The YouTube clip above is actually just sound; AFAIK there are no images. Before I type anything else, I should quote you some background information with which to frame this clusterfuck situation:
In all my years of studying douchebaggery, never have i encountered anything like this. It’s such pure and unadulterated douche that I wish I could bottle it and use just a drop of it at a time.
The back story on this is that a girl named Olga was out with her friends in the Marina district of San Francisco (known for being a popular hang out for douches), and she talked to this guy named Dmitri for all of two minutes. Then she gave him her card and said “give me a call.” The above is the messages he left. Listen to the whole thing, it just keeps getting better and better. I won’t even tell you my favorite parts because i don’t want to ruin anything. Just listen. [omg]
Minnows, few things in my life have ever rendered me entirely mute.
That voicemail was one of them.
Unfortunately, I ran in to representatives for Massengill similar to this exquisite piece of shit work often when I lived at home. In startling contrast, in New York, guys will just walk up to someone and say, "I'll just be blunt, and if I sound like an asshole, it's because I am. You're hot...let's fuck." Far classier, methinks.
I'm still speechless, but at least I've recovered my powers of blog. I may be feeble with bronchitis, but I had to inflict that share that with all of you. Happy Chrismukkah, dear ones.
that was entirely priceless.... heheheehehehe. made my tue morning ...

It gets curiouser and curiouser, the further down the rabbit hole you go.

"A disgraced Toronto doctor who had his medical licence stripped for repeated sexual misconduct 16 years ago has hung out a new shingle: Sex guru.
"Dimitri the Lover" insists he can teach men who attend his Toronto Real Men meetings and workshops how to make women "worship" them...
Dimitri the Lover's real name is James N. Sears.
Sears' childhood was hardly idyllic. One parent was abusive and alcoholic and the other struggled with mental illness, according to court transcripts and disciplinary records from Ontario's College of Physicians and Surgeons.
Sears, as a child, was "subject to compulsive ritualistic behaviour and had developed an attention-deficit disorder with hyperactivity," states a 1992 college record on sexual impropriety charges against him."

wow. the video/voicemail *and* the toronto sun article:
University of Toronto feminist philosophy professor Amy Mullin said it's dangerous and unhealthy to buy into Dimitri's depiction of women as sluts.
thank goodness we have experts to point out what should be, umm, obvious.

Now that this post is no longer password-protected, I must jump in to send you an amen to that, sister. I had a few really weird encounters when I first moved out West, and I must say that the dudes shared a common thread of douchebaggery with this Dmitri character.
In other news, it makes me gleeful when you post, even when it is about this guy! :)

Two undercovers at one of his seminars writes;
"He did seem to have trouble relating to East and West Indian fellows, frequently telling them that a particular bit of advice he'd just given the group "wouldn't work for them", implying that their accent or cultural differences somehow precluded them from being able to employ it without comedic effect."
