ESPN heavily promotes the Erin Andrews peephole video

July 24, 2009 – 6:50 am

Erin AndrewsA few weeks ago, a blurry video of a naked blond woman started circulating around the internet.  At the time, no one thought much of it.

Then, ESPN determined that it was their own Erin Andrews and started issuing take-down notices to any sites that hosted the video.  Since then, as I’m sure you’ve heard, it’s become a huge story in the news.  Now, rather than a few people knowing about the video with some random woman in it, millions of people know about the video and know for sure that it’s Erin Andrews.

This is a tough situation.  The person that shot the video was very obviously doing something illegal, and it’s understandable that ESPN and Andrews would want it removed.  However, their actions have promoted the video to millions of people, and thousands of them likely have seen it.  Sometimes when you want something bad to go away, the best thing to do is simply ignore it.

    First of all I hope everyone that has tried to download this video reads this. Second, I apologize to Erin Andrews,not only for the person that did this but the many that have tried to download this video. Every single one of you are just as guilty as the person that made the video. I understand that us males are curious by nature but come on. Be grown up and ignore this thing and it will go away. Its there because of sick demand. How would you like it if it had been done to you. The person, most likely persons that committed this crime will be caught and I hope an extreme example is made of you.

    And to everyone that has the search for the video logged in your history, shame on you. Did you loose your morals and self right somewhere? Most of you I bet are fathers, someone that is looked up to by someone, someone that is accountable. Look in the mirror, You thought you were better than that didnt you?
