john "snorky" mayer's legal mugshot - original photo published at http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/
FoxNews.com reports that criminal hardass John “Snorky “ Mayer had a “bet” going with TMZ.com site editor Harvey Levin over whether or not TMZ could track down Mayer’s scandelous mugshot from his troubled, checkered past.
The bet: $25,000
Snorky’s criminal background: Driving on a Suspended Licensed (2001)
And all the 16-year-old-girls in Ohio who had full length John Mayer posters adorning the pink wall of their bedroom as 12-year-olds are falling head-over-heels all over again for their “misunderstood bad boy.”
C-Ho Mesothelioma Rating: 2 out of 10.
Betting TMZ to find an incriminating police photo of an A-list celebrity is like betting a squirrel to find a nut. In TMZ’s case, it’s like asking a Squirrel to find a nut in its own nest.
You only make a bet of this nature with TMZ if you want this information to come out. Mayer moreorless paid $25K to get into the news cycle and look more like a bad boy.
The only real shocking part of this story is that TMZ.com didn’t have the photo themselves. They actually found it at The Daily Photograph.
Mayer only gets a C-HO rating of 2 because the money goes to the charity of Levin’s choice so it’s PR money well spent.
And, though we at Corporate Whoredom aren’t in Johny Mayer’s target market of 15-year-old girls, we do give him props for allowing his recorded concerts to be downloaded for free at Archive.org.
And we can’t get too harsh on any musician who lets their fans tape and trade shows for free.
