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.

Judging from what he said about the incident after, I don't think she was aware of it. If she was aware, and excited that he posted it, well that would be completely different......but still weird, that he and his wife would take that picture IMO.

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.

You are using the same arguments people use in blaming rape victim so it does sound like you are making that comparison.

She wouldn't be all over the internet if people didn't get all upset over dumb stuff. If some didn't make a big deal over the picture, most people wouldn't have even seen it. It would have been some random, forgotten picture shared by a celebrity.

I don't find it offensive either, as a woman myself..

What if she was a beautiful woman appropriately dressed? People would be "oh wow, look at her, she is gorgeous"... , or something to that effect... That would be ok??

They photograph the Kardashians wearing trashy clothes all the time..

 

[Disneylover99]

How???

How was it humiliating? If you saw this in person and laughed with your husband about this quietly, no harm done....just something you found funny or inappropriate or whatever and you move on. The girl doesn't know she was talked about.

But when you post something on Instagram, or wherever you post with a series of hashtags and you have lots of followers, so that the girl eventually finds out, it's really the same thing as walking right up to her and making comments about her bum, is it not?

The father-of-one followed that remark with a series of hashtags, in case it hadn't been clear what he was talking about: '#myhumps #babygotback #hungryshorts #onlyinmiami #picoftheday #beautifulbum

Still, I don't think it's okay to publicly shame someone. where does it end? what if someone does not like your choice of clothes and posts it for the world to mock. People are very brave behind a computer screen. Who is to say what is right or wrong? Would I have worn those shorts? No way, to me they were inappropriate and gross, but I still don't think that gives anyone the right to make fun of someone.

THAT is my point. I am an overweight woman. Given the attitude I've seen on this thread, I have probably been the brunt of ridicule. I think sleazy dress is gross, but ridiculing people is never ok.

I think that would be ok because it would be positive for the woman. But I don't think it would be newsworthy enough to make anybody take notice anyways.

My point...Positive is ok, but anything negative is a no no?
We are all human.. He was with his wife/family.. He has apologized. I almost wish he hadn't.. For once he showed he was human.. There was no face to this woman, then for me that would be a line drawn..

 

[Disneylover99]

Well, it's not nice to comment on a stranger's body. But yeah, it's better if she doesn't know about it.

 

[Soldier's*Sweeties]

I have to ask...

Would people say still think, "Well maybe she shouldn't be wearing that out if she didn't want to be made fun of", if she were obese and wearing something questionable? Or would that be mean?

We're all human, but I think what he did crossed the line. I don't know if this woman will identify herself or if someone close to her will. I know some people have stated that she wants to be noticed wearing those shorts and maybe she does. But truthfully, do you really think she would have chosen those shorts to wear on that day if she knew it would be posted on the Internet and people would be talking about her *** cheeks hanging out? I doubt it.

I don't know her, so I can't say.. I can only surmise, that NO she wouldn't think BUBLE would post it on the internet, but I think we all know that in this day and age anyone can take a pic, and they most certainly do.. It doesn't make it right

Hey, you have your opinion, but I expressed mine, and it isn't changing.. I respect yours..

I'm hoping she wouldn't have worn them if she knew her cheeks were hanging out (I'm going with the assumption she didn't know how bad she look)

Do you think the people on "the people of walmart" give a hoot???

Personally I think people are not as sensitive as the "outragers" would like us to believe.
50 gazillion people on the internet, can't see her face.
I'm gonna go with, no foul

Honestly? The people of WalMart take it to a totally different level altogether. I really don't think they care for a variety of reasons. It looks to me like some of them are pretty hard done by, down on their luck and maybe have some mental health issues....IDK. Again, it's still not right to take these pictures and post them.

I think the girl in the Buble picture probably thought she looked sexy. And I'm sure there are lots of people who do think she's sexy. Unfortunately, pictures like this are often made fun of, and if she does recognize herself, I would imagine she might feel badly.

And nothing should be done if it might make someone feel bad, right?








Sounds like the "everyone gets a trophy" argument because we don't want kids feeling bad they didn't win.

I really don't know what you're trying to say.

 

[eliza61]

He's trying to say that we are becoming a nation of wusses ( my words not Sams).
We can't laugh at one another because God forbid some gets upset.
We have to make sure all kids get a trophy because God forbid a kid actually realize they don't excel in sports. so what do we do??? Stupidity like every kid gets a trophy oh and my personal favorite, games with no outs??? Kid gets 58 strikes until he finally connects

We have to make sure all kids have a birthday party in school even if their b-day is in July, because God forbid everyone isn't recognize in the class.

That we must snuff out any and all laughing at blatantly funny and insane situations involving people because ***gasp****our little psyches are so fragile that we can't recover.

A few months I walked into the door of PNC bank, Bamm. I was texting and walking. yes I was embarrassed, heck yes it was hilarious. after the figured out I was ok, the people in the bank laughed, as they should

I just think that kind of argument has nothing to do with what we are talking about here. Laughing at somebody's expense to make someone feel bad has never been funny......not now, not 20 or 30 years ago. It has nothing to do with the "trophy argument."

Her being wrong for wearing the shorts doesn't make him right for posting the picture.
