This situation is all over the place and people are coming out of the woodwork to use this to push their agenda.<BR/><BR/>What scares me are all those "funds", "organizations", and "charities" out there that will use this as a part of their scam to get money.Dannyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13806448004236223177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2291200544675330796.post-64034090098217814812009-02-20T16:36:00.000-05:002009-02-20T16:36:00.000-05:00Yyyyyeah. I figured it would just be a matter of time before the photo got leaked - or, worse, some random photographer got sneaky and greedy enough to invade her privacy and take a photo of her while she's recuperating - but knowing it's out there is just awful. And, as much as I want to write about the Rihanna/Chris Brown thing insofar as it's bringing the ways we talk about partner violence into the light, and letting us examine that ugliness - which I've done a lot of, already - the only thing I can think to do now is just not acknowledge it on my blog. Because knowing it's out there and knowing where to find it (and, yeah, eventually seeing it pop up on blogs I read) just gets into this whole scary mental place where Rihanna isn't a person any more, she's a Famous and everyone has some "right" to see everything, no matter how much of a violation that comprises. And dehumanizing her enough to brutalize her or approve brutalizing her is what this was all about in the first place.

Or vice versa.<BR/><BR/>I just can't understand people who try to profit from things like this. I realize that I shouldn't be surprised, but it's just inconceivable to me that we are always seeing problems like this. <BR/><BR/>I am so upset by this today, especially blogs that I regularly read and usually like not only linking to the photo, but actually posting it. It's so gross.frau sally benzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01054413520223145494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2291200544675330796.post-19752532619261397362009-02-20T14:58:00.000-05:002009-02-20T14:58:00.000-05:00I pretty much agree with what you said here. I also thought of the Caylee Anthony case and how many people are profiting off of her now. I mean really, Caylee dolls?BigFredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06433175626024207072noreply@blogger.com
