Who is in the wrong here?
A middle aged female friend from the States posted some pictures of a hen night on her Facebook site. One picture showed one of her girlfriends kneeling down on the floor playing some "hen party type" game picking up ping balls with her mouth.
Although the dress-top the girl was wearing was quite conservative, her posture and camera angle revealed a fair amount of cleavage.
The first comment on the picture was "XX being a good sport but failing LOL"
I wrote "nice cleavage tho"
Within hours the comment was removed- I got a severe dressing down from my friend and i had recieved dozens of very aggressive comments from my friend's mates, thier mates' mates and about a dozen strangers who felt the need to lambast me.
Now had I wrote;
"nice cleavage- fancy a tit wank?"
I could understand the commotion - but the girl DID have a nice cleavage- I was simply making an observation.
So who is in the wrong here ?-
(I know using Facebook makes me a twunt regardless)

I think commenting on a girl you don't know's cleavage is pretty stupid.

Agree with BGB too that the reaction was maybe a bit much but to be honest I just wouldn't make any comments about someone I didn't actually know. Especially anything a bit sexual.

The fact you felt the need to comment on her cleavage doesn't surprise me but their response was a little over the top.
Just remember that not all cleavage on show is shown on purpose.

I think he was totally in the wrong there,
what if she had a ridiculously jealous boyfriend/husband who saw his comment and went off on one. What if she's very self consious about her breasts? What if she has just been diagnosed with breast cancer or something?
You don't go talking about peoples breasts if you don't know them, it's just fucking stupid.

What if, what if, what if.
You can't go around in life thinking what if otherwise we wouldn't say the things we do to each other on here.
Yes he made a mistake but not one that warrented the backlash it received.

I think we need to see the comments
before we can judge. But if you spend a lot of time on b3ta, you do forget that most people don't find the stuff we write here acceptable, and you end up with a fairly skewed outlook.
Now if some total stranger made a comment about my girlfriends tits on a photo on facebook, I would probably be a bit miffed.

But what I'm saying is, we don't know what the comments were
So, I might post underneath, "Keep your comments to yourself fuckwit" that probably comes across quite strongly, but I wouldn't be screaming and frothing at the mouth.

Next time there's a bash I'll creep you all out and show them.

could do with some lemsip or something
but I ran out last night and it's been pissing with rain so I didn't fancy trudging to the shop. Will do so in a bit.
It sucks, it's basically just a cold, but given me a really fuzzy head. I seem to be ill quite frequently and I don't like it.

Lemsip is pretty good, even though the lemon one tastes of liquid evil.
Hopefully you'll feel better soon mr! :D

it's mostly about attitude. I need to get mine better. I've got work to do.
fuck me, just looked outside and it's raining so hard there's about an inch of water all across the road. Fuck going out in that, even if I do want medicine. I'll just drink hot lemon, honey and whisky

You're wrong...
...unfortunately, as I can feel your pain. The fact it's on display doesn't invite you to comment on it, alas.

Then what's the point of displaying it?

Sadly I think you're right
but I also think that if you don't want it looked at or commented on then don't show it, simple as that.
We can't really have it both ways realistically.

Your comment would have more validity
if she had posted a photo of herself with her tits spilling out. But someone else posting a photo of you in a position you wouldn't normally adopt makes it a bit different.

Then she should have asked for the photo to be taken down
or just worn the habit and be done with it.
Rather like Britney moaning about everyone seeing her bits - next time wear knickers or a longer skirt.

I suppose...
...if you could comment on it without sounding pervy, or whilst sounding pervy if it was someone you knew, then great. But then it's probably best not to comment in the first place when it's someone you don't know - two wrongs don't make a right and all....
As for Britney, etc., and all those other celebrities forgetting to put their underwear on, I don't understand their thinking - on the one hand it's publicity but it's also a nit much. The Britney one put me off my lunch when I first saw it.

Yeah
It probably was a bit of a daft thing to say to a stranger. If you knew the girl and her sense of humour etc then it would have different, you would have known how she would take the comment.
I agree the backlash you received was probably a tad extreme, if it were my page you posted on I'd have probably just deleted the comment and spoke to you later saying 'mate she'll get upset' or something along those lines!?!

Hang on a minute
I've just re-read the post -
A middle aged female friend from the States posted some pictures of a hen night on her Facebook site. One picture showed one of her girlfriends kneeling down on the floor playing some "hen party type" game picking up ping balls with her mouth.
And she's upset by someone saying she's got a nice cleavage?
She wasn't in her teens and some impressionable innocent.
A game involving ping pong balls....ping pong balls usually feature in Bangkok strip shows where the ladies pop them out of their orifices. Any game involving them and ones mouth is a suggestive game.
Glass houses. Stones.

I think the only reasonable response to this
is for him to post the original picture and a link to the sites of the people who abused him, so we can all create dummy facebook accounts and FUCK THEM RIGHT OVER.

thank u C/L
That was exactly my premise.
I took my lead from the photo.
in retrospect and after reading comments I think maybe I presumed that EVERYONE has a B3TA / pub culture type of humour. Obviously not.
thanks for all the comments.

This is fucking typical,
ask people their opinions, ignore everyone who doesn't agree with you...
respond to the person who's opinion gets you off the hook.

And his friend who's album he commented on.

He didn't insult anyone.
He made a mis-guided comment on someone's cleavage. Not his finest moment but not worthy of damnation.
As a woman, (despite the rumours contrary), I don't particulary like comments from strangers regarding my boobs but I do know the difference between friendly banter and sexual attention.

I would've probably commented like yourself, asked for a titwank, sent her a picture of my mighty purple warrior in a small childs hands and then stalked her so incessantly through cyberspace that it would be bloodier than Jordan and Katona fighting over a bulldogs cock.

it's facebook
it's all fairly pointless showing off. might as well take the piss a bit. you were marginally cheeky commenting on someone you've never met, but the flaming sounds utterly ridiculous. people love to gang up on someone. I recommend you take it further and wind them up a bit more.
