    Can't fix stupid.

      It is not just stupid, it is conditioning as well

      I would not expect anything different when 70% of the printed press circulation contains (albeit usually less saucy) details of who shagged whom on which soap combined with explanations for retards on what happened on the last episode.

      It's just zombies: More celeb pics... must see... conditioning... TV Guide... Hello... Must see...

      Instead of "Brains..."

      Darwin can fix stupid.

        Darwin didn't fix this in mokeys

        Experiment shows monkeys will pay for monkey porn. (To be fair, looking at monkey porn did not cause their bank accounts to be emptied. Clearly a follow up experiment is needed.)

      They made one, but it was way too raunchy to use. Luckily it was leaked, you can find it here:

    Could I suggest a disconnected camera?

    They still exist - and maybe keeping those images on disconnected CF/SD cards would help either... or after all they know the power of those click baits to improve their "celebrity" status?

    After all, Paris paved the way...

      Yes, but it would not have helped in this case since she had her device stolen. Yes she is a fool for keeping the content on a device she was carrying around or left out but unfortunately we cannot blame the idiots who upload their nudes to the cloud in this particular case.

      Nothing wrong with having your own sex tapes I suppose... it's your life. But keep them on an external drive locked in a safe.

    Is that her

    in the image?

    Did someone punch her in the face to give her black eyes and spread her eyelashes across her face?

      Did someone punch her in the face? She's a wrestler, so she pretends to get punched in the face on a daily basis...

        She's a "wrestler"

        You forgot the quotes. Mildly violent borderline soft porn was not considered wrestling when I was a kid. My recollection of how wrestling is supposed to look like were more along these lines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USmFFzqh_0w

      A source for Trump administration cabinet members. Which says a lot about what now it thought to be "real American businesses".... sell fakes to gullible people.

      Soft porn which pretends to be wrestling.

      I'd rather watch proper wrestling - especially freestyle. Some of what these guys do is amazing.

    World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. Not a real competition but "entertainment"... of sorts.. And somehow linked to our fearless President.

    Despicable exploitation + despicable scamming doesn't exactly make for a great time for anyone but I'd like to hope that the stories of people getting stung while trying to view this material provides some small measure of . . . something.

    Are YOU a "celebrity" with almost no name recognition too?

    allow some "leaks" and suddenly, everyone hears your name!

    It's almost like it's deliberate or something.

    The only thing more sickening than the scam is the fact she has six toes on each foot.
