Now, here's what I think is less smart (actually kinda of dumb) to come back to GFY or other public site and brag about doing it. Journalist and people are googling her like crazy now, let's suppose they find this thread or something similar.

Now the story changes, it's not the girl trying to make a buck taking some nude pics in a park. Now it's a planned scheme to take advantage of the publicity tv stations gave out for free, something that was done before and made millions, exploitation of girls (she could sit in jail we don't care, etc..) and claiming to be above the law (it's illegal but our lawyers will solve it for sure, nothing happened, etc.). Suddenly it looks like something organized and a much better target for prosecutors or politicians. Imagine if some low life reporter gets a hold of this and decides to make a name for himself by doing a 60 minutes style thing exposing this organization, he could easily blow it out of proportion and get you in trouble

My point is, you might get some more affiliates from this thread but if instead of all the bragging you would post a thread acting very concerned as i what is happening was awful you would get the same affiliates (someone would post the alexa rank, etc.) without all the problems mentioned above

It might be that I'm just being crazy but I still don't get this gfy bragging culture

It wasn't planned at all like I have said it just happen and we took full advantage of the situation is all. The media is going to write whatever they want to write and as long as they are still talking about it we are happy. If someone did a big 60 minutes story on this and we made millions umm I don't think I would mind I thought the reason to run a business was to make money. If we are not hurting anyone with what we are doing I don't see the problem at all but if you want to follow all the rules that's fine with me just not my style We were never worried because it's was a simple misdemeanor and her first time getting in trouble so even if they would have ticketed her it most likely would have been dropped. The bragging wasn't really bragging it was like oh my gosh can you believe how big this has gotten. I still can't get over how everyone in the US is so scared about a set of boobs like they are going to bring the US down lol. Melissa
