The Hollywood crowd is absolutely apoplectic over the leaking of compromising photos of its "stars." They site violation of privacy as the reason.

Yet many in Hollywood celebrated Edward Snowden, Bradley Manning and Julian Assange.

Curiouser and curiouser!

I enjoyed the pics of Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton.

I'm jealous of whomever took some of them.

If you cannot see the difference here, that is pretty sad. That being said, I was not upset with either leak.

These don't get leaked by accident. It's all part of the Hollywood marketing strategy.

Here's my thing. If someone wants to take pictures like that, great, that's there choice. Just don't go getting mad when they 'leak'.... especially when they are stored on a cloud! That said, it is an invasion of privacy and illegal, but still they had to know there was a chance the pictures would get out.

They want them to leak. It's all just a bunch of crap.

This is an impressive amount of stupidity for just a single sentence, even for oklalittledixie standards.

Not nearly as stupid as someone like you who believes the opposite.

I didn't realize Lawrence was 24... Thinking of her nekid was gross before because I thought she was like 16 years old.

Dude the list of celebrities involved is over 100 people long. There is way too much randomness to this for your accusation to hold any water. Besides how in the fu.cks name do that many people succesfully conspire to stage something like this without getting exposed? Anyone with just a hint of common sense knows that this is not staged. He.ll over a dozen of the names involved are celebrities who are so famous that they A) don' need any extra publicity and B) will have more damage done to their careers than this would ever do to help.

Only in your crazy world do celebrities enjoy getting *** shots released.

What they were doing isn't illegal.... what the NSA is doing is illegal.

What if it wasn't everyone's individual clouds that were hacked, but rather just Verlander's phone?

With the sheer amount of racy photos, sex tapes, etc. from celebs that have leaked over the years you have a hard time feeling sorry for these people whether the leak was intentional or not. The truth of the matter is if you don't want the public to see it then don't preserve it so they can.

OK, if you want, scratch Snowden. But as far as Manning and Assange, they were leaking the names of confidential informants and communication between nations.

What say you?

This was LSU after finding out JLaw was 24 later Sunday night:

LOL I don't blame him.

Personally, I find it hilarious. These people make money on their celebrity. Well, when you make money for being you, you shouldn't cry when people want to see all of you. It sucks, but if you don't like it get a real job.

Your argument does hold some merit to it, but some of the leaks over the years have come from photos that were supposedly delated, straight up phone hacking, or in the case of erin andrews, having their webcams hacked.

Remember that we live in an age where everything is stored on a memory card, and is thus vulnerable even if it's not put onto the cloud. At the same time 50% of the people 24 & under take these photos exclusively for stuff like snap chat which was meant to be sent online in the first place.
