The one picture not to take....
Today it was revealed that one of the American Idol finalists had some fairly risque photos of her self engaging in a sexual act with her boyfriend. And once again, my question is, "Why did that seem like a good idea?"
Seriously, haven't there been enough situations where supposedly private pictures or home-videos have found their way onto the internet? I'm sure this girl didn't think that there would ever be a way anyone besides her or her boyfriend would see these photos. But what she didn't bet on was that she would make it onto American Idol, dump her boyfriend before going to California for the finals and then having the bitter ex-boyfriend send out the photos in a mass e-mail.
Slight oversight, which led to major embarrassment.
I understand that couples like to experiment, but in a technological world where pictures and videos can be seen by millions of people in a matter of seconds — it seems way too dangerous to take movies or photos. Maybe when you have been married 50 years, but until then, there is no way. Even the most trust-worthy people will do despicable things, especially if they have been dumped or hurt.
What do you think? Have you ever let someone take pictures or film you in a compromising position? And do you think the benefits out-weighed the risks?

i'm just trying not to think about people old enough to have been married 50 years in compromising positions. i can't think of any reason to have photographic proof of that...
As fun as making photographic evidence may be at the time, it's just not worth it. You can never guarantee that those pictures/videos will not leave your hands. The risk is too big. And that's why I will never do it!
