What I'm thinking is, why do you take those naked pictures in the first place and what makes you feel they are secure out in the ether somewhere on a server?
Come on now - you want to be looked at and loved and paid lots of money. You like to do the whole cheesecake things for the cameras in the red carpet. You are foolish enough to think that saving naked pictures on the web is secure?
I remember I had a friend who had a girl friend who let him take naked pictures of her. Ah, forever love! Well, not so much and soon the picture was a conversation piece among the guys. Shocking. Not at all chivalrous, very dastardly.
Let this be a lesson to you kids. Don't strip down and take pictures of it - don't let anyone else take them. If you do, someone you do not want to is somehow going to see them at some point.
So don't do it. And stop whining.
UPDATE: So, in the words of Huffington Post, what I am saying above might be interpreted as "slut slamming" and apparently, the Daily Show would like to take people who think like me to task.
Problem is, this is the same bull shit argument that I was talking about with regard to sexual assault.
Folks - even those like Jon Stewart, who should be smart enough to know better - who live in fantasy land, let me once more spell it out to you:
There are people out there who do not care about you, they wish you harm, they wish to violate you in any way they can find. In the case of sexual assault, this means there are those out there who will take advantage of you if you let them. yes, it would be great if those people did not exist. But they do and you can hold your breath over it until you are unconscious and then they will rape you. So you must take care of yourself - not expect others to take care of you.
Same with this much less than tragic nekkid picture scandal (sorry all you nekkid folk, but this is simply not on the same scale). It would be nice if privacy were the rule and everyone valued everyone elses' privacy. Alas, as we have seen, we have a government that does not respect individual privacy and there are a lot of clever folks out there with nothing better to do apparently who do not either. Again, you can wish it were otherwise and hold your breath and take a picture of your face turning blue, just so someone can hack in and then post it - but it will not change things. So you have to take care of yourself. Do not create, save, or post shit you would not be willing to share in the open. this is really an "I failed to look both ways and stepped into the street and can't believe someone hit me" kind of moment.
Folks, neither your government nor Apple can or will take care of you.
I could care less what pictures you take; but if you take them in today's digital world, you accept a risk others will see them, too. Not like that has not always happened even with hots old homemade Polaroid porn shots.
Oh, Jon - all seriousness aside )(which is where you have set it) - what a whiner you have become.
