"cum per rerum naturam factum negantis probatio nulla sit"
The proof lies upon him who affirms, not upon him who denies.

I am somewhere, I can't exactly tell where it is. Maybe a store, a mall, a hotel lobby it seemed to be a combination of all there. And this young man come into the lobby wearing a clearly oversized sear sucker suit.
He looked a little bit like this dude in the picture but a little slimmer and the suit was from back in the day and clearly too large for him. He must have thought that I had something to say about it but actually, I remember those suits and thought it quite interesting that anyone would be wearing them now.
He walks over to me and volunteered this information.
"You know, this is one of Bill Cosby's old suits. He let me have it. He is much taller than I am so the pants are a little long, but he wore this a while back. It's a Fraser Men's suit."
I respond, "Really, I didn't know that."
"Yes, Fraser wanted Cosby to wear their suits, it was an endorsement kind of thing."
"No kidding."
"Yep, but after a while Cosby wanted to wear more stylish suits. Fraser suits became more stylish over time. But then Cosby didn't want their endorsement any more, he wanted to wear what he wanted to wear."
By now this young man is fashionably dressed in a very nice suit that was form fitting and more tailored than the old model sear sucker suits were.
"Well, that's what put Cosby in trouble. He was going against the agreement. You know, the agreement was that things will keep quiet as long as he wore Fraser suits. You think that's crazy don't you, that something as simple as an endorsement will cause the downfall of a person in the industry, right?"
"Well, yeah, who would think that something like that would hurt anyone. You should be able to say yes or no to an endorsement, correct?"
"Nope, not in the industry, you don't say no to an endorsement. You take the endorsement and keep it moving.
It came out a few years ago, and Cosby made some kind of arrangement with them and things blew over. It came out again and again, Cosby made an arrangement and it died down, but this time, well as you can see, it has gone viral and Cosby is in deep trouble.
This is how it happens. Cosby is at a party, something like this, a gathering or something and there are folks all around. He is dressed rather fashionably and there are young girls all over the place.
One young lady is standing directly in front of him. In fact, she is standing very close to him. Nice looking young lady, I might add.
Cosby puts his hands on the young lady's waist like so." He is now demonstrating using me as the young lady in his story.
"One thing leads to another and the young lady and Cosby end up doing what that kind of thing leads to. They go off and no one says anything, but everyone knows cause they are doing it too. You look around and folks are all coupled off with other folks, and ain't nobody married to them folks cause it ain't that kind of party.
There are also watchers here. They keep the tabs on all the things that are going on. If any of these folks step out of line, well you know what happens. It just was Cosby's turn to go down."
I am incredulous of this story and I quickly remove his hands from around my waist.
"Dude, you got to be making this up, right?"
"Not at all, I ain't making it up, I am telling you what happened to Cosby and what happens to a lot of them folks if they don't tow the line. It's just that simple. In fact, it wasn't just girls."
Here he shows me a picture of Cosby kissing a man. It looked like it may have even been him but I couldn't really make it out in the dream as the face of the other guy was positioned such that it was not discernible.
"Aww, come on dude, Cosby was messing with men too! You must be kidding me, or you are straight up lying."
"Okay, you can believe what you want to believe, but I am not lying, it's the truth, that's all I got to say."
I woke up before I could ask this dude why he was telling me all this. I decide to look it up, Frazier men's suits, believing that my dream wouldn't actually give me the name of something that was really real, I mean even I doubt my dreams sometimes. No matter how many times they show me stuff, information, I just go, okay… But that has been my history with my dreams, I get names and places and stories that turn out to be true. So I look it up and found out that there actually is a line of men's suits call Frazier, the spelling is FRASER. Not only that, these suits are mad in the UK called House of Fraser http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Suits+Tailoring/S213,default,sc.html.
Okay, let me start by saying this shocked me! And then I did a little research on this company.
Well, I wasn't able to find a direct connection of his endorsements, but I find the endorsements he did make quite interesting.

Last month’s Bafta TV awards saw Judi Dench and Helen Mirren take a back seat as another name stepped into the limelight.
After years of High Street obscurity, the department store House of Fraser staged an almost complete red-carpet takeover.
Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Amber le Bon, Susanna Reid and Kate Garraway, among others, all wore beautiful swishing floor-length bejewelled gowns sold by the store. It was a fashion coup that, overnight, propelled House of Fraser back into middle-class consciousness.

In 1959, High Street department store group House of Fraser bought Harrods.
Bitter feud

| Mr Al Fayed bought Harrods with his brother in 1985 |
Mr Al Fayed bought Harrods with his brother in 1985
The takeover bid was bitterly fought as Mr Al Fayed had previously served on Lonrho's board but left nine months later after a disagreement.
Lonrho's director, the late Tiny Rowland, took his campaign against the takeover to the Department of Trade who duly held an inquiry.
The subsequent report, issued in 1990, concluded that the Al Fayeds had lied about their background and their wealth.
"We are satisfied that the image they created between November 1984 and March 1985 of their wealthy Egyptian ancestors was completely bogus."
The public feud between the businessmen appeared to reach reconciliation in 1993 however Mr Rowland later accused Mr Al Fayed of breaking into a safety deposit box held at the store.
This dispute was later settled with Mr Rowland's wife after his death.

