Amy Polumbo - Invasion Of Privacy? Or Much Ado About Nothing?
Amy Polumbo is the most recent Miss New Jersey and a contestant in the Miss America Pageant. Recently she was a victim of an extortion and blackmail attempt by someone who mailed private photos of her that were featured on her face book account. Was she un-lady like in the photographs? Does she deserve to forfeit her crown as Miss New Jersey for having photos on a face book account? Furthermore where is the line drawn between public figure and invasion of privacy.
Amy Polumbo appeared on the Today Show with her attorney in order to dispel any negative impact that the photos may attained. She went so far as to put the photos on display in front of a national television audience. The fact of the matter is that the photos weren’t racy. They were just photos of a typical college girl being…. Get this, a typical college girl. Maybe it was a publicity stunt. Maybe some sick twisted person actually thought that the photos could be damming. Whatever the case was, all the photos served in accomplishing was wasting news time from things of more critical importance as well show America that we really have nothing better to do then conjure up non-issues on slow news days.
The larger issue at hand is where is the privacy line drawn. Well the privacy line stands firmly where it always has. Those things that are truly private are rarely brought to light unless they aren’t really private. Facebook isn’t private. In fact it is a public website. Photos published on face book aren’t necessarily private. In fact that’s an oxymoron. How can one publish something privately. Maybe there’s a caveat missing here, but I didn’t know you could publish something privately. The mere fact that something is available on the World Wide Web dispels that notion immediately. Plus all the photos of her were taken in public places. Many people could of taken the photos. The whole issue is textbook Hollywood sensationalism and these news outlets need to be more professional and stop behaving like grocery store rags.
