I have to hand it to the men of DU.

An entire thread in GD about the paps photographing Kate Middleton with her top off, and not one of them linked to a thread of the photos. That's why DU men are such intellectuals. They don't need to see the photos to get offended. They get the point.

Hell, I'm a straight female, who has no interest, but I know who is likely to have them.

Just call me a realist.

But if I want to see breasts on the 'net, I don't need to disturb the royal couple's privacy to do it. I'm happy to leave them alone.

Maybe Princess Katherine or whatever her title is now showed a little poor judgement in the location she chose to do this since it was visible from a public spot, BUT otoh, she may not even have known that it was not a discrete location. Otherwise, she was just doing what millions of European women do all the time, and it's nothing risque. Even in Ontario I believe women have the legal right to appear topless in public in certain locations such as beaches, IIRC.

Kate was the innocent victim in this in my opinion, and I do hope she can prevail in her suit. And of the royals, William and Kate have really shown class all around, which others in that family have not done at times.

And any man who gets off on those photos is a real prick, as far as I'm concerned.

That a situation like this happens so often now - every week it seems, sometimes a couple times a week (Meaning a celebrity's nude pictures hijacked off their cellphones or whatever) being released out to the public I mean it gets old I would think but I dunno, I am not a man.

I don't know what the big deal is about another woman sunbathing topless there. They're all over the place.
