Did you hear? Of course you did. Everyone has heard about it by now. I've seen it and you probably have to. Do I feel bad about seeing it? Not really since there really wasn't anything to see. It is just a bunch of grainy images that are about as racy as when they would pixelate tits on Jerry Springer. Some media talking heads say that people should feel bad about objectifying Andrews and that it is because of the internet's fixation with her that led to the video even being made. Bullshit. She's a hot chick and guys like hot chicks. It's in our DNA. Hot chicks are put on TV, in movies, and on the web just because they are hot all the time. I'm sure being a hot chick has helped her career and I'm sure ESPN has given her such a prominent role on their network because she is a hot chick. But I'm supposed to feel bad because ESPN put a hot chick in front of our faces and thus she became an internet sensation? I don't get that. Of course, that didn't give anyone the right to invade her privacy, I think we can all agree on that.
The ironic thing is that the reason everyone has heard about it is because Andrews' employer made a big stink about it and every time ESPN does something it makes news. Andrews surely feels violated (and rightfully so) but I think ESPN is as much to blame for the subsequent brewhaha as anyone. Anyway, here are a shit pot full of links about it that run the gamut of responses:
