Privacy? You Can't Have It.

No such thing anymore. Privacy doesn't exist, and possibly not even in your own home. Neither Oden nor Sizemore wanted their private parts available for public viewing and Oden had to apologize. Too bad. He's a pretty good guy who got hung out to dry! And looked what happened to Phelps. His whole life was turned upside down by one picture. Take a hit, take a real hit.
Maybe it's me but technology can be creepy and scary. It has it's down side and this is it. Better beware....Big Brother is watching and it could be your neighbor, best friend or even.......your spouse! Then of course, everyone will watch. What a shame.
You can folow me on twitter @georgeofman and on face book. Just look me up.

Athletes and entertainers are going to have to get used to the fact that most anything they say or do will be caugt on camera somehow nowadays. It was probably the same back in, say, the late 70's or early 80's when cable tv was just becoming a major force. Now the Erin Andrews thing was different. It was a crime. Most of the other things we've seen with athletes taking odd pictures of themselves or having others take some of them, is simply guys being guys. Its harmless fun in most cases. Why does it necessarily make the person doing the posing a bad person?

Let's see; in Oden's case, the woman wants money for the pictures. In Sizemore's case, someone hacked into his girlfriends computer. Bad people? How about disrespectful idiots. Yes, Celebrities have to get used to it but technology is becoming to invasive.

Too funny george. I meant the peole who just take them of themselves and friends screwing around. Anyone who sells them or tries to blackmail the people in the pictures is bad of course. Still up to the athlete to be careful, but THEY aren't the bad ones I wouldn't say.
