Trouble in Paradise

From this morning’s Cincinnati Enquirer:

The man picked as Adam by the Creation Museum has led quite a different life outside the Garden of Eden, flaunting his sexual exploits online and modeling for a line of clothing with an explicit mascot.

Registration records show that Eric Linden, who portrays Adam taking his first breath in a film at the newly-opened museum, owns a graphic Web site called Bedroom Acrobat. He has been pictured there, smiling alongside a drag queen, in a T-shirt brandishing the site’s sexually suggestive logo.

The museum’s operators, informed Thursday of Linden’s online appearances, acted swiftly to suspend airing of the 40-second video in which he appeared.

For what it’s worth, Linden claims he only brokered the bedroomacrobat.com domain name and has no control over the site’s content. On his own site, he writes, “Adam was the one who brought sin into the world, and apparently I have brought it into the Creation Museum, and for that I sincerely apologize…” However, the site also includes a photo of Linden posing with Jared Leto, for which there can be no excuse.
