A Los Angeles-based musical duo who are also in a romantic relationship are selling their own sex tape, after they say someone stole it and disseminated it (for obvious reasons, they didn’t specify where the video was released or how widely it has been seen).

It’s scary to think what might happen to an ordinary citizen when a celebrity puts them on blast, but my first response to this story was not compassionate.

I feel grumpy. It's probably too late for me to be up. There's a house full of people, some kind of party. I go to my parents' room to lie on the bed, and my Grandpa Pat comes after me.
