New York Times no better than Gawker (good riddance).

[woolldog]

73. Good post. eom

[gopiscrap]

27. Fuck him

he's a either a fraud or a dumbass. How you can sit there and listen to the shit Trump spewed for 90 minutes and still be uncommitted is beyond me. I don't think any of the undecided are really undecided. I think that they are saying that to get wined and dined.

[AngryAmish]

28. Why are you doing this? This is disgusting.

This is why normal people abhor the political process and everyone involved in it.

This is just a dude. And we have to go out of our way to destroy the guy.

I want a single legitimate reason why such garbage should be repeated.

[Mike Nelson]

29. None of that was criminal...

...so I'd leave his private internet life alone. However, I was never impressed with Bone and would never have singled him out for any kind of attention.

[romanic]

31. I never got the fascination with this guy.

But going through his internet comments and kinks or whatever is equivalent to a witch hunt. It's not right and could easily happen to anyone of us.

[clutterbox1830]

32. His private search history should be private. Why should anyone else care?

He didn't ask to be a debate sensation and his 15 minute of fame will be over soon anyways.

I don't see why someone felt it okay to hack the computer. His opinion is really a non factor in this election cycle.

[Warren DeMontague]

50. just for clarity- they didn't hack his computer. He participated in a reddit AMA

using his reddit account, so of course people could search for previous comments under that handle.

The smart thing to do would have been to use a new handle for the AMA, unless he didn't give a shit, and frankly given the "offensiveness" (or lack thereof) of the stuff he said on reddit, really I understand why he might not consider it.

He said some mildly questionable stuff but nothing "awful". Like I said, one can take issue with his position on the trayvon martin case, but unlike a lot of people he didn't throw out a lot of horrible racist garbage in the process. He just had a particular view, one which seems to have been backed up- right or wrong- by the Zimmerman jury.

[clutterbox1830]

55. thanks for the clarification.

However, you should not trust any story from the NY post since they have their own motivations on any story they print.

I believe that they are only major circulated paper to endorse Trump for president.

http://nypost.com/2016/04/14/the-post-endorses-donald-trump/

[joshcryer]

67. The main thing is all your posts on Reddit are viewable from your profile.

A lot of people don't know that anyone can just click on your profile and read literally every post you wrote. So it's very very easy for someone to read his post history, even search it, and find naughty stuff. Simply searching his username and the various naughty subreddits was going to be bound to find something.

I just wanted to add that bit because a lot of people don't know that simply clicking on the username takes anyone, publicly, to every post you make on Reddit. It appears, from your own usage, that you're looking at your personal post history, but no, you're looking at the profile of your username which is public facing and anyone can see in the world.

[Warren DeMontague]

83. Honestly, when I read the headlines, I assumed it was going to be a lot worse.

I mean, I've read much worse. I think he's wrong about Trayvon, but he's not going off the zimmerman racist deep end like some people are wont to do.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

33. I wasted a James Dean inspired song on him the other day!

I didn't understand the appeal either, to be honest, but I figured that I'd play along and do a Big Bad John parody (about a coal mine) the other day since he asked about energy.

Now, they never reopened that worthless hall
They just placed a marble stand in front of it all
These few words are written on that stand
At this debate was a big, big man
Ken Bone
(Ken Bone, Ken Bone)
Big Ken Bone (Ken Bone)

[nolabear]

34. He just sounds like a guy. The Trayvon thing in context isn't defending it. The rest is just guy.

No, not all guys, but some who are okay people. He's not some icon. Let him be.

[nomorenomore08]

79. I mostly agree. It's just that the few things I've read about him, combined, make him seem

like kind of a jerk. Certainly there are far, far worse people posting online rants out there.

[Warren DeMontague]

35. errrr, I think "awful" is a stretch.

So He looked at the JLaw pics, along with probably half the planet.

He likes pregnant women.. okay, that may be out of the mainstream, but it's hardly a crime.

