Someone(s) maliciously released these after cracking Apple security and giving those assholes an ethical pass just because the pictures existed reeks mightily of victim-blaming.

First of all, I'm not "victim-blaming". I'm applying commonsense. Don't take nekkid digital pictures and upload them to the Internet if you fear for them to be released somehow (accidentally or on purpose). Period.

Second of all, has it been confirmed that these images came from an iCloud hack? I don't know, so that's why I'm asking.

Third of all, you are correct. We do and should "have an expectation of privacy for digital media we've personally configured for limited access". That's the whole premise of Snapchat -- but as the 5 Seconds of Summer vocalist Calum Hood can tell you, even that is not perfect.

Fourth, if you took the photos and shared them yourself, fine. But if you took the photos, maybe stored them online temporarily, and then some creep broke into your account and then spread it across the universe, that's totally no bueno.

Fifth, hopefully this kind of thing will make youngsters think twice and then thrice about sexting, etc. For such a supposedly tech-savvy generation, they really don't think their actions online through that much.

Sixth, whether or not the "privacy" horse is out of the barn, we shouldn't stop fighting for it. Why capitulate to evil?

Ethics discussions aside (containing admittedly proper indignation), these aren't ch*ldren being mentioned here.  They're old enough, smart enough to know better.  Hence my lack of sympathy.  It'd be different if they were vulnerable adults (mentally disabled, etc), or if this was some kind of upskirt or infrared see-thru trick or something.  It's still wrong, and they've been unfairly violated (as if there's a fair way to be violated ), but they were at the very least careless and now it's come back to bite them.  

The other element to this that hasn't been mentioned is the **29** aspect of the situation.  They like all the monetary and other rewards that come with fame, but have to live with the negative aspects of that lifestyle.  Just like the paparazzi hounding, stalkers, etc. People are interested in them, the minutia of their lives as well as seeing them nekkid.  More so than your average bear.

Again, not saying it's fair or right, but it's part and parcel with that life.  

Also, I don't blame them for seeking to legally rectify the situation (or the BEA to avoid becoming ensnarled with said rectification).

Second of all, has it been confirmed that these images came from an iCloud hack? I don't know, so that's why I'm asking.

I was thinking this as well.  I figured this was like all the other past incidents....security breaches in social media.  If it really is the cloud getting hacked, that's a bit more serious.  I understood the security for online security to be much more robust, and this would be the first time I'd heard of it being breached.

Once again, however, not incredibly bright and they shouldn't be surprised.  It's been my mantra FOREVER as a consultant for people to back up any files they can't live without.  In the same vein, don't ever upload or transmit (via cell towers or whatever) something you can't live with being publicly distributed.  If something is possible, it could happen.  Facts of life.

Oh, Zookie, I agree about the younger generation (now I'm gonna sound like an old fogey shaking his fist and yelling, "Get off my lawn!").

It really perplexes me the lack of foresight they have concerning social media, whether it be sexting or "puking" private, vulnerable thoughts onto F*cebook or whatever.  Try to maintain a little dignity.  Who knows what direction life will take you.  Running for Congress later in life will be a bit tough with your ass plastered all over the interwebz.

Gizmodo released six simple rules for keeping your nekkid photos off the 'net today.

1. Don't take photos of your naked body.

2. If you must take photos of your naked body, don't put them on the internet. Encrypt them and keep them on your local hard drive instead.

3. If you must put them on the internet using a cloud service:
a) Enable two-step verification.
b) Encrypt your files before uploading.

4. If you must put them on the internet using social media:
a) Well, first of all, don't.
b) Namely—surprise surprise—two-step verification.
c) Remember that ephemeral social media isn't quite as fleeting as it sounds.

5. If you have an iPhone, just deleting the photo from your phone isn't enough.

6. If it's already out there, you've got options (e.g. DCMA takedown requests).

All of that said:

Who is the girl on the right?

I haven't been able to find any of them (must not being entering the right queries), but I'm sure interested in seeing the Kate Upton stuff.  Amazing how big she looks for a woman without very much sweater meat.  I've never seen someone so (relatively) small look so busty.  The whole top 3 sizes too small trick worked really well for Yoko Matsugane, but she's pretty big to begin with.  It's all in how you package it I suppose.  She has spectacular tits regardless, but my preferences steer towards a larger direction (big duh I know her on this site).

As lovely as she is, look at this comparison.  Which tits would YOU choose?

Who is the girl on the right?

The girl on the right is a South African bikini model who often is a guest on sports radio shows down there.  Aaaaaaand, I totally forgot her name,  grrrrr!   Anyone else remember her name?

Clark (with no e) Gabel said LOTS of things.

Might you be referring to what Rhett Butler a character played by Mr. Gabel said?

Surely nobody really knows all that Clark Gabel said....

There are 2 more Game of War commercials out.  It is fun to watch Kate's tits bounced around while she is riding the horse
