Pop Culture Link Roundup 10.5.14

Another case of celebrity photos hacked. This time it’s Nick Hogan, son of Hulk Hogan.

The photos that were hacked are voluminous and graphic,” the gossip website TMZ reports. “There are pics going back to his high school escapades, various girlfriends in various states of undress.”

In recent weeks, hackers have managed to get their hands on and redistribute what appear to be nude and provocative photos of celebrities such as Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, Rihanna and Kim Kardashian. Hackers apparently broke into the celebrities’ iCloud accounts, prompting an ongoing FBI investigation.

One grouping of photos posted on the web, purported to be from Nick Hogan’s personal online photo gallery, reportedly include random photos of him at home with Hulk Hogan, nude photos of women, a nude Nick Hogan photo, two photos of his mother, Linda, showing off a thong, and others. TMZ quotes Nick Hogan as saying some of the more explicit pictures don’t belong to him.

While similar to the recent hacking incident involving several female stars, this is different in that there’s a man involved.  HOLD UP, you may be saying. Before you say that though, there is no defending this shit-it is still 100% wrong.  The difference is that I don’t think it’s going to affect Hogan the way it has female celebrities. Why? Because socially, we are not taught to feel entitled to men’s bodies.  But we are socialized to feel entitled to women’s bodies.

Things only a cat owner will understand

Godz of Olympus this is accurate.  Spend hundreds of dollars on a cat tower for them to hide in, crawl in, sharpen their claws on and NOOOOOOOO, they want a carboard box to play in.

Is there any cat alive that isn’t scared of a vacuum cleaner?

Yep. So true.  I did it today.  One of my kitties, Cassie, was able to find the meat quickly.  I had to practically point out the piece of meat to my other one, Kayta.

Kayta is like this.  Her bowl can be half full, but to her, there’s nothing in there.

Yep. Last time I moved (in 2003) this was the case.

Check out the rest of the pics here.

One thought on “Pop Culture Link Roundup 10.5.14

  1. 1

    I don’t know whether there’s any cat alive that doesn’t fear the vacuum cleaner, but our late kitteh D’Artagnan had no fear of the beast—or anything else, for that matter. He’d come right over and bat at it with his paw, even when it was running.

    We’re still occasionally finding his bottle cap hoards, and it’s been something like 10 years since he died.
