Apologies for the lack of content over the last few days, for some reason my work computer had me locked out of here. I still can't even get into the "What We're Into" thread, probably because it says "Games" in the banner. Who knows?
Anyway, take a look at this picture. You've probably seen it before.
If you've floated around discussion boards or the internet in general over the last few years, chances are you've seen this woman, and she's an example of what I'm talking about.
Now, someone took a picture of this woman and because of, well, how she looks, that picture went viral. Now she never asked for that, she never wanted that and she sure as shit isn't getting paid for that, but her face is now all over the world forever for people to point and laugh at.
I read a story that was all over Facebook and various online news sites about a couple who were arguing on a plane and they broke up on the plane. This person filmed them and took photographs of them and live-tweeted the entire thing. Oh the LOL's. Except, hang on, since when is that OK? Some fucking weirdo recording a private, obviously emotional conversation and puts it all over the world and no-one questions that? Google have YOUR house that they took photo's off and made available for the entire world to see. Did you sign up for that? I sure didn't.
We're now at the stage where when celebs are recording saying stupid shit we instantly pin the blame on them, instead of asking why some fucker was recording them without their knowledge. It was Trashcanman that pointed this out to me about the Hulk Hogan dropping the N Bomb, and I didn't even think of it. When did we get like this?
