More flash–and flesh–than substance

It was an auspicious start for Sociable Guy (SG), with his first projects immediately getting noticed by the bosses of a big company. Quality-wise, however, SG soon suffered from the law of diminishing returns. SG simply isn’t talented enough to sustain the career-boosting promise of his first project.

Initially, SG came up with commercially viable but critically reviled “mainstream” ventures. But it was only a matter of time before the head honchos realized there really wasn’t more to him than flashy, youthful but vacuous bravado.

These days, SG is more known for the very telling sex video and incriminating photos that trended on social media. It shows SG not just in various stages of undress, but also in an enviable state of sexual bliss. How limber!

Looks like SG couldn’t resist the lure of the camera, whether behind or in front of it!
