the guy put up a link to his blog where he talked about it being a scam, so it’s not really an ‘outright’ lie. although he did take that link down. point being, he doesn’t seem to be trying to scam the entire world out of their innocence. for all we know, 20 years from now thomas ellington might be looked on as the next p.t. barnum. there truely is a sucker born every minute. but imagining there are lines not to be crossed when it comes to the internet is a little naive and pollyann-ish. if anything, the precious seconds/minutes stolen by viewing those pics were redeemed by creating a parallel point of interest in bringing to light this whole lisa mcpherson mess. that’s what i think anyways.

well the internet may be a jungle, and its true that blogs aren’t exactly the beacon of ethical information, but one would still imagine that outright lies and deceit should be a line not crossed just to drive hits to your website…

good article ‘jim’…

all i’m saying is expecting all participants of a medium which is as broad and inclusive as the internet to uniformly uphold standards which established and ethics bound news dissemination services are socially required to do is expecting a bit much. the internet is like a jungle, and not all animals are going to be the noble lion. there’s going to be snakes too, and monkeys and the occasional jackass. the jungle shouldn’t be only lions just because the lion is considered the most noble of creatures. the lion feeds himself in the way he knows how, and the snake feeds himself in the way he knows how. the snake will not anytime soon choose to die of starvation to avoid using a socially unacceptable manner of feeding himself.

personally, i say if nobody’s harmed then it’s just another contribution to the internet that makes the internet cool. those photos are so obviously fake it’s almost ridiculous. i’m betting there wasn’t a lot of people who were fooled by them for very long.

good post and good writing mr pink eyed jim.

hey, I’m just a normal guy who needs to get the rent paid. I’m not cnn or msnbc either. and I still don’t go around putting up blatantly false or misleading information on my site. take, for instance, my proof of the false pictures, everything was sourced, everything was correct. I didn’t just go and start accusing the guy baselessly. I expect no more from the webmaster of commitcrime.com than I do of myself. I hardly find that presumptuous.

anybody who’s using random websites on the internet like that rotten.com wannabe commitcrime.com as a source of information is probably an idiot anyways and they should be flogged. i think it’s presumptuous to expect joe blow webmaster to be a reputable media source. joe blow webmaster is probably more concerned with paying the rent unlike cnn or msnbc, the proprietors of which are probably doing okay rent-wise.
