"She Loves The Attention!"

Well, you may be right. It's quite easy to stereo-type a person. We see a young woman posting racy photos of herself on a website and quickly jump to conclusions. Generally, we can take a glance at any given person and have all the information we'll ever need. What do we call these women? 

We call them Sluts. 

But what if a woman really just wanted to have some sexy photos taken of herself? What if she woke up and just wanted to feel beautiful and important for a day? What if she wanted share the saucy snaps with the people that she thought were her friends? What if she sees the superficial flaws in her body and wants to feel better about them? Yes, she asked for attention, but I doubt she asked to be verbally ripped apart on a diabolical, satirical website.

There are some down this road, that do like the attention, and I don't see that there is anything wrong with that. There are a few so-called "Dirty Celebs", that actually say they enjoy being posted on the website. I personally think that The Dirty should not be shut down, but kept running for some of the more useful purposes such as outing immoral businesses (not their owners) and posting about what the "Dirty Celebs" are up to. I concede that less people would visit the website which would mean a change in lifestyle for Nik Richie. For some reason, I'm not all that convinced that he'd be willing to consider it. 

Over the past few weeks, I've witnessed first-hand what The Dirty does to people's lives. The most recent email I've received was from a woman whose photos were posted along with a few comments about her needing to realize that she was ugly and had bad skin. Could someone please take a moment to explain to me, how that was constructive? I understand that it may have been entertaining to the bored citizens of North America, but it sure wasn't entertaining to her or the people that love her. This woman has spent the last two years begging for her post to be removed. So no, she doesn't love the attention. 

What gets me the most is that Nik actually defends his website. It would be one thing if he called it "www.ruinpeopleslivesandenjoyit.org" and was honest about it. But, he's deluded himself and his "Dirty Army" members into thinking that he's actually cleaning up the world. Why did the world need to be warned about the young woman I mentioned? Was she terrorizing the city with her blotchy skin? 

We'll talk soon,