4 Strange, Yet Effective Celebrity Car Endorsements
Mark Frost | Nov 05, 2014 | 0 comments
http://www.automoblog.net/2014/11/05/strange-celebrity-car-endorsements/
Economists Kerwin Charles, Erik Hurst, and Nikolai Roussanov have taken up this rather sensitive question in a recent unpublished study, "Conspicuous Consumption and Race." Using data from the Consumer Expenditure Survey for 1986-2002, they find that blacks and Hispanics indeed spend more than whites with comparable incomes on what the authors classify as "visible goods" (clothes, cars, and jewelry). A lot more, in fact—up to an additional 30 percent. The authors provide evidence, however, that this is not because of some inherent weakness on the part of blacks and Hispanics. The disparity, they suggest, is related to the way that all people—black, Hispanic, and white—strive for social status within their respective communities.

Big Cosby Endorsements
Criticism[edit]
In 1973, The Village Voice writer Terry Guerin suggested the actor was past his prime. Among the reasons, "making spokesman commercials for such established heels as White Owl cigars and Pan American airlines. He has evolved into a kind of self-parodying sap, the kind of flagrant, perpetual parader Sammy Davis has always been."[62]
"The Noble Cos," a 1986 satirical editorial by Edward Sorel forThe Nation, was written as if told by Cosby himself. It echoed the suggestions of other authors that Cosby has become out-of-touch with lower-class African Americans.[63] Cosby said "So this buddy says, 'I didn't mind your commercials for Jello, Del Monte, Ford cars ... Ideal Toys, or Coca-Cola, although Coke does do business in South Africa ... But, Bill, why do commercials for those crooks at E. F. Hutton?' My buddy didn't understand my commercials improve race relations. Y'see, by showing that a black man can be just as money-hungry as a white man ... I'm proving that all men are brothers."[64]
To magazine Black Enterprise in 1981, Cosby has defended his numerous endorsements thusly:
“ In this business, many of us are well paid but we are not all that wealthy. You may read 'X-number of dollar goes to so and so,' but remember, everybody takes a cut--the lawyer, the agent, the publicist. If a company comes along and says 'We'd like you to talk about how much you enjoy wearing this warm-up suit,' and the money is right, I'm going to do it. Jell-O was a dessert in my house when I was a kid. My mom served Del Monte fruit cocktail when I was growing up. They want to pay me to say I eat these products, well, I eat them. I came out of a lower economic area, and this is money. This is a business ... show business. A great deal of our careers depends on keeping ourselves in the public eye. I think performers should take advantage of commercial offers if they're satisfied with the product.[3]

2011 Cosby quote "I don't feel the need to wear a suit"
But Nana Had Her Dreams!
"Ten years ago there was no social media to speak of, which meant the allegations failed to make their way into the public consciousness. That had all changed by this September, when journalist Mark Whitaker published a biography, Cosby: His Life and Times, which controversially omitted the allegations of sexual assault against its subject. The following month, comedian Hannibal Buress described Cosby as a "rapist" during a stand-up set in Philadelphia; the clip went viral. Inspired by the response to Buress's routine, Bowman penned her account for the Washington Post, and the story ballooned."Pasted from http://www.frasercoastchronicle.com.au/news/bill-cosby-rape-allegations-explained/2461714/

Hollywood’s sexual predator problem explodes
By Michelle Malkin • May 7, 2014 01:28 AM
Creators Syndicate
Copyright 2014
"The same industry that sanctimoniously convenes anti-bullying summits with the Obama White House and falsely accuses conservatives of waging a “war on women” has allowed countless children to be stalked, groomed, beaten, molested and raped on casting couches, in movie trailers, and at drug- and alcohol-drenched parties by Tinseltown predators. The alleged child rape scandal exposed by Egan does not exist in a vacuum:
–Last year, child actor Corey Feldman sounded the alarm on rampant pedophilia in a brave, scathing memoir. He recounted how his best friend and co-star, the late Corey Haim, was sodomized by an older male on the set of their hit film “Lucas.” The boys, fed cocaine by a string of predators, attended parties with Hollywood talent manager and child actors’ repMarty Weiss. Now a registered sex offender, Weiss pleaded no contest in 2012 to lewd acts on a child under the age of 14. The victim, another young child actor, alleged Weiss sexually assaulted him between 30 and 40 times from the age of 11."
If all of these sickos had been Catholic priests, college fraternity members or charter school teachers, we wouldn’t have heard the end of it. Perhaps the social justice awareness-raisers in the Hollywood left should take a break from pointing fingers at everyone else — and put a stop to the monsters in their own midst.

