question of the day: Why is there such a voracious appetite for naked-celebrity photos?

Thu, Sep 15, 2011
no comments yet

Do they make us feel better about ourselves? Is it just plain and simple purience? Do fans feel “entitled” to see a celeb naked after being teased with legit, posed, nearly naked images of the same celeb over and over again? Something else?

Dude called Astromark built a half-scale TARDIS. For his cat, Kaylee. (Though with that name, I think she deserves a half-scale model of a Firefly-class ship to muck around with.)

I realized that there was no way I was going to be able to devote the sort of time to it that it would demand if it were going to be viable.
