I mean the obvious question is why female celebrities and not male celebrities? Would they have gotten any interest had they been, as Marokai suggested, been pictures of Taylor Lautner or, say, Michael Phelps? Would they have even bothered? This is obviously a disturbing invasion of privacy, an act of exploitation, and a show of depravity.

It also raises the question, however, of why there were naked pictures in the first place. Setting matters of prudery aside (and avoiding a moralistic argument), why did they decide to upload them to the Internet in the first place? For whom were they intended? Perhaps that last question is overly prying, but I would think celebrities would take greater caution with such things.

At the same time I sort of wonder what the big deal is here, as I often do in these "moral crises". Haven't we already seen these people topless? Even if not, is it such a big deal? We've gotten used to seeing actresses' beasts in movies, no? Of course this doesn't do anything to mitigate the invasion of privacy issue, but the main problem stemming for that, I'd say, is the fact that hacking into "the cloud" is apparently doable. Which should worry all of us. We as a society, again, have apparently decided paparazzi getting into the face of famous people at all times is acceptable, so I'm somewhat unconvinced by people suddenly up in arms about celebrities' "right to privacy".

You're all missing the obvious point that the hacker is clearly a moron since if he wanted to make money the smart thing to do would be to hack Justin Bieber's phone. Imagine the amount of money you'd make from 15-year-old girls using their dad's credit cards to buy leaked sexts.

Maybe it's just my strict African upbringing talking here, but I don't see why teenage girls would have access to their parents' credit cards. Then again I don't see why parents would be paying for their children to have credit cards, but it seems more common than not here... so maybe it's just me.

Can we discuss this?

Not unless you think sexual impulses should be stamped out, which, in your case, you seem to. Sometimes a thing is just a thing.

Lol, really? Do you know what I'm doing right now between responding to you? (no, it has nothing to do with the pics in question)

Why is Beet jerking off while posting on the Atlas forum? More to the point, why is he telling us?

There's objectively more to be made from peddling photos to TMZ (and exchanging with others in the hacker ring).

Also, IIRC there were supposedly photos of Bieber circulated within this ring.

A part of me wants to feel sorry of them, but another part of me thinks it serves them right and they shouldn't have taken the pictures in the first place.

Maybe I should be like Two-Face and flip a coin.

The only ones who don't deserve sympathy are the few who are going with the "they're fakes" route, which makes no sense. There's some personal responsibility you have to take.

Please elaborate on which consensual sexual acts you believe women should and should not do, Obamanation.

Whatever they want to do, let them do it. Like I said, I'm conflicted about this.

Damn, I was really just hoping Obamanation was just really misguided, but I think "lost cause" is a better term to use...

You must have not read that right. I believe women can do whatever they want as long as it's consensual and private. (The obvious exception being porn stars.)

Um, no. I see nothing wrong with what I posted. And my concern with ebola is not to be denigrated. If the world had listened to me two months ago and surged resources to fight ebola, we would be in a much better position than we are in now. If the fact that I am upset over thousands and likely soon tens of thousands of poor people bleeding to death with zero health care raises some objection in your mind, please take it to the ebola thread.


What? That article says the exact same thing mine did.

I haven't seen the pictures and I could tell you that much. It's not as if she's been seen only in an abaya until now or something like that:



(Does this violate the TOS? I recall the issue with the Hot Girls Thread was copyright, and not merely the fact it had images of attractive women, but I could be wrong. It might alternatively violate some sort of skin-showing limit that I am unaware of. Either way if there's a problem let me know instead of... just slapping me with death points, okay? The image is strictly for... illustrative purposes.)

I daresay you could manage with a lot less flesh to fairly determine attractiveness anyway, but it's not like there's much left to the imagination in the first place. Of course I realise you're being humorous but... I've already written this.

Kate Upton is the face of uniquely American excess combined with an utter lack of talent or insight in any way. Her career was based entirely on being a tease, and now that that is gone she will establish herself as the only person whose career will actually be harmed by the leaks (J-Law will probably come out of this more popular).

Isn't that true of almost every swimsuit or lingerie model in every country ever?  Or, do you mean it's American excess because she has huge jugs?
