I’m chomping at the bit to see this posted on youtube… SHE’S the drunken fool and you are completely within your rights to use her lack of good judgement to make us laugh. And it’s your MORAL OBLIGATION to teach the poor girl a lesson…. POST IT! POST IT! (betcha she’ll think twice next time she causes a scene in public)

Seriously, this is totally a case of “If you were an asshole in public, you are screwed.” Taping it was really your only option.

She was kinda asking for it. If she is going to make that kind of display of herself in public, then she really deserves for it to make it’s way onto the internet.

But at the same time. I kinda feel sorry for her. I have friends that act like that every time they drink. It’s embarassing, but I would totally defend their asses if someone tried to video tape them.

I’m not sure if you were in the right or the wrong either.

I would like to modify my statement, “unless one has broken a law,” blah blah. I would like it to start with, “In my opinion,” for obvious reasons.

Since it is just my opinion.

I would go with a modified #2

You’re in public so

…. you are in the public eye anyway.

It’s just less forgiving in this era of instant notoriety.

As you know, there are now cameras everywhere in public spaces. However. Unless one has broken a law, one’s footage should have a publication ban. But realistically? In the age of teh interwebz? There is no longer any such thing as privacy whilst in the public arena. We need a new paradigm. Though that may be the wrong word…

So I dunno. A good dose of empathy/moral awareness goes a long way, but that’s hard to teach isn’t it? It is indeed.

I know I’m a bit late, but I was out of town and just read this. I am normally the moral person that likes to do the right thing, but in this case I have to say recording that chick was fair game. If her friend was so concerned about her, he should have taken her home, instead of letting her go out in public like that. If you choose to drink that much, then go somewhere where you know there will be a lot of people you don’t know, you deserve any consequence that leads to. Now, if she hadn’t, you wouldn’t have been entertained, but that’s what happens. As far as making a joke at her expense, who cares? I can’t even count the jokes you tell at your expense, so as long as you can take what you are dishing out, I think its fine.

My mother always said don’t do anything you don’t want people to know about.

Reminds me of this drunk girl at a Stevie Nicks show. She was being detained by security for being out of control but according to her they doing the O.J. on her. Yeah, she was white and she had one shoe in her hand and the other in her purse. She kept screaming at everyone don’t take your shoes off or they’ll do you like O.J. Simpson as she swung her shoe over head like it was a lasso. And she would try to point with shoe and hit herself in the head. It was classic, I soo wish I had that on video. I laughed so hard that I almost died.

Hey Kevin.

There was nothing wrong with you videotaping her. Now, if you planned on going public with it (like putting it on a website or something of the sort)then you should have asked for her written consentment.

Being that she wasn’t going to give it to you, you could have always done what people on T.V. do, just blurr out the eyes and save yourself from all sorts of legal mumbo jumbo.

You shouldn’t be making a fool of yourself in public if you don’t want it shouted out in public.

blah… you were in the right… people can’t complain when they’re making an ass of themselves because then it’s all public, so what if it goes on YouTube, at least it wasn’t an upskirt, then i’d think you were odd…

Well, did it shut them all up? If so, then you made a good sacrifice for the people…

Kevin, you can be the next generation of paparazzi. You’ll know you made it when Brittney throws her baby at you