I’m Starting to
Wonder if There’s Anyone Bill Cosby
Hasn’t Raped
Bill Cosby To Rape Victim Andrea Constand: "Tell Your Mom You Orgasmed So She Thinks It's Consensual" (Video) {F}
NB COMMENTARY:
I have been doing
some ground work on this thing with Bill Cosby. I am not sure about what you
have said here, except to say, that maybe you just don't understand much about
PTSD. There is no umbrella knee jerk reaction that all who suffer this can be
given. So the idea that they would have come forward years ago discounts the
way that they are dealing with their trauma or not dealing with it.
While people aged 18
or 19 may be legally considered adults and able to fight in wars they are not
physically and mentally mature. In fact, some folks take a long time to become
mentally mature for that matter.
In the
Hollyweird business there are all types
of scenarios and we all know that wine, women, sex and drugs are a big part of
it. Do I have to prove that? Is it hearsay? Yes. By whom? The Hollyweirdos
themselves through various venues.
At 18-19 years old,
you have been given bucket loads of what it's like to live high of the hog in
Hollyweird. The stars parade before you and you want to be a part of the
glamorous life they all seem to enjoy. But they are not privy to the backroom
deals, compromises and adulterating things they will have to do to make it to
the"Big Top." The adults around them do, they have heard the stories
and seen the movies of the real life downfall of these trend setters. These
adults warn their children in many cases. At 18 or 19 who listens to adults?
Especially if you have determined that adults have no clue about what is
happening in the real world outside of their bedrooms.
How many of these
young people, 40 years ago are taught about what "rape" really is?
How many of them come from broken homes? How many of them come from poverty and
are looking for a way out? How many of them are already accustomed to the life style
and know their lines? How many of them think that "giving" your body
in exchange for a chance is part of what comes with getting ahead? And finally,
how many of them realized they were raped after the statute of limitations?
Seriously....... how many women right now, realize they are being raped by
their husbands/boyfriends when they say "NO" and are ignored?
All I am saying is
that, in certain instances, particularly Hollyweird , it's not considered rape,
it's consider to be what you do, what is done to you, and what you see
happening around you.
In essence, many,
many people do this in Hollyweird and
even more people turn their heads the other way, or simply participate. It's
the way of the world in Hollyweird .
Sometimes, the stars
are bribed and intimidated into uncompromising situations and they too are
victims of the greed and vileness of their handlers. Everybody in
Hollyweird is handled by someone. It's
not right, but it is a weird normalcy. Who in Hollyweird is complaining about
the sex trafficking and prostitution and drug rings that go on? Few if any. And
when they do, well they become profoundly targeted. I say profoundly because
they are all targeted. It's show business and it's about the money, fame and
notoriety, the glamour and the luxuries, the high life and the status, the
conspicuous consumption.
Again, how many of
them equated it to rape at that young age? How many of them were raped before
they got to Hollyweird? How many of them realized very late that their rage, insecurities,
depressions, suicidal tendencies, anxieties, paranoia, etc. had anything to do
with their history of being abused by an authority figure, someone they
trusted?
I am a Mental Health
professional, and in my experience, I have seen it happen over and over again,
where the memory of the traumatic situation is erased, skewed or purposely
forgotten, and they ain't even trying to get into Hollyweird. There is no other
pressure around them but family and friends. Now couple that with family,
friends and other celebrities who will come down hard on you for even
insinuating such a thing about Bill Cosby.
He wasn't
"America's dad"during the initial alleged incidences, but if you know
the pathology, many times, once it is not reported or if reported denied, then
it becomes an addiction when it first started off as just sick.
And, HELLO!!! on
your Cosby wasn't powerful back then, you can't be serious? He was outlandishly
powerful with many firsts in this country for any black man during those times.
And he had money!!!! Imagine, here we had a culture that would lynch a black man
in a heart beat for looking at a white woman, let alone raping her, and he was
accepted into the White Aristocracy!! Yep, he was powerful alright, more than
you could ever know, unless you are a Black man/woman in America. Black people
didn't just come of age without a struggle or slippery dancing to get into the
door. Believe me, he was big in the eyes of many people across racial lines and
to have him mentor you or help you get ahead was a great honor! Why? Because he
was powerful.
So, in conclusion, I
appreciate your perspective on this in that it inspired me to write down mine.
Whether the media tries and convicts him or not, is irrelevant. Whether he says
yeah, I did it or not is also irrelevant. What is most needed is the rape culture
being put on blast, especially in how it is played out in Hollyweird, religious
institutions, sports and politics. Powerful people are taking advantage of
women, men and children across the board. If nothing else, that needs to be
addressed. This episode will encourage more disclosure and education on how
folks are supposed to act. Whether it changes the complexion of the lifestyle
of the rich and famous remains to be seen, but it's a step in the right
direction and an important hurdle towards the healing. In these situations, all
parties are victims!
After all is said and done, this photo and the comment below sounds quite eery.
