1839 Flaps in Judgment

So you gotta wonder sometimes. Recently there were a couple of flaps that really shouldn't have been flaps; that is if the people involved had a shred of common sense.
One was a flap over someone flapping their lips. In this case blueblood Paris Hilton. She was caught on tape saying some pretty negative things about homosexual men. Naturally, something as scandalous as that got sold to the highest bidder.
Paris was all contrite and apologetic and tried to backtrack from her remarks. But the damage was done. To her, and to the people she looked down her up-in-the-air nose at.
But it raises the question. With all the electronic devices out there today, how can anyone have any expectation of privacy? Especially the rich and famous. The top one-percenters may make a ton of money, but they make a ton of money for their leeches as well when they become a tabloid commodity.
The other flap was over Princess Kate Middleton. Who didn't have on a flap of material to cover her breasts. For reasons unknown to the Queen, Kate felt she needed to avoid tan lines, which perhaps are some earmark (or chest-mark) of the hoi polloi. So she bared her bosom at a private estate. Surprise! She was caught by a photographer's lens.
Again, a very simple thing to avoid. Two words: tanning bed. Any negative health effects of tanning beds are still less than the outdoor sun. (Gift idea Prince Willy?)
If you don't want people to see you private parts keep them private. I don't remember the last time I nude sunbathed on my back deck. And I'm not even famous.
These people, of all people, should know better.
Sad they don't have the common sense of us commoners.
America, ya gotta love it.
