Now that the Wizard of Oz over at BratBoySchool.com made the curious decision to shut down comments on the blog's two remaining entries, it has yet to be seen if Ethan's readers will ever find the answers to questions no one else could be bothered to ask. Where has Ethan been this whole time? Is he still working with his manager? Is Ben living in their Las Vegas house? Who actually owns the house? And for the love of all that is holy, when will the sex tape leak!

In any event, my interest in this saga is fading faster than Ethan's modeling career, so here's the deal.

The BratBoySchool.com webmaster banned readers from further commenting on the two remaining blog entries. Overall, the webmaster had been cooperative in providing information to those affected by and interested in the scandal. But the tide fell against him in recent days, as former Brat Boy fans openly questioned the webmaster's repeated positioning of Ethan's ex-boyfriend and former porn star Benjamin Bradley as an innocent and unknowing victim. The webmaster swiftly threw the comment switch, leaving Ethan's jilted fans in the dark as of this afternoon.

Meanwhile, Ethan's ex-boyfriend Ben posted an inaudible "video apology" late Wednesday evening, which was about as "half-assed" as that Coppertone spoof he posted five days ago. (Ben uttered something in his apology about T-shirts, but the audio was so low that I couldn't hear anything else. Based on his appearance and facial expressions, I'd say that he couldn't care less about any of this. Hey, that makes two of us!) Due to the technical difficulties, he has pledged to post another video soon.

And as if these people could get any sketchier, Ben's domain name happened to expire today, which knocked TheProjectBE.com offline for a number of hours. Thanks to some unexplained fiddling by the BratBoySchool.com webmaster, TheProjectBE.com now directs to Ben's blog, skipping past the splash page that once offered photos and contact information. How strange.

That's about it, people. To be honest, I'm quite interested in this story and will be following it as it unfolds - although I will leave the bulk of the reporting to newly resurrected bratboyschool.blogspot.com. There you'll find the latest and greatest in Brat Boy drama, brought to you by some random dude in Pittsburgh with more time on his hands than myself. More power to you, buddy.

Also, I am not permitting comments on this particular entry. I do not want my blog to become a forum for Brat Boy discussion. I do not know Ethan or his manager personally. They are public figures by choice and deserve this scrutiny, but they are undeserving of personal attacks. Thanks for tolerating my interest in this story!
