Storing indiscreet photos in the “Cloud”is stupid. Jennifer Lawrence and a long list of other Hollywood starlets, models, and personalities must certainly now agree. The dust has settled somewhat surrounding the criminal hacking of Apple’s iCloud and the subsequent theft of nude photos stored there by a naive group of female celebrities.
It’s easy to see that a crime has been committed and any rational person must agree that the perpetrator ought to be brought to justice, on this point there really is no debate. However, this incident is pregnant with irony.
In monotonous unity and with the tempo of trained seals, feminists began to bewail the plight of Ms. Lawrence and her colleagues as victims of an over-sexed, misogynist society bent upon the victimization of long suffering heroines. Men have once again been exposed as predatory, moral degenerates. The theatre of the absurd is in high dudgeon. Why, the incident is a clear example of sexual predation, ravenous males practically tearing the clothes from the chaste shoulders of Hollywood’s glitterati. This is the politics of sex masquerading as moral outrage.
Hollywood exists to demolish traditional mores and custom, and to make billions in the process. It is the Mecca and Medina of liberalism which perpetually seeks the deconstruction of traditional American values. And, liberalism's primary success since the 1960's has been a revolution in how Americans perceive and understand sex. It is the loadstone in its secularized Kaaba; the sexualization and exploitation of women. Hollywood is the metaphor for all that is sexually perverse in our culture. The sex factories of pornography and the brutalization of the music industry are the incubus and succubus of Hollywood--liberalism is its gospel.
In fact, the point of the liberal/progressive sexual revolution of the 1960's was, and is, the subjugation of women through sex. Free love, meaning free sex, has been the nirvana of the secular male at least as far back as Sodom and Gomorra. Liberal women have been completely suckered. Women fail to see that abortion rights are really about the male fantasy of sex without consequence. The feminist rejection of the traditional role of the family relieves the modern male of his traditional responsibilities toward spouse and children. It's all a grotesquerie of deceit and domination with women as the object and Hollywood as chief propagandist.
Drawn by limitless wealth and the lure of fame, Hollywood finds no shortage of female accomplices. Ms. Lawrence and rest of the bizarre menagerie cavort in every conceivable medium, making merchandise of their hyper-sexualized images. These women have created multi-million dollar brands, the very mention of their names conjuring up images of lasciviousness. Scroll down the list of victims and google their names, their own publicity photos speak for themselves.
Given the perpetual and ubiquitous appeals to their sexuality, it's difficult to manufacture a sense of moral outrage when titilating photos are released. For women who become fabulously wealthy by branding and monetizing their assiduously managed sexuality, it is impossible to feel more than mere duty to justice when the merchandise of their bodies is stolen through their own cavalier management. Moral outrage also fails when the resulting harm was enabled through their own moral indiscretion. At least in Ms. Lawrence's case, the nude photos were not being shared with her spouse.
Again, there is no question that a crime has been committed and that a vigorous investigation is warranted. But, Hollywood, feminists, the liberal media, and the victims themselves have no moral leg to stand on and the soap-box preaching falls flat as flagrant hypocrisy. Beauty is ephemeral and Hollywood is full of the dusty husks of yesterday's luminaries, wearing macabre masks stretched taught against the irresistible passage of time. Every Hollywood starlet slow marches toward the trash bin of wrinkled obsolescence. When you pitch your tent toward Sodom, you forfeit the sympathies afforded to the just. Ms. Lawrence and her ilk have danced with the Devil in the pale moon light.
Boehner chased McDermott thru the courts for years and ended up getting a decision against him...and a fine.
Notice how you almost never see McDermott on TV anymore? He used to be all over the place.
But her immoral choices may dent her income a bit.
From the days that the, then, local ‘bulletin board service’ obtained it’s charter from the federal government, to gain access to ‘the new computer connection called the internet’, in 1993, to today, the admonishment most ignored is:
“Once you put something on there, it will be there forever, and there is not one person alive, that will not be able to see that, at some time in their life!”
Who on Earth ever thought putting something personal online was a good idea?
I know what I do isn’t safe either, being that I print photos and place them in a booklet. But I’ve got a thing against even normal photos all going online.
I put my nude photos in the cloud and no hits.
Of course, there’s no right action on the part o the hacker. I don’t condone them in the slightest. The Internet is not a “safe” place for information however.
Guess you’re not a blue painted X-Men star then.
something to consider
I can sympathize. I’ve been posting nude photos of my self for years with the same result; no result. I have gotten desperate lately, increasing the number of photos, changing lighting, changing angles, still no results. I’m very discouraged and am beginning to feel discriminated against.
I did receive a letter from google, apple, and MS threatening to disconnect me if I don’t remove the photos.
This is not, was not, in any way shape or form the fault of Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Hudson, etc. The only responsible party is the scumbag burglar, whether physical or electronic, who broke in and stole her folder or shoebox of pictures.
Moral responsibility lies with anyone who views these pictures knowing that they've been stolen from that shoebox. It is NO different.
You assume a lot!
So...you think it's immoral to take a picture of what one sees in the mirror?
You got letters? Gee whiz, I never got nothing. Even Google Analytics is ignoring my pics.
I agree with that, or course, but I’m sure we are all more exposed that we realize.
I myself was the victim of identify theft long before anyone called it that, long before Al Gore invented the internet.
Someone stole my checkbook and I just had a million problems as a result. It only cost me time and aggravation, but plenty of both of those.
Most people who break into homes, I have had it happen, steal my machete, my mantelpiece, or jewelry, why? Probably because I am not some big celebrity, and they wouldn’t be valued at anything. The only reason why I didn’t get an identity theft from that was because my main identity stuff was either outside te home with me or ignored in favor of my wife’s jewelry or my souvenir machete.
It was online but it’s still theft, so I still agree that the hacker was anything but decent. In fact, never had a fondness for the hardcore hackers anyways, so narcissistic, so living in their tiny world.
Ok, Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s pics were taken by/for her husband, and were deleted years ago.
I believe she deserves sympathy and whoever did this needs to go to jail, same as the jerk who hacked into Sarah Palin’s e-mail.
Here is Jennifer Lawrence naked (not really). She looks kinda blue in this one.... : )

After researching using google I cannot find any real naked photos of her..... They have disappeared.
Yeah, I’m not going to believe any of this till I see the evidence!
