That's a screenshot of my flickr page. I live near the scene and was there before the real reporters showed up and left when they got there. I thought my photos were helpful to the reporting of the scene and gave good context of the rescue and recovery effort. They are not crash porn. I understand your point but my intention was not to be a stah. The photos were not sold and I received no money. -JD
@ClaraMaynooth: I thought the picture was important and great, and not "Crash Porn" on your part of documenting the incident. It became "porn" when the AP was so desperate for something, they hit you up for rights to it, getting ready to shill for cash. I'll correct with a link. Apologies if you took any offense!
@RonnSicTorossian: Yeah, my thoughts too. The only people who had footage of anything were the people at the scene when it happened. The wreckage apparently sank right away. At least they're willing to pay someone for it, so I don't really get why it's bad.
@BookishLookish: I presume you heard this from Mr. Chew while your modeling portfolio was being handed back to by an underling wearing a "Thanks but no thanks" expression.
Of course they were wrong, every one of them, as we all know now.
The creepiest thing here too is that she appears to be about 12. Which is why I've often been kind of skeeved out by guys who seem to like tiny women who look not quite legal.
The demure tone of the post is sort of hilarious when accompanied by the Stoli ad that appears to show a woman mid-facial...until the camera pans out and shows that it's cigarette smoke. Stay klassy Stoli!
I was struck by their similarity with the Miley Cyrus "whoopsie, posted on the internet" photos. Looks like the same photographer.
Is this person being used to prep us for a war with North Korea? Here's the insane logic: We all are angry for getting scammed out of our beautiful bubbly economy by the slickest of grifters, and getting angrier. We have increasing tensions with North Korea. Voila, create a Korean con artist to whom we can transfer our anger. It then moves our focused anger from the cowering wall street types and politicians to the people of North Korea. Nah... that's not right. I don't feel anger towards her, just sadness.
@skahammer: And I can hardly believe the steep curve of awesome that this story continually scales.
Next I expect Kari to either free some captured American journalists or else sink a pirate ship. Possibly by offering to give footjobs with her glutes, or some other such brilliant misdirection.
Hidden in that scribbly mess of a chest-tattoo is a verse of ecclesiastes about thievery and the publication date of Dan Brown's "The Solomon Key." But you need a blue light to see them.

Dear Mr. IB:
If the Dan Brown publication date is really there, hired thugs from Random House will hunt Keri down and drag her back to Sony Mehta's office.
