Great Moments In Hubris: Meet Gail Kasper, Self-Appointed “Pin-Up Girl For The Iraqi War”

Ugh. You probably don’t know who Gail Kasper is, because you don’t pay attention to the Daily News‘ Sexy Singles (which she won), watch the Philadelphia Visitors Channel (where she’s a hostess), and, perhaps most of all, it’s been a while since you’ve had the need (or disposable income) to hire a “Professional Speaker and Life Strategist.” But the video at right should tell you everything you need to know about this opportunistic leech on America’s ever-increasingly-retarded modes of self-actualized celebrity. Using her resume, Kasper recently got a gig with the U.S.O. and went over to Iraq to support the troops promote her line of very weird posters, in which it becomes quickly apparent that here, Kasper has appointed herself as a latter-day pin-up girl, which makes sense, in a weird way. If indeed the war in Iraq is a War of Choice, as so many have posited, it should only stand to reason that someone out there could just choose themselves to be the person that the troops in the War of Choice have to jerk off to. (Newsflash to Ms. Kasper: The troops have Internet access, and as such, more porn than they know what to do with.) The video at right is laden with uncomfortable moments, as Kasper preens and poses with one soldier after another, whose befuddled looks all seem to say the same things: “Who the fuck is this chick? And, yeah, sure, I guess I’d hit it?” Kasper seems not to realize that these guys are already under duress — they’re in fucking Iraq. The last thing they need is to be cajoled into being in some spokesmodel’s viral video. Sigh. War is hell, but then again, so are other people.

    That was one of the worst things I have ever seen. I mean it was bad, like, “Faces of Death” bad.

  • johnnyc

    I am a veteran of the Iraq war and trust me, we don’t need a pin-up girl. These broads will do anything to sell their crap merchandise and be famous.

  • the_ill

    having a name like gail, which is really only one step up from being named agnes, should preclude you from any kind of pin-up activity, regardless of looks

  • Dr. Ward

    The music alone almost made my dick shrivel off. The only thing viral about the video is the herpes vibe that skank gives off. Youch!!

  • hoohaa

    umm i wish this video was some sort of ironic humor garbage, it almost made me cry.

    its a nightmarish cross of those ‘successories’ posters, which on their own induce intense suicidal thoughts, and the watery veneer of humanitarianism decisively failing to mask a desire to inject oneself into the overwhelming sexual urges of men caught in perpetual mindfucks.

    its not only perverse. its actually evil. this creature, im pretty sure, spews taco bell green chili sauce out of her vagina.

  • digitallogic

    She gets a 7 on the Kade scale.

  • djlynnabraham

    at the very least, it looks like that cat from your early post has been found.

    My name is Ken Bauman. Yes, that’s right I’m not going to hide my identity from anyone for fear of reprisal like everyone else above me in this string of false innuendos. I’m currently serving as a full time member of our Armed Forces and I am currently deployed to Iraq. I met Gail last January when we were shipping out. We have communicated via email and over the phone and I have come to consider Gail to be a very dear friend of mine. After reading the above comments I felt that it was only appropriate that someone should respond to these false accusations and set the record straight.

    First I would like to say that I am completely appalled that a legitimate company would allow such vulgar expressions of people’s opinions to be posted to their websites. Let alone the sponsors who paid to have an ad on this page. They should be the ones completely outraged by this lack of professionalism. One should always be allowed to express their opinions, but to do so in this manner shows a lack of character and total disregard for human nature and decency. I can only hope that future readers are not as narrowly minded and inept as to take your words seriously.

    Let’s set a few facts straight first. Gail has not been to Iraq yet. We are trying to get permission for her to come visit the troops. Her video was shot at an Air Force Base as the troops were waiting to fly over seas. Having their pictures taken with Gail, receiving an autograph picture of her posters and talking with her was all done voluntarily. None of the soldiers in her video were ordered to pose with here, they chose to be there. None of them were “uncomfortable” with being with Gail. I know this because I was there. Were you?

    The Air Force Base we left from does not allow for civilians to linger around because of national security. She was there in conjunction with the U.S.O. (you did get that fact right)! The U.S.O. must have considered her enough of a celebrity to allow her to accompany them for the whole week. So your comment that she is a “self actualized celebrity” really doesn’t fit. And she probably did use here resume to get the gig. Correct me if I’m wrong but that is the purpose of a resume, is it not?

    Since you were not there to witness these events for yourself let me be the one to let you know that there were no items for sale of any kind. She was not there to make money but to support the troops. She, like a lot of Americans, has chosen not to serve in the Armed Forces. So she decided that the best thing she could do for this country is support the troops and promote American patriotism. Gail does this by lending a caring ear for those who need it. What have you done to support this country?

    Maybe you have never found yourself in a position that you needed a Professional Speaker and Life Strategist, but obviously some people do. Is this your claim to fame? Publicly lashing out at people and hiding your true identity? Creating gossip while totally disregarding the truth? Gail travels all over the country helping people and business become successful. She wouldn’t still be in business if there wasn’t a need for her talents and if she wasn’t good at it!

    A few thought to your readers…..

    Chuck63: “Faces of Death”!? I’ve seen all of the Faces of Death videos and I fail to see the connection. Nobody was harmed in the filming of this video.

    Johnnyc: Thank you for your service. However, you could not possible speak for the entire Armed Forces. She lives near to where our Brigade is headquartered which makes her very special to us. Her desire to spend time with us on our last days on American soil was a great gesture. Oh yeah, Gail did not once mention that she had anything to sell.

    The_ill: Gail means “Lively”. A very fitting name I think. What does a name have to do with being a pin-up-girl anyways? It’s not her name that men are looking at. Even the ignorant author of this column admitted he would “HIT IT”!! Who wouldn’t! I’m sorry; maybe I’m making too many assumptions….are you gay?

    Dr. Ward: Obviously you’re not a real doctor. Is your self esteem that low that you have to beef yourself up like that?

    Hoohaa: Grow up! Now go back to grammar school and try again.

    Digitallogic: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Were you see a 7, I see a 9.9. Thank you for your opinion.

    If anyone else would like to state your opinions please feel free to email me at kenbauman@yahoo.com and I will be happy to respond to them.
