how hard is it for famous people to get: don't whip out your titties if you don't want to see them on the internets

no number of lawsuits can put your top back on

Walker		2012-09-16 04:32:27 PM

Honey, if you don't want pictures of your titties taken don't go out on a balcony topless. The pictures were taken from a public road, not from some guy "invading your privacy". How much privacy can you expect standing outside with your titties flapping in the breeze?

TommyymmoT		2012-09-16 04:32:44 PM

Where are these pictures?
I'd rather fancy a glimpse at the royal orbs.

whidbey		2012-09-16 04:43:24 PM

The US and England could go to war over this.
Pity. For them.

The palace will seek damages from the publisher, which is owned by former Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi.

I find this hilarious.

It's called the Internet

Majick Thise		2012-09-16 04:54:34 PM

The lawyers know all about the internet, but they also know all about 'billable hours'

Not quite big enough to be flapping.

You know what I mean.

Demetrius		2012-09-16 05:03:19 PM

I fapped in the breeze once.

/wait...what?

I just did a quick GIS. I'll look into it more some other time. I'm busy right now.

Wasn't it a French magazine/newspaper that first broke the images?

Also I'm having trouble finding the identity of the paparazzi that was after Princess Diana when she died, but it was in France so I'm going to go out on a limb and assume it was French paparazzi.

I don't think it's the US the British should go to war with over this sort of thing.

OtherLittleGuy		2012-09-16 05:55:13 PM

So, will British partisans burn down the French Embassy in retribution?

What hypocritical oafs. Brits have placed CCTV cameras on every corner to monitor the public, and they shiat themselves when someone invades the Royal family's privacy in a FOREIGN COUNTRY. Sorry, assholes, but your privilege only goes so far.

paj		2012-09-16 06:03:33 PM

Why is having topless pictures of yourself a huge deal? Oooo, she removed a strip of fabric! Prudes.

scathing1		2012-09-16 06:04:10 PM

One place to view said pictures.

Quoted for brilliance.

Also, they weren't that spectacular. The pics or the boobs, at that. Blurry distance shot that could really be anyone.

She is a rather good looking woman. I'm sure her breasts are nice, but we'll never know from the pictures taken at that distance.

It's so nice out... I think I'll leave it out.

ElLoco		2012-09-16 06:06:55 PM

They would get a lot more mileage and a lot less notoriety over it if they would act as if it were no big deal and to admonish the press with "please stop doing this kind of stuff. Really? Guys... it isn't kindergarten anymore. Grow up. Sometimes people are naked. Deal with it."

Clean your contact lenses.

Kate has nothing to be ashamed of.

It was a public road half a mile away, and France also has pretty strict privacy laws, although it sounds like the fines aren't enough to prevent a magazine from publishing these photos anyway.

The royal buttocks are not on display to the general public, and especially not to the commoners.

Snapper Carr		2012-09-16 06:15:45 PM

Nice ass, though.

So the world's most infamous family of welfare cheaters are going to learn first-hand about the Streisand Effect. Wah-farking-wah.

12349876		2012-09-16 06:18:32 PM

They know they're not getting these pics off the tubes.

It's about preventing future pictures. Make the paparazzi and especially the publishers think twice about doing something similar again.

The only thing that would make paparazzi think twice is if we started summary drawing and quartering of anyone caught within 10,000 yards of a celebrity with any type of recording device.

Even then I doubt there'd be much success.

Most likely, it would then be edited and relooped with 'deal with it' memes and 'people are naked.' all over the internet - youtards giggling like schoolgilrls over such insipid content. Eventually, you'll get that neuter whiteknighting it to epic levels, crying that you should 'leave them alone!'

Sigh. There are not "cameras on every corner" in the UK. And most of the ones that are there are owned by the public, not the state.

They're paid as diplomats and representative of the English government in an advertorial sense.

/ In addition, they're the cornerstone of British heritage. Without the royal family, Britain simply loses a major part of their identity especially in comparison to the other European countries.

Bull. The royals are also supposed to pay for various parts of te civil government. If the Civil List act wasn't agreed to by the next monarch, that monarch would be bankrupt almost instantly. The deal gives to elected government more power in exchange for paying for things the royals are supposed to pay for and paying royals a salary.

Well, they could take their shiat and go home.

Print, not internet, is what I understand the injunction to be targeting.

According to BBC coverage today, this will likely end up with the publisher making an apology and paying the couple. Nobody will go to jail. So basically she'll get paid for posing topless but come across as a victim rather than a woman of questionable morals.
