Sometimes I just hate web newspaper editors

Well, a running story in norwegian media has been a spate of cameras placed in girls changing room for gym at school or in after school activities. Fuckin' perverts have been putting these cameras up to perv at little girls. Now I agree this needs to be covered and the issue needs to be made aware of and these perverts need to be prosecuted.

But, why oh why oh why oh why do ALL the fucking web newspaper editors need to use this image



as an illustration to run with the story. The fucker that picked this image really really really needs to be tortured to death.

It's probably the first royalty-free stock photo that comes up when they search for "changing room".

Or it's a conspiracy to piss you off. Yes, that must be it.

So, the hooks resemblance to an erect penis in a story about perverts taking pictures of girls in changing rooms doesn't disturb you?

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

 :Embarrass:

to prove my point I googled "wall hook penis" to show that a hook isn't just a hook

and found this..



I went on to look at the website containing the image

http://www.geek.com/gadgets/brandos-latest-peeping-tom-cam-disguises-itself-as-a-wall-hook-1302552/

QuoteBrando's latest peeping tom cam disguises itself as a wall hook

The problem with being a digital peeping tom is that all too often the tools at one's disposal are simply too obvious. A wireless web camera in the guest bathroom will simply call too much attention to your goal, and while obfuscating it in a shampoo bottle might help, that illusion will only last as long as your guests remain filthy.
It's enough to make a pervert despair. Luckily, though, Brando — a notorious far-east gadget maker of questionable taste and repute — has come to the rescure with the Wall Hook Coat Hanger Camcorder, a gadget which does exactly what it says on the tin: disguises itself as a hanging hook and secretly records.
Tech-wise, there's not a lot here to speak of. The camera's resolution maxes out at 640 x 480 VGA, and is recorded to a microSD card in AVI format. It's motion activated, though, which is where its usefulness to the deviant becomes apparent: simply mount it on the wall across from your shower and start slurping in video of your voluptuous housemates scrubbing themselves down once they remove their housecoats... provided they don't hang it over the lens, of course.
How much will it cost you? Just $36. Just remember to turn it off when your mother comes to visit. Unless that's your thing, of course.

in this case the hook wasn't just a hook, it was the camera...

but still, it looks like an erect penis

Looks more like an inverted flaccid penis.

I am outraged at the lack of outrage over the penis hook camera picture!
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

So no pics of the relevant item allowed. Harsh, but fair I suppose.

I hadn't noticed that. Now I think it's quite funny.

Bravo, picture editors :w00t:

The thing is that this has been happening for months now in many cases. This is not a case where phallic shaped objects or cartoon penii are in good taste.
