(198 posts)Joey Boots came out years ago. Still kinda pervy but it is also pervy to have a girl performing like that in a place like Times Square.

(7,875 posts)He even gets a quick shot of the PA's ass.
I don't necessarily fault him on the 17 thing though. I mean, it's not like she's 10- she looks grown. 17 year olds who will be legal in another couple of months don't come with a warning sign.
None of that mitigates the first count though- And he's a total asshole about it when the crotch vigilantes catch him.

(292 posts)Don't get me wrong, it's hot and all, just confused.
I'm just not used to getting soft porn with my "news."
Pretty damn creepy to film it, but there are no two ways about it being a public spectacle. Acting surprised and offended is laughable.

(6,234 posts)It is undoubtedly creepy (or at least impolite) to focus your camera on the girl's crotch, but it hardly seems fair to bring up the model's age.

(25,592 posts)And I think I would have noticed. The girl is adequately dressed for being in public. No private parts were exposed.
But people see what they want to see.
What I saw was a photography crew photographing a person in various poses in public. BTY, at least some of the crew I saw were women.
Also, how do we know the girl was 17? Who says, beside whoever posted of the video?
What the girl was doing was a standard ballerina pose.
Should we boycott Ballets as being too risque for family entertainment too?

(31,464 posts)No indication of the woman's age. And she clearly knows her shorts are "riding up," as she is repeatedly adjusting her crotch. AND there is a actually a crowd of people in folding chairs watching the photo shoot (which I agree appeared to be professional, given the crew, although I'm not sure what they were shooting. Promo shot? Album cover?
Either way, the bike guy and the old woman had no business telling the Goober Guy what he can shoot in Times Square. Anyone who has been there knows it is a circus, and most of these people actually have someone else in the crowd passing around a hat, or at least are taking tips. Funny thing is, despite the commotion, it doesn't seem to stop her from "performing," knowing people are taking pictures of her.

They can stand in front of him.
My bet is the photo crew did not have a permit for commercial photography in the first place, as required in the City of New York.

(12,882 posts)And as much as I HATE to admit it, I'm the kinda guy that would take a second look at that gal's "performance" and not feel guilty about it. I would be outraged at someone "upskirting" or video shooting some one who obviously thought they were in a private setting, but this young lady (and her crew) are delusional to think that everyone's gonna walk through Times Square with blinders on.

(62,444 posts)1. If the photo shoot was being conducted for commercial purposes, then the crew needed a permit from the City of New York. There may be some other issues in relation to labor laws and the hiring and payment of the model.
2. If the biker guy grabbed the videographer's camera, that is a form of assault.
In general, the video guy is correct that he can point his camera where he wants to point it in public. The other people are correct that they can stand in the line of view of the video guy. They are all entitled to exchange words and insults.
