Move along, now.
Raise the bar, Producer. Totally uncalled for.

Meh, I was midway through editing it.
I watched it. It will do nothing but enhance her popularity.
I can't bring myself to watch the video. I don't think I'd feel good about myself after watching it. What an absolute violation of privacy. I bet she feels extremely violated over this incident, and I hope they find out who did it and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.
If anybody did this to one of my daughters...
It’s not so much a desire to see nudity as it is to see candor, to see what the person looks like when she’s unaware she’s being watched. It’s the impulse behind “Stars: They’re Just Like Us,” and Gawker Stalker.
You are such a good person. Did you look at your "What Would Jesus Do?" wrist-band before you decided if you would watch it or not?

I don't go to church and I'm not religious. I do recognize consent versus a lack of consent for a video, however.
What was your point? Did you get your jollies watching some poor woman have her privacy invaded by some pervert? I bet you did...
"Privacy, it seems, is the new nudity."
New? Voyeurism has been popular for a long, long time. The writer is, bizarrely, trying to explain something that has been common knowledge for...ever? There's an allure for many in getting to see something you weren't supposed to see.
I actually think she gets it wrong. She says this:
I think it's a lot more than that. It's not just a desire to see that "stars are just like real people." It's a desire to take something. Most people can't have sex with Erin Andrews, but they can, now, see her naked against her will. It's a (fleeting) sense of power.
It frankly says more about the person viewing it than it says anything about Erin Andrews.
Kind of a litmus test for common decency for me. I realize that's extreme in this environment, but I see nothing at all that can be gained by validating the voyeurism in this video.

I realize that's extreme in this environment, but I see nothing at all that can be gained by validating the voyeurism in this video. It's a basic assault on privacy, and I hope Andrews deals with the heckles she'll be getting from morons at sporting events this fall who viewed her.
Edit - not that viewing the tape makes one a moron. I meant that the hecklers, which will appear, are morons.
IMO, people like you who say they wont watch the video, and you are such a good person for not watching, and you are a moral hero, and you would never do anything so bad in your life, and you just go on and on and on about how bad it is to watch a video like this, how dare us... you are the person I would watch out for. Not someone who watched the video. Beware the chi-mo!
So my opinion on an assault on privacy upset you this much? I don't think people watching it are bad people, but they certainly are voyeurs. I suppose I could join in talking about how hot she is, and what she is doing in the video. Then I could be cool! I never said I was a good person, either. Making stuff up to project on me to validate/rationalize your own guilt for watching it? Perhaps...
I am not upset! I just wouldn't let you babysit my kid!
Why? Because I don't want to watch a woman unknowingly be filmed naked through a peephole?
OK boss, whatever you say.
You won't get banned or even hassled if you post a link like that, as long as you warn people "this link is not safe for work."

Because the title, Erin Andrews ESPN reporter nude video, gives no indication of what the content may be.
I think it is because people like me who watched the video couldn't imagine why you wouldn't. We like to think we are normal so one would think that you were hiding something by not admitting to watching this.
I just wouldn't let a man babysit my children if I had them. The statistics aren't in favor of that anyway.
Exactly. I thought it was her report on Ghana's Nude-Mula soccer team. Boy, was I shocked.

And I have kids. I don't need to babysit other peoples' kids.
So if you didn't have kids, you would need to babysit other people's kids?

I'm admitting something by thinking it is wrong to film a person, without her knowledge, in the privacy of her own hotel room, let alone her being naked?
Projecting blame/deviant behavior on to me may make you seem normal in your mind, but I'm guessing that most of America has not watched the video, nor do they care to watch the video knowing how it was filmed. Odd board. People who think the film is a violation of privacy, and then choose not to watch it, are the weirdos. OK there.
And I have kids. I don't need to babysit other peoples' kids. I hope you don't have kids, since you seem to think that viewing an assault on privacy is normal behavior. Perhaps you should have someone film your wife without her knowing it, in the nude, and spread it around the internet. That'd be fun, huh?
I guess I shouldn't try and talk to you. I was trying to help you understand what he was thinking by saying that. I think it is painfully obvious that I am think it is deviant behavior to watch the video. I personally believe that there are people who wouldn't want to watch it. I can just understand why some people would think a straight male would be lying if he said he wasn't interested in it.
When I clicked on the thread the first thing I thought was that it was wrong to watch it. Then I figured that every news station would be talking about it and showing blurry clips of it. RIGHT ON THAT PART.
Then I found out that she knew about the video and I figured that she won't know that I, ME PERSONALLY watched it. It wouldn't hurt her any more than she had already been hurt if I watched it.
This is where you can turn it around on me and say I am making excuses, but I already admitted somewhere else in this thread that her knowing about it took all the fun out of it for me. There is way better stuff on the internet that is in glorious HD VIDEO for me to watch.
Just the other day I was telling my mom how bad this country is getting. She asked what I meant and I told her this...
"Mom, let's just say that there are plenty of things on the internet that entertain me that I feel should be illegal"
Seriously, we won't let girls under 21 drink but they can get paid a few hundred bucks or so to do horrible things on video?
Can you imagine some guy bringing his new wife back home to meet his friends and one of them had a subscription to her porn site?
Stuff like that is why I don't want kids, not that they would have to worry about me.
I misinterpreted your initial post to me.![]()