The "insurance fraud" referenced was lying about having car insurance to get a pizza delivery gig or something. Maybe not a stellar example of citizenship, but it sort of highlights the kind of hoops people have to jump through just to scrape by on low incomes.

TMI? Why shame him about his sexuality? Isn't promoting the idea that sex is good after a vasectomy a good thing? Crap, with all the noise you hear here about the so-called "population crisis", someone should be giving him a medal for that one.

If we're going to condemn all people who look at pornography- okay, good luck on that.

Japanese features and Brazilian curves? Are we going to crucify him for having personal tastes in terms of sexual attractiveness?

Now.. Trayvon Martin- personally I disagree but a lot of people have had differing views of the narrative around that event. The guy is entitled to his opinion. I've seen some vile racist shit thrown around about it, but his comments don't seem to fall in that category, and he clearly had the opportunity to express those sentiments in that context if he held them.

The smart thing to do, of course, would have been to get a new handle for the Reddit AMA. But he's an "undecided voter", how smart is that?

[Oneironaut]

39. Good thing I'm perfect in every way. I will now self-righteously judge him,

because this is the internet, and that's what we do.

What's the point of this article? It's not like he's trying to become the next Pope. This is crappy, pointless gutter journalism.

[Warren DeMontague]

43. Next, we'll find he rented "Rocco Ravishes Prague" from a video store in '96, and NEVER RETURNED IT

Awful, simply awful.

[Oneironaut]

76. And it was from BlockBuster video!

Was the bankruptcy a coincidence? I think not!

[Warren DeMontague]

82. Blockbuster never had porn.

I think they probably could have eked out another year or two, if they had.

[Takket]

40. Remind me to never take an active roll in the political process

[Divine Discontent]

42. LOL... right?! And, now let's for a brief second think how scared these Donald accusers have to be.

VERY brave ladies to subject themselves to public scrutiny. I saw the lady in FL said in her accusation immediately brought up her run ins with the law. Very proactive!

[Warren DeMontague]

44. Good point.

I'm not sure why Ken Bone qualifies as a hero OR a villain, frankly. He's just a dude, hopefully now one who is voting for HRC.

[Divine Discontent]

45. Agreed! I'd question his sanity after Don's collapse the past few days, if he's not for Hilllary.

[lonestarnot]

52. He's allegedly a fucking undecided. How bright can one be to be undecided even at the last debate?

[Jim Beard]

53. I do believe his 15 minutes of fame has come to an abrupt stop. He was going to vote for

anyway. He lied like trump.

[Loki Liesmith]

56. OK, not all of this is AWFUL. Let's be fair here.

1. Creeping on stolen photos of JLaw, yeah that's gross and wrong.
2. Preggo porn: who cares what kind of porn he likes. Leaking this info about him was a violation.
3. Putting out there what kind of women he finds attractive...also a violation. Nothing wrong with having a type.
4. Admitting to insurance fraud - very bad
5. Thinking Trayvon Martin's death was justified: I think he's wrong on the facts. Was he dick about it? Dunno.

People liked him because he looked like a Teddybear. That's all.

[TCJ70]

61. Yeah, this is definitely overblown...

...even the insurance thing. It's not like he got any money out of it. He was just trying to keep a job. As for Trayvon, he went with what the court determined but also didn't have kind things to say about Zimmerman either.

[MattP]

57. So this is the type of person Gallup picks for one of the most important debates ever!

[Warren DeMontague]

69. what should matter, actually, is the questions they ask, not their posting history on the internet.

they're not auditioning for anything except the chance to say a sentence or two. What's important is the policy matters.

[Blue Owl]

62. What's the frequency Kenneth

n/t

[kcr]

63. I agree. There is such a thing as integrity.

His opinion about Trevon Martin. His insurance fraud. His possession and ogling of stolen naked pictures. These point to a pattern. They're the kinds of things that decent people don't do. If it were just the porn and talking about what he's attracted to, stuff like that, well of course not.

[Cha]

80. Aw shit. that's disgusting. Too bad he's an idiot then.. thanks

for this,
