Macquarie Private Wealth adviser David Kiely lost his job after being caught on live Australian TV looking at semi-nude pictures of Australian model Miranda Kerr on his computer. He was in the background while a colleague was being interviewed for the news.

So the folks at website Here Is The City want people to send an e-mail of support for Kiely to Macquarie Group headquarters in Sydney, Australia, using the words "Don't fire David Kiely" in the subject line.

"Whether set up or not, Kiely was really only guilty of being in the wrong place at the wrong time," states the campaign. "There but for the Grace of God . . ."

The London-based website lists some of the reasons it is supporting Kiely: He seems nice; the pictures weren't pornographic; and there's way too much political correctness.

Oh, and let's not forget the free publicity!

Sarah Silverman isn't joking about her support for gay marriage. While on 'The View' she became quite serious about equal rights.

"I cannot imagine wanting to get married right now at this time in America," she said. "If you’re for equal rights, why would you get married right now? It’s like joining a country club that doesn’t allow blacks or Jews. There’s no difference. Why would I wanna join that club? It’s gross.”

Too true, Sarah. Too true!

The Los Angeles County public health chief has declined the AIDS Healthcare Foundation's request to force porn companies to use condoms. The foundation was advised that there were far too many companies and performers to police the industry effectively.

When three foundation workers showed up unannounced at a public health meeting. Dr. Jonathan Fielding, the county's public health chief, told them their demands were “very, very difficult to implement.”

“There are roughly 200 production companies with about 1,200 actors,” he said. “All you need is a room and a camera and a bed, basically, to do this kind of shoot, and we have no ability to police this.”

County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky said it was really up to the State to govern the industry. “I think the only answer to this at the end of the day is a statewide approach to this, which would also empower law enforcement, and you run sting operations,” he said.

The AIDS Healthcare Foundation was not impressed. “Well this seems like the kick-the-can approach,” a spokesman told XBIZ. “Why the heck does the county think they can grade restaurants on the health aspects and then they can’t deal with a simple matter of using condoms. It doesn’t seem like a prudent approach.”

Although we think the use of condoms is advisable, we also doubt if regulatory controls are the right approach.
