Julian Assange Wants To Sex You Up: A Mister WikiLeaks Pictorial

As the lone ranger of the information frontier, Julian Assange hasn’t just styled himself into a proponent of global transparency, but a veritable hacker pinup. Between the Swedish rape charges (he uses hard encryption, but apparently not protection), his catalog of hair styles (from professorial to model to spy-assassin), his sleepy-eyed demeanor, that New York Times holiday fashion mag spread (“The Gift of Information”) and his newly discovered 2006 OkCupid profile, some of us can’t help but wonder if Assange is in it for more than just whistle blowing.

After doing some strenuous Google image research, I coupled some choice quotes from that profile with quite a few photos of him trying to look like a sex machine, like someone ready to compromise your privacy at a moment’s notice – provided you’re a woman from a politically-tumultuous country.

“Changing the world through passion, inspiration and trickery. Travel (33 countries), Structure of reality. Birth and death of the universe (physics background). Ontology. Chopping up human brains (neuroscience background)”

“Although I am pretty intellectually and physically pugnacious I am very protective of women and children.”

“I am DANGER, ACHTUNG, and ??????!”

In response to OkCupid’s “I am good at”: “A gentleman never tells.”

“I have asian teengirl stalkers. Hello.”

“Do not write to me if you are timid. I am too busy. Write to me if you are brave.”

“Want a regular, down to earth guy? Keep moving. I am not the droid you’re looking for. Save us both while you still can.”

“I like women from countries that have sustained political turmoil.”

“I could adapt to anything except the loss of female company and carbon.”

"Capable generous men do not create victims, they nurture victims.”

“Passionate, and often pig headed activist intellectual seeks siren for love affair, children and occasional criminal conspiracy.”
