Enlarge text"L.A. Candy" is a new teen novel by Lauren Conrad, the star of MTV's reality-TV hit "The Hills". Like all novels set in LA it contains a relatively twisted sex scene. A reality-show sound engineer wires a beautiful college freshman as she prepares to play herself, for the first time, before television cameras.

Conrad writes: "He took out a piece of double-sided tape and began peeling the paper off one side. 'Well, I'm gonna have you tape this microphone to the inside of the front of your bra and run the wire around your side, then I'll clip the mike pack on the back of your bra.' He pressed the tape down, securing it against the tiny mike, and handed it to her. Then he pushed both his thumbs against the tiny mike pack, holding down two buttons at once. After a couple of seconds, a small green light glowed on the top." Wow. The consensual molestation of an ingénue by means of surveillance and recording equipment. How would Foucault have read this?
