Karen Owen's Senior Sex Thesis Goes Viral Video

Karen Owen could be the 'female equivalent of Tucker Max' according to one editor at HarperCollins and if she cannot get a job after her fuck list was revealed, she can at least sell her story for some big money.

Sites such as Jezebel and Deadspin have been getting e-mails from talent agents and editors asking for Karen Owen's information to get in touch with her so they can speak to her further about selling her story.

Deadspin also provide a photo of Karen Owen appearing to be doing some kind of dance in a small black dress. 

One editor at HarperCollins wrote to Jezebel:

I'm an editor at HarperCollins publishers, where I specialize in pop culture and entertainment books. I'm intrigued and entertained by [the writer]'s PowerPoint "f*ck list," which is making the rounds online and am wondering if you could give me her email address or forward my note of interest to her. Even though I'm sure she's horrified that her, uh, presentation, which was intended for a small group of friends, has gone viral, she's a very good, funny writer, and I'm wondering if she has any interest in writing a book. She's like the female equivalent of Tucker Max, and I admire his sense of self-empowerment!"

Jezebel also spoke to Karen Owen who said she never intended for the list to go viral or to hurt anyone mentioned in the document.

Owen has also deleted all of her social media profiles and is not saying much, but she could be getting a book or even a movie deal soon.

Hopefully this is not a hint to others also wanting their own book or movie deal.
