BarStool croosed the line

I lurk there sometimes to see some funny pictures, but this is creepy. Who puts naked pictures of a 2 year old and then posts about it? I was listening to WEEI on the way home yesterday and they were talking about Tom Brady's son and it how it was boderline pornographic. Athletes are subjected to alot of good and bad pub from the papparazzi, but posting a pic of a 2 year old naked on the beach?

I was in the car all day and Mad Dog's backup (not Mad Dog) was very upset about this too. I haven't seen the photos or any of the other context but similar to what a dissenting caller said on that call in show, I was a child in the 70s and seeing a naked person or 100 is neither sexual nor upsetting to me. I would personally add that I think it's a peculiarly American hangup; in Europe and other countries a naked this or that here or there is unremarkable as the doctors say...

Doesn't sound like a sexual photo to me either. More like a baby in bathtub like photo.

I think if it was a pic of your 2 year old naked posted on the web you would be pissed. Especially, if they are talking about the size of his part.

I visit Barstool a lot and saw the post before it was pulled. Nothing creepy about it, they simlpy re=posted a pic of the kid on a beach that was already online at various paparazzi-style sites. They did make a few jokes about the ...um, "size" of lil' Brady (who is not so little) but it was all very in line with the usual commentary on that site. The whole Barstool vibe is kinda funny, but the style of funny that some might find offensive - some might call it crude.

I will say that the whole child porn thing is not only a line you don't want to cross, it's a line you don't even want to get remotely close to.
