Would you be proud to be an iPorn Girl

By Anja Merret

Do you ever wonder when enough is enough? Where are your boundaries? What does it take to step over them? At what stage do you say that’s enough!

It seems that nowadays there are no more boundaries. It’s all grey. No more black and white. This thought crossed my mind when I saw the iPorn girls. That is I saw pictures of them.

Do you walk around in a skimpy bikini with the words iPorn on your bottom? Would you do this for money? Of course looking at girls walking around in bikinis is not an unusual sight on a beach.

Is it different if they walk around in bikinis at a geek conference? Where do you draw the line?

In the economic down turn does it matter how you make your living as long as you can. And if you are a pretty girl, why not sell your body. After all models do this all day and every day. They might just wear more clothes, but they are definitely selling themselves and their look.

What about films where some actors and actresses seem to have no qualms in throwing off their clothes and pretending, one thinks, to have sex. They get a fair amount of money for that. Do you agree with that? It is after all for their ‘craft’ that they are stripping. For the story.

It’s a moot point really. Is this any different to big company CEO’s who lie and cheat to shareholders, the media, their staff and anybody else they can get hold of.

What about sports people. Lewis Hamilton last year’s F1 champion got caught lying during a race. Prince Harry got caught cheating in a final exam at school. Member’s of Parliament in the UK have just been caught with their fingers in the honey pot. I’m sure you can think of a few famous people who seemed to have overstepped the mark a little.

It seems to me that the world, and this statement most probably only applies to the developed world, does whatever it wants. It’s only when you get caught that it becomes bad. Hamilton is embarrassed because he got caught. MP’s are resigning suddenly, only because they got caught.

Madoff got caught. While everybody was reaping the outrageous interest he was paying, nobody complained. Where do you get such high interest. Nowhere. Be suspicious. Nope. Greed won out. Now he’s the evil one. Because he got caught.

Is that not the same then when girls parade around their naked bodies with two little strips of clothes hiding whatever in a convention centre. Body for sale. They haven’t overstepped any line because there isn’t one anymore.

Is that better for our society or worse? I’m just asking.
