Michael buble

I don't think its a point of being brave. Face it, she would have been talked about period. The difference today is that nowadays everybody has a phone to take a picture of it. you've never commented on someone's inappropriate getups??? I'll be honest I most certainly have. when you come to the grocery store in your pajamas and i can see your nipples through the material, I admit it I think you get made fun of.

Shame on you, get dressed before going out in public. just me. And I'm not talking style policing. Bottom line, There is a reason parts of your body is called your "privates"

My grandmother had a saying, if you don't want folks taking about your business, don't put it on the front porch for everyone to see.

In the summer my church has dress down, finally our Bishop had to publically make a statement. Bikini tops are not appropriate church close EVER.

Are you telling me you can figure if showing your naked backside is "right or wrong"?? Sorry IMO that is a no brainer

While I agree with your statement, wearing something stupid in public and people commenting on it is really not permanent. People snicker, make jokes and then it is forgotten. However, a photo circulated on the internet stays forever. The girl did wear something inappropriate however she didn't put her business in front of the front porch for everyone to see. She didn't post the photo herself, buttcheeks out and everything.Buble took a picture and put it for everyone to see without her permission.

As a woman, I don't find it an issue. What I feel is that the girl is dressed inappropriately for being out in public, period. What I find insulting is that people are only attacking him because he is well known. My nephew posts much more obnoxious, disgusting things on his twitter and I just ignore and move on. If you choose to go out in public dressed like that it's because you want people to see it, so deal....

Sign of the times we live in, not malicious IMO. unfortunately everyone tweets, twits, instagrams and facebook their life away. How many times do we caution folks about emails and fb pictures. People see someone in public doing something idiotic, first thought is NOT to get help or laugh, first thought is to upload a youtube.

Now when you step outside you are in effect going out on the porch.
Like it or not.

Like others have said, the only problem is that a celebrity did it, had I posted this on my fb page I would have gotten 100 likes all from women

I guess it all comes down to whether you think he was shaming her.

I don't.

You defend him by saying he wasn't ridiculing, mocking or shaming her. But you have done exactly that on this thread.
Maybe Buble didn't mean to be hurtful, but he should have known that others would mock her. That's ignorance on his part.

Except, the reality is, she shamed herself. He just did what thousands of people do everyday and took a photo. I've also seen much, much worse by other celebrities, who get a pass for some reason.

To me it just feels a lot like "blaming the victim." "She was dressed in a short tight dress, she was asking for it" kind of thing. Again, I don't agree with going out in public dressed like that, but I also don't think it's cool to post it on line so everyone can make fun of her. And yes I have rolled my eyes at the way some people dress in public, but I would never publicly humiliate them. We also can't tell her age, I would hate to think she is a minor.

We are going t0 have to agree to disagree. I personally think it was a bad move on his part.

Stating a fact isn't shaming, ridiculing or mocking.

That doesn't make it right. I don't care who does it.

No worries.
My dh and I fought this battle with my teenage sons. They know, let me catch you outside with your crack showing and your pants down to your knees like a thug. oh hell no, public humiliation will be the very least thing we'll do.

That is truly one of the dumbest trends known to God

Like I said I don't think he was shaming her. he was laughing at her, yes (i probably would have too) unfortunately in today's world we don't joke alone, we share it with the world

Eh, I wouldn't have posted it but I don't think much about him doing it. The woman went out in public looking like that knowing a lot of folks are going to laugh about her hiney hanging out of her shorts. I'm guessing she got the reaction she was going for in the first place.

 

[sam_gordon]

Or maybe the fact that she is publicly being shamed is the reason to be embarrassed. How many people would say these things to her face?

No one would say anything (to her face or otherwise) if she would wear appropriate clothing.

People have griped for a while (online and else) because of men wearing their pants 1/2 way down their thighs. I guess they shouldn't be criticized either?

See the above.

I hope you're not comparing her to a rape victim.

 

[anniemae]

Well I hope you are not implying that because I certainly wasn't. I was simply talking about blaming the victim. In this case everyone thinks it's okay to make fun of her because of how she dressed. It's okay because she went out like that. She dressed like that so she asked for everyone to make fun of her. Its her fault she is all over the internet. she asked for it, she dressed like that. Victim blaming.

Maybe he was laughing at her in person. However, by posting it, he took it to a shameful, humiliating level.

 

[bdcp]

That doesn't make it right. I don't care who does it.

And, that's not what I said. She has complete responsibility for what she wears in public. It's not "blaming the victim". It's a fact.

 

[bdcp]

Maybe he was laughing at her in person. However, by posting it, he took it to a shameful, humiliating level.

And, maybe she said "take my picture". You have no idea what he did "in person". Does anyone know who she is? Not that I'm aware of, unless she came forward and then that was her choice. How can she be humilitated unless she is named, etc.? The point is, she made a choice.

And, the reality is, we don't have to agree.

How???

I really don't get why he would take that picture.
