Photo of John F. Kennedy on boat filled with naked women revealed after 50 years? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Finally, hard evidence proving Bill Clinton was not the pimpest of presidents. TMZ has a tattered photo depicting a mid-1950s John Kennedy lazing on a yacht with gorgeous naked ladies. Fascinating, perplexing, historic—but, is it real?

I believe them. TMZ says it consulted all kinds of experts, and they wouldn't lie about that. Say what you will about the propriety of their sources, TMZ's big breaks generally stand the test of time. This qualifies as a big break, and they know it.
The back story is based in fact. That it is insanely juicy, oh-so-scandalous fact only sweetens the deal:
There are numerous articles and books on President John F. Kennedy which mention a 2-week, Mediterranean boating trip that JFK—then a Senator—took in August, 1956, with his brother Ted Kennedy and Senator George Smathers. The trio reportedly entertained a number of women on the yacht. Jackie Kennedy was pregnant at the time and was rushed to the hospital while JFK was on the boat. Doctors performed an emergency C-section, but the infant was stillborn.

Lest you be confused by how this meshes with the last season of Mad Men, the baby described here is Jackie's first, Arabella, whose stillbirth occurred in 1956. In 1963, when the Draper household was falling apart, Jackie's youngest, Patrick Bouvier, died at the age of two days of a respiratory disease.

But here is a question: Who took the picture? The angle suggests they are either (a.) docked, and the cameraman is on land (b.) beside a second boat, and the cameraman is on that (c.) alone, and the cameraman is treading water and angling his camera lens up, which doesn't seem likely, because cameras did not come waterproofed back then. Was there some 1950s paparazzo lurking about, and if so, does he have a whole role of sordid naked yacht pics? Or was Teddy aboard a second, even wilder pleasure yacht?
And: Who are these randos who keep popping up with intimate imagery of JFK cavorting with naked girls and Marilyn Monroe smoking "weed", anyway? How would such a picture come to exchange hands in the first place, and why did the old guy fold and unfold it so many times? He knew it was the president, and valuable, so unless he carrying it around in his back pocket as a talisman, there can't be much reason for the crappy shape the photo's in.

What is he doing reading?

This is WHY I see a lot of comparisons between JFK and Bill Clinton and that's why I make the comment where Bill Clinton is my generation's JFK!

What's the point of dredging all this up again all these years later? We all know JFK was a womanizer, so why bring it up at all?

How about a close-up of those two women jumping off the boat?

Retro4Life · 12-28-2009, 06:59 PM

I think this may be a hoax.

Also, not to be picky but should this thread maybe have a disclaimer saying "adult material" or something? Those ladies are pretty obviously naked.

Tweety · 12-28-2009, 07:15 PM

Yeah, I would bet that it's a hoax as well. But if it's not, at least we know one thing... we know how JFK felt about off-shore "drilling".

That's actually a photo of the S.S. Minnow, on it's final three-hour tour. The picture was taken shortly before the weather started getting rough.

Yeah this is a hoax. News is reporting it is an old Playboy spread from 1967
