Welcome everyone! Today I don't have a really long post for you to read, just something simple. But, something that everyone should know about.

Senatorial candidate Linda McMahon used to work for WWE: World Wrestling Entertainment. I'm sure most of you know that. And that itself has gotten her into some controversy recently. You see, there was some older, suspicious footage involving her and her former job. They have just pulled "edgier" footage. That sounds a little suspicious to me, does it to you?

Here's what the company said: "To better reflect our current family-friendly brand of entertainment, WWE is removing some dated and edgier footage from digital platforms," the company said in a statement. "Some of this footage has been misused in political environments without any context or explanation as to when it was produced. This damages the corporate reputation of our company. WWE is well within its rights to protect its intellectual property for fair use."

Well this "footage" has some content that reveals what McMahon started out with: selling sex, and violence, to the youth. I call it her "dirty little secret". Politicians can be quite sneaky at times (Mitt Romney). To me it seems like she's trying to hide the past. But in this day and age, nothing can be hidden once it reaches the internet, which this has. You can try all you want, but the information will always be there. But WWE wants to downplay her past.

Now, my question to you (which I really would love to see people's responses to), is does this footage matter? Is it relevant at all? Do politicians' pasts tell a true tale about their character? Humans make mistakes, we all need to realize that. But are there some mistakes that shouldn't be forgotten?
