mandy's bum ...
... yesterday I asked if the ghastly Telegraph could get any more trashy? Well, the story lives, the woman in question has identified herself and seems to be reveling in all the attention her bottom has received. She doesn't appear to be the least bit pissed off that someone took a photo of her bum, plastered it all over the interweb and asked Telegraph readers for comments! I wonder if her story would have been different if she had a horrid bum?

This is my first comment, Dancingmorganmouse!
Doing a big story on Mandy still doesn't get around the fact that they should never have photographed her without her permission. HOWEVER one has to wonder, doesn't one, WHO WAS BEHIND IT? (excuse the pun). Makes you think though, doesn't it? Though why waste thoughts on such inane topics as photographers and readers perving on pink bikinis?
Well, I don't know what the laws are in Oz, but there are exceptions here in the US re getting permission for "news." Arguably, this is not news.
As for Mandy - she's plastered all over the paper, whether she likes it or not. She might as well go with it. I suspect that if she avoided it, they'd hound her. Hopefully this way it'll just go away.
fiddles - well, my thoughts are that as the Tele is considered a 'newspaper' then they can photograph more or less whatever they want in the interest of telling news. They don't need her permission as they didn't show her face or ID her. She could be Jane Doe. If she were being photog'd for a book, she'd have to give her permission. But newspaper and magazines? No permission needed.
e - yeh, I'd like to think that it would just go away but I suspect she'll sell her story to Hello magazine & then a researcher will dig up a bunch of dirt on her and discover that she is in fact a trans-sexual whose real name is Trevor and that he/she is a superstar in Finland.
And then, finally, it'll actually be news. Or at least, interesting. LOL.
