Angelina Boyd: Nude George Clooney pics? I wouldn't look
Out of the 101 celebrities to have their iCloud photos hacked, there doesn't seem to be a man among them. Angelina Boyd asks, why? And would we want to look?
"Hacked celebrity nude photos" screamed the headlines. They were everywhere. Another naked photo leak, another day, posted next to news of Ebola and beheadings in Iraq.
This taste for celebrity skin is disheartening. And with the advent of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat, it's becoming easier and easier to become a voyeur.
It's too easy to leave any sense of guilt at the door and click on them.
Perhaps if those neon headlines actually screamed what was really going on, like "stolen property" or "published without consent" then things would be different.
I haven't clicked on them - it's not my bag. But while plenty of people are up in arms about the idea of prurient creeps sitting back and enjoying naked photos of Jennifer Lawrence, it's not just the male gaze these images are attracting.
Voyeurism is also a female trait, with plenty of women wanting to have a look, compare, and criticise. It's the never-ending quest to discover that yes, celebrities are just like us.
It's the reason trashy magazines plastered with "stars without makeup!" headlines sell so well.
