I have removed the disputed tag after looking over the talk page. As far as I can tell, there are no facts at dispute here. Actually, as far as I can tell, the whole thing is whether or not to describe Boomis babes as "pornography". Nobody disagrees that there were some hot women and cameras involved. In any case, the disputed tag is not the correct one, unless there are other facts at dispute, in which case, please let us know (this stupid Sanger-Wales-who-founded-wp stuff has been settled as far as I can tell) by posting here.

That's the trade-off in editing entries about yourself.... If you see a blatant error or misconception about yourself, you really want to set it straight."''
