I think it is because people like me who watched the video couldn't imagine why you wouldn't. We like to think we are normal so one would think that you were hiding something by not admitting to watching this. I just wouldn't let a man babysit my children if I had them. The statistics aren't in favor of that anyway.
Because the title, Erin Andrews ESPN reporter nude video, gives no indication of what the content may be.
I'm admitting something by thinking it is wrong to film a person, without her knowledge, in the privacy of her own hotel room, let alone her being naked? Projecting blame/deviant behavior on to me may make you seem normal in your mind, but I'm guessing that most of America has not watched the video, nor do they care to watch the video knowing how it was filmed. Odd board. People who think the film is a violation of privacy, and then choose not to watch it, are the weirdos. OK there. And I have kids. I don't need to babysit other peoples' kids. I hope you don't have kids, since you seem to think that viewing an assault on privacy is normal behavior. Perhaps you should have someone film your wife without her knowing it, in the nude, and spread it around the internet. That'd be fun, huh?
Those vids are floating around the net, as well. Unfortunately (again) for her, she was typecast to do the report.
I guess I shouldn't try and talk to you. I was trying to help you understand what he was thinking by saying that. I think it is painfully obvious that I am think it is deviant behavior to watch the video. I personally believe that there are people who wouldn't want to watch it. I can just understand why some people would think a straight male would be lying if he said he wasn't interested in it. When I clicked on the thread the first thing I thought was that it was wrong to watch it. Then I figured that every news station would be talking about it and showing blurry clips of it. RIGHT ON THAT PART. Then I found out that she knew about the video and I figured that she won't know that I, ME PERSONALLY watched it. It wouldn't hurt her any more than she had already been hurt if I watched it. This is where you can turn it around on me and say I am making excuses, but I already admitted somewhere else in this thread that her knowing about it took all the fun out of it for me. There is way better stuff on the internet that is in glorious HD VIDEO for me to watch. Just the other day I was telling my mom how bad this country is getting. She asked what I meant and I told her this... "Mom, let's just say that there are plenty of things on the internet that entertain me that I feel should be illegal" Seriously, we won't let girls under 21 drink but they can get paid a few hundred bucks or so to do horrible things on video? Can you imagine some guy bringing his new wife back home to meet his friends and one of them had a subscription to her porn site? Stuff like that is why I don't want kids, not that they would have to worry about me.
Do you think I am wacko because I always click on links out of curiousity? There was a teenage girl killed in a Porsche in California a couple of years ago and the pictures of the crash site got onto the internet. People warned not to click the link if you had a weak stomach but I just had to do it almost as if it were a dare. I still wish I hadn't, I will never forget what I saw. I know that people have to see stuff like that every day as part of their jobs and I think they are underpaid now, no matter what kind of money they make. On the other hand, I have more of a stomach for stuff like that now and it might pay off in an emergency..who knows?
No, you clearly thought about actually viewing the video, and it appears you had some doubts as to whether you should do so. I was mainly posting about the many posters who failed to show even a bit of concern for the victim of this crime...and it is a crime.
I agree with PapaG- I didn't and wouldn't watch that video. It's as disgusting as it is disturbing. Personally, I think people who watch it are every bit a peeping perv as the person who shot it. As to it being an inside job, always possible. I had the Wendy's finger in the bowl of chili claim, and it was obvious it was a scam from the first day.
No way. If I had done the taping I wouldn't have put it on the internet. If she never knew it happened, it couldn't hurt her.

Yeah right. I bet you are wrong. I would bet that 95 of every 100 people who saw this link watched it. You are crazy if you think that most of America has not watched the video. You creep me out man...
It's kinda fuinny....Dwight Jaynes said he viewed the video....but then proceeded to chastise all the aspects of the making of it during his (BFT fill-in) show.
The fact that you think that over 51% of Americans have watched the video is creepy. You creep me out man...
I'd like to take that bet. Though it's a bit unfair, now. You couldn't get 95 of 100 people on this site to click on the link already set up for them, but you're thinking that a higher percentage of people in America are going to pull up a computer, surf for "Erin Andrews Nude", find a link, click on it, and watch it? Unless I missed it, and it was on all three alphabet's Prime-Time news, CNN and Fox every 5 minutes. And even then, I'm relatively sure I could come up with 15M Americans who haven't seen it (and won't, for whatever reason). Not shockingly, I'm solidly in PapaG's corner on this one. If you want to see nudity on the internet, there are more than a couple places to go. Heck, there are R-rated movies that you can rent if you want to see some T&A from women who are willingly showing it to you. IMHO, peeping through a keyhole and taping someone is wrong and should be punished. Thankfully, the law seem to agree with me. On a tangent, it's my understanding that someone who knowingly buys a stolen item is able to be legally charged with a crime. Is there a reason why there wouldn't be a similar law for knowingly viewing illegally-garnered "invasion of privacy" video? Any of the law professionals on here knoew?
