It's obvious that there is much more going on here than simply trying to build an innocuous honey pot. The key part of this scam is to get people to settle out of court for the fine because of the social embarrassment that might come from publicly disclosing that someone has downloaded !!Gasp!! GAY PORN !!Shudder!!, even if they meant to download this instead http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btyhpyJTyXg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btyhpyJTyXg . Additionally, while the title of the file was not listed, I doubt it was "Happy Days in the Barracks" instead it was probably something like "Dastardly Dongs", all with the intentions of raising the level of neighborly cringe factor. So, while this story may be masquerading as a poorly set honeypot, it is also the story of exploiting the latent homophobia that still exists throughout America. Here's my suggestion, instead honeypot Martha Stewart's "Home for the Holiday" under "Porn Bloopers" and see how people respond to the extortionist threat of court time. I doubt it will work out nearly as well.
