Except the woman in the original photo (which has now thankfully been removed) was explicitly NOT wearing a bikini

There were at least two photos - the second one I saw being clearly (fully) bikini-clad. Edit: Actually, the first photo is still available - it's more of a lingerie thing she's wearing, but you can't see any nether regions - I've seen TV shows that reveal more.

I still think this looks more like their web admin's warped humour than anything else.

But, yeah, you're right. Call the United Nations! Someone put a nipple on the web.

Edit: Remember the whole David Koch breastfeeding row, where many mothers argued it was their right (dammit!) to show a breast in public if they needed to breastfeed?

Actually I'm more annoyed by the Politics than the girl in a bikini.
x2. I refuse to give my custom to any shop that plays 2GB (or Laws).
Add the topless shot & it just shows a lack of professionalism.

That victims of abuse are responsible and not the perpetrator ?!?
How in the blue hell did you extrapolate this line of thought from my post and why are you aiming your condescending suggestions at me? I never said anything along the lines that would suggest that a woman was 'asking for it', and if they 'get it' its their fault. I never said that or anything like that.

Your out of damn line.

Keep everything in perspective. The topic of the thread was a picture of a woman in a bikini, whether it was put there on purpose or hacked we don't know. Until we know, if we ever do, everything is hearsay nonsense.
Once again I'll say keep everything in perspective and relative to what you may find else where per say on... 4CHAN, 9GAG and Reddit, and all of a sudden this one picture is just a drop in the ocean. A very deep ocean

On second thought. Do yourself a favor and don't go to any of those sites.

More to the point what has John Laws, shock jocks and the integrity Andrews Communications and its staff got to do with each other?
